Growing up in Sudbury, Ontario, Tyson started working underground in the mines at 18. He still works a 14-days-on, 14-days-off rotation, writing and recording on his days off. Country music was always the dream, and he’s chasing it with the same grit that gets him through a shift thousands of feet below the surface.

He learned guitar at seven by playing classic country songs by Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley and George Strait alongside his family. Today, his own sound blends those traditional roots with the big melodies and studio polish of 1980s country the way Ronnie Milsap and Steve Wariner made it.

He’s opened for Jade Eagleson, The Reklaws and Owen Riegling, and he’s now recording in Nashville, with new music on the way.
