Hi, My name is Matt Tyler and I'm a 24 year old singer/songwriter from Birmingham.
Influenced by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles, and Dylan I perform in the genre of Acoustic Rock/Folk.
I record, write and produce on my own label Dannyboy Records and have a Worldwide Digital Distribution deal with Orchard Music of New York.
My music is available on all good digital music stores worldwide including iTunes, eMusic, Napster, Amazon, 7 Digital etc.. as well as my own website and eBay. Downloads are now in 6 figures worldwide (100,000+).
I have received airplay up and down the country (UK) on Radio Stations such as BBC Radio WM, BBC Radio Leicester, BBC Radio Shropshire, BRMB, Beacon FM, Isles FM (Record of the week), Loch Drummond FM, Radio Wolf and Vale FM amongst others. I was also twice a semi finalist in The UK Song Writing Contest (05 and 06).
I have been gigging for over 7 years now and played over 600 gigs. Playing venues such as Birmingham Town Hall, The Birmingham Rep, Wolverhampton Civic Hall, Buxton Opera House, Southport Theatre, Prince of Wales Theatre (Cannock), The Crescent Theatre, The MAC, The Custard Factory,The Birmingham Library Theatre, The Old Rep, The Cavern (Liverpool) and The Hard Rock Cafe (Birmingham) and The Royal Spa Centre.
In addition I have also played festivals such as The Acoustic Festival Of Britain, Oxjam, Warwick Folk Festival, Fuse Festival, Buskathon, Artsfest, Gigbeth and Sutton Arts Fest.
In 2006 I completed a successful mini tour of The USA. Playing dates in Nashville, Memphis, and Florida.
In 2008 I embarked on a tour of the West Midlands on The Dead Flowers By Midnight Tour 2008.
In 2009 I was was honoured to play support to Birmingham Music Legend Raymond Froggatt on his UK tour "Blue and Gold Tour 2009" .
I have been fortunate enough to have played with many big names in the music industry including the likes of Raymond Froggatt, Steve Gibbons, Trevor Burton (The Move), Allan Taylor (English Folk Legend) and Mick Feeney (Irish Folk Star).
As of 2008 I now play as one half of the duo/band "Lost Heroes" who are in my top friends. More news on what they are up to very soon!
I also run my own Internet radio station "Matt Tyler Radio". Its on air 24/7 and you can listen in at: www.live365.com/stations/matttylermusic

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
