"... It (Tyler's music) is full of musical complexity and emotional clarity... Phillips seems conversant with the alchemical function of art to transform common personal experience into universal gold..." The San Antonio Current

Caroline and I went to high school together and she was the first person to sing one of my songs in a staged production. Caroline will be graduating soon from NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
I was very lucky to have Morgan Karr recently seen in the Broadway production of SPRING AWAKENING to sing two of my songs...

Hello everyone, This is Shawn's cousin Susie. Sadly, he asked me to communicate to his top 40 friends on his and Chris' page that Chris passed away 4 weeks ago today at the age of 34. As all of you know from their story which aired on Intervention on A&E, Chris fought against his addiction to alcohol for many years, but in the end, he decided to end his life and lifelong struggle. Shawn, along with both sides of families and friends are devastated, but most of all, Shawn is because he found him. Please pray for him, he is taking it very hard. He also asked me to convey that you honor Chris and his life by TELLING his story. Tell everyone you know to view their page so that they can see what an amazing couple they were and so that this doesnt have to happen to anyone else...ADDICTION DOES KILL! Honor Chris by saying something on your page or theirs. Since the services, we have received thousands of messages from people all over the world that shared different ways that thier story on Intervention on A&E touched or changed their lives. Again, please pray for Shawn and all of us. This is a very tragic and painful loss to many. Sincerely, Shawn and Chris' Families and Friends
