Tyler Bernhardt

Artist Information

Biography

Tyler Bernhardt was born and raised in Fairfield, Connecticut. At an early age, he began teaching himself guitar, bass, piano, and drums, which led to a lifelong passion for music. In high school, he co-founded an a capella group called Close Harmony, a staple of Fairfield’s musical education system. Upon his high school graduation, Tyler released an original 5-song EP with fellow musician Darian Cunning.

In 2007, Tyler was offered a full scholarship to study Jazz Vocal Performance at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music. There, Tyler became part of the prestigious Jazz Vocal Ensemble 1. In addition, he was recruited to the elite Downbeat award-winning jazz vocal group, Extensions.

In 2010, he signed with Forward Motion Records, a South Florida based indie-label, run by Dreaming In Stereo’s own Fernando Perdomo. A few months later, Tyler released a full-length album of original songs called “What Is This,” which he co-produced with classmate Luke Moellman. In 2011, Tyler’s song “Happiness In History” was awarded first place in the Indaba-Jango Airplay Opportunity contest.

Tyler’s original music blends elements of indie-pop, Americana, and rock into a genre all its own. He has performed at venues such as The Van Dyke, Transit Lounge, The Stage, The Acoustic Café, and The Quick Center. His music is available on iTunes, Amazon, and many other online retailers.
