Tyler Gallion

The title of my current project and upcoming independent release is "The Good Vendetta". This title describes my music as a whole. A good vendetta means to overcome others, but more importantly yourself, in a positive light...in this case, my music has been my good vendetta. I never once saw myself in front of a mic, nor did I believe I would ever have a voice or capability of writing a song. Eventually though, the words worked and I found myself able to express what I felt. There's nothing more important to me than music and I couldn't be happier to now share my own, whether that be in a small location as in an intimate coffee shop, or up on a stage in front of a vast crowd. My next goal is just to spread my music to as any people as I can. My biggest influence would have to be Ryan Adams, also from N.C. I completely respect him, and have followed his work from the start. He has continued to improve himself, and he is one of the most underrated, harder workers in the music business today....this is how I see myself in the future. What sets me apart from other musicians in my line of music would have to be my lyrics. I never try to just slap a song together...all of my songs are very personal to me. Also, my guitar work; I never have a plain old strumming pattern... I love different tunings, and unique picking styles.
