His music has been featured internationally on radio stations such as New York’s WOR 710, UK’s Taff Air Radio, Dixie Radio Indy, Planet Net Tunes, KWAV.biz, Pop Garden Radio, XF Radio, The Jake Larsen Show, Decades 5, Radio Basile and more. As if that weren’t exciting enough, he will soon be featured on Radio Disney as one of their Incubator Artists. Shamy has also been chosen to be a roster artist on the "School Zone Pop! Tour", in which concerts are performed for middle schools and high schools as fund raisers to support performing arts programs. Tyler enjoys giving back to the community by performing at charity events for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Gomez Family Food Drive, and other important associations. Additionally, Tyler is donating one of his songs to the compilation CD “Cure Across the World”- all proceeds are given directly to The American Cancer Society.

Already impressing fans all over, Tyler’s career is sure to be a successful one. Shamy believes that his recent material is more appealing than the tracks on his past demo because he has grown and changed. Moreover, he feels that he has developed the style that he has been working towards for a while. He is recognized for his unique mixture of pop, r&b, rock, and soul. It is a rarity to find an artist that can flawlessly sing such a wide range of genres. Whether a major deal comes his way or not, Tyler plans on completing a full album this year.
