The latest release · August 21, 2026

I’ve Got Joy.

Not happiness pretending the hard room is empty. A deeper hope that can carry tears and still keep looking up.

The song began with an honest conversation about loneliness. Tyler wanted the chorus to tell the whole truth: sadness and heartbreak can remain present, while joy in the Savior remains alive underneath them.

The journey

A calling learned
in public and private.

BEFORE THE SONG

Before the streams, there was Scripture, service, and the slow work of learning to listen.

Tyler’s writing moves between personal testimony and songs built for the church to carry together. His process often begins with a biblical image, a hard question, or a prayer honest enough to sing before it is polished.

01 · 2024

The messenger

Tyler stepped away from full-time work to answer a call toward worship, songwriting, and recording. The debut album MESSENGER became the first substantial marker of that yes.

02 · 2025

Faith with a pulse

Whisper Above My Shout, Count Me In, Heaven Come Down, and the Fire In My Bones EP widened the sound—from reflective prayer to bold revival anthems.

03 · 2026

A folk road opens

This Little Light Of Mine and Fishers Of Men brought banjo, acoustic guitars, and story-song directness to the front. Now based in Summerville, Tyler is still sharing the process as the next songs take shape.

The ministry beneath the music

Worship that
walks out
the door.

The goal is not a louder platform. It is a bolder, more honest witness.

Across Tyler’s catalog, worship becomes testimony: chains breaking, dry ground asking for rain, ordinary people dropping their nets, and a small light refusing to be hidden. The sound changes, but the invitation stays steady—to trust God’s timing, live awake to grace, and follow Jesus without keeping a second life in reserve.

Scripture into storyBiblical scenes become songs that feel lived-in, human, and close.
Honesty before polishQuestions, failure, longing, and hope are allowed to share the same verse.
Revival into daily lifeFaith is carried beyond the room—into choices, courage, service, and witness.

Fishers Of Men · 2026

Drop the nets.
Follow.

Written in July 2024, it was the first Christian folk-style song Tyler had written—and the beginning of a direction he did not yet know God would open.

The release leans into the plainspoken force of discipleship: Jesus calls ordinary people, and obedience often looks unreasonable from the outside. Acoustic guitar, banjo, and a road-worn rhythm make the story feel immediate rather than distant.

Stories inside the songs

Every title holds
a piece of the road.

LIGHT

This Little Light Of Mine

A writing challenge became a high-energy folk anthem about refusing to shrink faith. Tyler has described the song as a way to root worth and identity in Christ.

SURRENDER

Count Me In

Born from reading Acts and confronting spiritual complacency, the song took shape as an unfiltered prayer for a faith willing to lose comfort, reputation, or platform.

TRUST

Bigger & More Beautiful

After a year of shifting plans and an unclear future, Tyler wrote toward the God who holds both stars and ordinary names—and honored late co-writer Joy Dame in the finished release.

Tyler today

The songs are still
being lived.

A new home base. A clearer folk language. A release rhythm that keeps moving.

Tyler’s current social posts often feel like an open writing room—new hooks, unfinished songs, questions for listeners, and glimpses of what may be released next. It is a ministry growing in real time, with the audience invited close enough to hear the first spark.
