Tye Wil

Story

I begin my music journey in middle school band, started out playing the snare drum. One day while eating breakfast, my big bro was beating on the table with his hands, from that day I was inspired by music. My brother was really heavy in the streets and music comes with the city life, especially hip hop and rap. I was always in between primary Michael Jackson and Jay-Z, though I listened to other artist like DMX, PAC etc... One day about the age of 11 years old I pick up a keyboard without prior lessons and just started playing Michael Jackson smooth criminal, later I had a spiritual encounter with the angle of music and every since, I just stuck to music, from making beats, rapping and playing in marching bands.
