|
 Tyler's love of music began in the late 70's - early 80's while he and his family lived and
travelled around the world. Because his father was a disco, funk & soul diehard, Tyler was always surrounded by a variety of musical styles.
In Toronto, Canada, Tyler spent the latter part of the 80's stage-diving and frontlining as lead singer in various punk bands. In 1989, while attending film school, Tyler hosted numerous warehouse parties in the downtown core. Not happy with what the DJ's were playing, he decided to provide the music himself, playing a mix of reggae, funk, hip hop, acid jazz & house.
In 1991, Tyler moved to Vancouver, British Columbia. The underground music scene consisted of pop techno and early rave. Tyler was one of the first DJ's to introduce house music to Vancouver, spinning at all the warehouse parties and raves. In 1992, Tyler started "Romper Room", his first residency. This club was the only place to hear proper house by artists like: Murk, Todd Terry, Kerri Chandler, and Masters at Work. Tyler was quickly recognized as Vancouver's top house DJ.
Tbone's mixed tapes and cd's have received outstanding reviews by respected publications such as, Muzik, DJ, Mixer, URB, XLR8R, & iD. It wasn't long before word spread and Tyler was playing at some of the best clubnights in the world: The Shelter & Red Dog in Chicago, DIY / Bounce, Back to Basics, The Rex in Paris, Space at Bar Rhumba, Tribal Function, Radius, Wiggle, and Fabric.
Over the years Tyler has brought to town, and played along side many of the world's top DJ's such as Doc Martin, Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Murk, Little 'Louie' Vega, Deep Dish, Ritchie Hawtin, Derrick May, Global Communications, Kenny Hawkes, Terry Francis, Pure Science, Evil Eddie Richards, to name a few.
