Championing the challenge, where no one saw him coming, Tylar is a new contender who's in it to win it. The former MMA fighter changed his career path to pursue a passion that caught him completely by surprise. He laid down his gloves to pick up a songwriter's pen and a guitar. In a courageous leap of faith to chase his dream, Tylar moved to Nashville in 2019. Known for his charismatic stage presence, electric live performances, and infamous beer showers among his audiences, onlookers would never expect Tylar Bryant to be anything but a country music entertainer.   Tylar grew up listening to an array of music from rap (Zro, Tupac, Biggie, Hawk, Pimp C) and the tunes that echoed in the background at his grand mom's home (Al Green, Luther Vandross, The Temptations, Diana Ross). The Texas native prides himself in his authenticity and ability to infuse a mix of styles and sounds. Influenced by some of country music's greatest voices and performers (such as Jim Reeves, Randy Travis and Chris Young), Bryant marries modern and traditional country sounds with rock and R&B grooves for an added twist. Playing more than 80 shows a year, Tylar's canvassed the Lone Star State.
