Tyler Presley

Singer-Songwriter Tyler Presley’s greatest strength is not his powerful voice, his effortless musicality, or his evocative lyricism. It’s his unwavering empathy; his ability to embody, and often eulogize, real life characters that are very different from himself.

Whether singing about a migrant worker who fell to his death on a Brooklyn skyscraper or an Indigenous girl who was abducted while hitchhiking along the Highway of Tears, Tyler Presley gives voice to marginalized characters by telling their stories with passion and sincerity.

As a person of mixed race, the songwriter’s lived experiences allow him to approach these stories from a place of deep understanding, implanting pieces of his own life into each of his lyrics while still honouring the victims at the center of each song.
