First post of the new year! Meant for it to be sooner, but things have been a little hectic, but here you go!

If you are as passionate/obsessed with YouTube artists as I am then there is no way that you haven't heard of Tyler Ward. But for those of you that haven't heard of him, I consider him to be the "top dog" of YouTube artists. So who is this Tyler Ward????

Tyler Ward is a singer/songwriter from Colorado. The thing is, he originally was pursuing football. He soon realized in college that his calling was music. He often skipped classes and football practices so he could finish writing his songs. He first realized that he wanted to become a national recording artist when he opened for The Fray, Jonas Brothers, Gavin Degraw, Augustana, and Ryan Cabrera. His talent in songwriting and singing has even attracted some major label professionals.


YouTube

Tyler Ward's presence on YouTube is phenomenal. He has around 340,000 subscribers and 85 million total upload views. That is an incredible feat for a YouTube musician. Recently he has discovered that he has a large following in Germany and in recent videos has done some shout outs to his German fans.

Most of his YouTube videos consist of him doing covers of popular mainstream songs, but he does have originals that he posts pretty often. He has good control over his voice and it is very marketable. I haven't found one song of his yet that I do not like. Labels would be stupid not to sign him.

What I admire about him the most is his ability to work with and help fellow artists. He held the Tyler Ward's USA Live Lounge contest that allowed other YouTube artists to compete to win the prize of flying to Colorado and recording with him. Kaitlyn Rosenblum won that contest (You can read my post about her here). Tyler constantly does collaborations with other artists, and he is rarely seen doing a video by himself. He often collaborates with artists from other channels, but he is most of the time seen with his "crew".

The Crew



Julia is often thought of to be Tyler's girlfriend, and as much as the fans want it to be true, they are NOT together. But they do have magnificent chemistry together when performing. On her own, Julia has a powerful voice and makes every cover she sings her own. She also is very talented at songwriting. The originals that she has released have been mostly about relationships and they are written in a way that just about everyone can relate to. This is one of my favorites of hers, an original called "Far Away" ft Kevin Littlefield






Eppic is the rapper of the crew. In the covers he doesn't just rap the same thing as the original, but he often makes his own that fits perfectly into the song. He is passionate and serious about what he does, and he is great at it. Here he is performing his original song "Doubt" ft Julia Sheer.




Julia and Eppic are the two main people in Tyler Ward's "crew" but often other talented artists will join him to create many masterpieces. Their videos are well produced and each cover song has its own Tyler Ward and Crew twist to it, and in every video they make it fun, you can't help but smile. I know that Tyler Ward and all the artists that are a part of his crew have the talent to make it big and I hope the best for them. To end it, here is a fun one of theirs which is a cover of Far East Movement's "Like A G6"
