Music like Teen Hearts

Tyler Ray Ward (born March 12, 1988) is an American independent singer, writer and producer.

Before Ward had interest in music, his focus was on athletics. After graduating from high school, Ward enrolled at the United States Air Force Academy Preparatory School, where he studied and played football. Ward left the Air Force Academy after his first semester and transferred to UNC as a scholarship collegiate football athlete.

Ward has become a well-known artist in part through his use of social media, posting a mix of covers and originals on YouTube. Ward has successfully completed five worldwide headlining tours and has played shows with many mainstream artists including Switchfoot, The Beach Boys, Aloe Blacc, The Jonas Brothers, The Fray, Yung Joc and many more. Through his music video career, Ward has performed and produced most of his early songs and many of the current ones in his parents' basement, which he later turned into a proper recording space. Nowadays, Ward produces most of his music on the road or in his Los Angeles recording studio. Ward was number five on Billboard's Top 100 Uncharted List and was also ranked on Billboard's Social 50 Chart for several weeks.
