We’re super excited to feature Tyler Hilton on Creator Sessions—an artist you just may be familiar with. An accomplished storyteller, Tyler has released 7 albums, had a recurring role on the hit TV show One Tree Hill, and even portrayed Elvis Presley in the Academy-award winning film, Walk the Line.
In 2010, Tyler parted ways with his label and became a completely independent singer-songwriter. In this session, he shares the benefits of being an independent artist, tips on how to establish a deeper connection with your fanbase, and more. He also performs original songs and unveils the creative process behind writing them.
This episode is packed with honest insights about the music industry from a seasoned artist. We can’t wait for you to watch!
