Artist
Tyler Huston's (http://myspace.com/tylerhuston) musical career began in the mid '90s, leading worship in his early teens at Pure Heart Christian Fellowship's youth group and (on occasion) congregation in Arizona, while also writing and crafting songs that uniquely spoke of life experiences and his religious faith. Lesser known artists such as Terry Taylor (Daniel Amos, The Lost Dogs), Mike Roe (The 77s), and Steve Hindalong (The Choir; who would later co-produce Tyler's NovaLux album) are just of the few individuals that played a small role in shaping the signature style that Tyler called his own. In the summer of 1998, KMG Records, a record company from Nashville, heard the track "Joker's Wilde" on a local Phoenix, AZ compilation record. They liked what they heard and scheduled an audition at Tyler's home. Upon hearing a live performance of that song, as well as others, they signed Tyler's band, The Straw Theory, to a record deal. In the winter of '98, recording of the band's debut album began. The record was finished by the summer of '99 when Tyler was just 19 years old. His band then started touring in the fall of the same year, ending in the winter of '99. The Straw Theory disbanded amicably the beginning of the following year (and still remain friends to this day). In 2003, after a period of inspired songwriting, pre-production on Tyler's debut solo record began. Honing the songs that would eventually make up the album proved to be a stretching time for Tyler stylist
