Tyler Christian: Berklee Two Track I Pride

Tyler Christian performers “I Don’t Care” by Ariana Grande
and their original “Never See Me.” They share their story of coming out as nonbinary to celebrate the theme pride.

Tyler Christian is a 21-year-old artist, performer, singer-songwriter, and vocal arranger from just outside Atlanta, Georgia, now based in Boston. Having been brought up by the sounds and influences of almost all genres, they strive to create music that provides a new, inventive, yet nostalgic experience for listeners, helping Tyler and others express and find themselves. These influences range from Brandy, Beyoncé, and Ariana Grande to Fleetwood Mac, Nirvana, Tori Kelly, and even James Taylor. For a little over a decade, Tyler has known that music is the thing that keeps them going, and there’s nothing else that they are as passionate about.

Two Track is a music video series designed for Berklee’s YouTube and social media channels that features artists in an intimate setting with only one microphone and continuous camera takes. Each recording session will revolve around a single theme (i.e., connection, love, dreams) that can be expressed by the artist either through their track selection or through a short storytelling segment that will be recorded as part of the performance. The videos in this series will premiere at specific dates and times, but if you miss the premiere, each video will be public on the channel in continuity.
