Micah Tyler Biography
Micah Tyler (born April 19, 1983) is a singer-songwriter and Texas native. Micah's true passion is telling good stories and loving people well. Having served in youth ministry for almost a decade, Micah has a true love and respect for the local church. He also wants to create Gospel-centered music with a style that attracts the unchurched. Tyler has developed a unique style he calls "Southern Soul." Birthed from the grooves and melodic influences of his childhood idols (Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, etc.) and the swamps and deep woods of southeast Texas, Micah's music is growing a fanbase of young and old alike.
Micah released his first studio record, "The Story I Tell," in October 2013. It debuted at #3 on the iTunes Christian/Gospel charts and #93 on the overall iTunes charts. It also reached #2 on Billboard Magazine's Heatseeker Chart for the South Central United States region (Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico) for all genres released that week.
Continuing his success, Micah released a fun project titled "The Kitchen Sink EP" on October 7, 2014. It climbed all the way to #2 on the iTunes Christian/Gospel Charts. Tyler describes it as "the kind of record you listen to with your steel-toe dancing shoes on" because it will both lyrically challenge your heart and make you want to get up and dance.
In 2017, his country-gospel single "Never Been a Moment" became a Christian radio hit. Two other songs from his album Different (2017) made the Top 10 on Billboard's Christian Airplay chart. Tyler's achievements were further recognized with a Best New Artist nomination at the 2017 Dove Awards.
Micah's latest full album, "New Today," was released in 2020 and reached No. 25 on the Billboard Magazine Christian Albums chart. Notable tracks include "New Today" and "Feels Like Joy." His artistic journey continued on March 24, 2023, with the release of his latest EP, "People Like Us." The song "I See Grace" rose to the top of the Christian Airplay chart.
Micah has travelled extensively to play and lead worship at churches, concert venues, camps, retreats, coffee shops, and various platforms all over Texas. He's shared the stage with national touring acts like Building 429, Leeland, Phillips, Craig & Dean, Sanctus Real, Unspoken, Matt Baird (Spoken), Jimmy Needham, The Afters, Sidewalk Prophets, and Phil Wickham, bringing his swampy, Gospel style to new audiences across the country.
