Or maybe an EP – school just got out for summer so I’m already writing new material.Tyler Drew Morris is a 18 year old teenage guitar prodigy from the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. I’m working on the “B side” song for it since I will release it as a single. Of course! I have this new song called Like A Girl which I'm really excited to go into the studio to record. It was mostly stressful, but also really fun to be able to get back into the studio and record another EP!ĭo you have plans to release new material soon? We had a deadline of releasing the EP on Februso it was pretty difficult finishing writing and recording the songs in time. What was it like writing and having this experience of releasing Charm School Dropout? Before I'm on stage I usually am a bit nervous, but when I actually get on stage I'm always feeling great. I don't ever really get any stage fright.
#MUSIC PRODIGY GUITAR HOW TO#
Have any of you ever suffered from stage fright? Any tips for beginners on how to beat that? Touring with the Warning would be amazing. What would be the feat of your dreams? With which band or musician?Ĭollaboration wise? I’d love to rock out with Metallica. I tend to write emotionally driven, sometimes angry and dark songs but I’m a 13 year old girl.
Every song I have released has a backstory to it. I met the current guitarist from Vixen at a rock camp (Britt Lightning) so I listened to their music and thought it was cool. Which women in the rock scene do you most admire?Ĭurrently I’m a big fan of the Warning. Metallica, AC/DC, Megadeth, Bon Jovi (actually most of the 80s Hair Metal bands), Shinedown, Tom Morello, Eddie Van Halen. What are your biggest musical influences? I think it might show up on a future album. I did a girls rock camp where I had to write a song with a bunch of other girls, and I wrote this song called "Dark Skulls". He has influenced me so much and worked with me to be the musician and performer I am today. For my first year I was with a female guitarist, which was so cool and then when I turned 7 is when I started working with my current instructor, Rafael. I have always been working with shredder rock/metal guitarists and so they influenced my musical direction a lot. Here you get exposed to all of the different music instruments so when you move up to Rock 101, you have selected an instrument and are assigned an instructor to work with weekly. I started going to School of Rock when I was 6 years old and I was in their rookies program. My mom has always loved rock music, and she always plays it in the car, which I think probably influenced me to play rock. Why did you want to play this genre (rock)?
