About Tyler Shaw:
This 22-year-old, Toronto-based singer/songwriter is off to a great start in the industry. Thanks to the strength of his 2012 debut single “Kiss Goodnight,” Shaw’s become a rising star in the Canadian pop scene. Co-written with Stephen Kozmeniuk and Todd Clark, the song garnered some major accolades in the music industry. The catchy pop track received a MMVA nomination in 2013 in the key category of Video of the Year. “Kiss Goodnight,” saw great traction with radio as well, spending 22 weeks in the Top 10 at AC Radio and peaking at #5 on that chart.
The following year, Tyler really broke on to the scene with an impressive JUNO Award nomination for Breakthrough Artist of the Year . Following the award nominations and great radio success, Tyler released, “By My Side” which cracked the Top 10 AC charts, and “House of Cards,” which had an epic rise up the Canadian radio charts and quickly reached Gold certification status. Although honoured by the attention his signature brand of rock-tinged pop has received, Tyler’s biggest focus is to inspires his listeners with the same positive attitude he brings to his own life and music.
“Kiss Goodnight” was ultimately certified as a Platinum-selling single, and Tyler soon released his debut album, Yesterday, on September 4, 2015. With all that success, Shaw then landed opening slots on select Canadian shows with artists including Shawn Mendes, Selena Gomez, Francesco Yates and Pitbull. While Tyler Shaw has been thrust into the national spotlight, his focus remains the same as it did when he first started out: To write from his heart and inspire listeners to make the very best of their own lives, while making a conscious effort to improve the lives of those around them in equal measure.
