Tyris, a native of Chicago, has been on the jazz scene for several years performing in local jazz clubs in and around the city. 

Tyris is dedicated to perfection in his playing and as a musician, producer and composer, he has participated and helped create some memorable music for other artists around Chicago including Mike & Gina Thurston, Monique Whittington and Euclid Gray as well as international artists such as Jai Walia of New Delhi, India.

"I like to write songs that speak to the innermost being of a person and music is a universal language that appeals to all the people of the world." says, Tyris.

After several years of playing the organ for church, Tyris began honing his talents around Chicago. He then proceeded to take the show from the local Jazz clubs in Chicago to the international stage performing in countries like Singapore, India, Korea, China and The Philippines.

The CD 'Angel' is the sophomore release of Tyris with smooth piano melodies on songs like 'Trinity', and funky grooves like the hit song 'Melissa', written by his guitar player Leonard 'Len' Stallworth and the title track 'Angel', with smooth vocals that compare with such artists as Diana Krall and Nancy Wilson.  

Tyris have been interviewed and featured in magazines and news papers around the world and appeared on major television shows such as, Good Morning India and World News. 

Tyris is currently preparing for his new CD in 2012.
