Биография

From a long line of musicians, Southern California’s Tyler Hilton starting writing and recording at an early age. Discovered by KLOS Los Angeles radio hosts “Mark and Brian” at age 15, Hilton’s rise wasn’t wholly surprising. With his raspy, soulful voice, his personal lyrics and laid back, catchy melodies, Hilton’s debut album “The Tracks of...” saw to songs make the Billboard Top 40 charts and lead to collaborations with Taylor Swift (appearing in her video for “Teardrops on My Guitar”), Lady Antebellum, Billy Ray Cyrus and Joe Cocker among others. But it was his turn as ‘Elvis Presley’ in the Oscar winning Johnny Cash biopic “Walk the Line” and subsequent Grammy winning soundtrack that launched a surprising acting career leading to multiple film and TV projects alongside the likes of Robert Downey Jr. and Halle Berry. Most memorably perhaps, was his role as musician “Chris Keller” on the CWs “One Tree Hill” that led to a rabid international fan base and appearances on “The Tonight Show”, MTVs “TRL”, and a feature in People Magazines “50 Most Beautiful People”. Hilton’s newest album, the gritty and cinematic “City On Fire” was recently showcased on Showtime’s “Shameless”. Hilton currently resides in California and Ontario, Canada with his wife, actress Megan Park and their daughter Winnie.
