Our newest AZDCMA Member Artist, Tyler Brakeall, is bringing that kind of honest, stripped-down country sound to audiences throughout the state.
Based in Arizona’s White Mountains and originally from Glendale, Tyler grew up surrounded by the kind of country and western music that sticks with you for life. Artists like Chris LeDoux, George Strait, Dwight Yoakam, and Randy Travis helped shape his foundation, giving him an appreciation for traditional country storytelling, strong melodies, and songs that feel genuine from the first note.
But Tyler’s musical influences did not stop there. Rock bands like Audioslave, Matchbox Twenty, and Pearl Jam also helped shape his love for powerful songwriting and raw expression. That mix comes through in the way Tyler approaches his music today: country at its core, but built around emotion, authenticity, and the kind of vocals that make people stop and listen.
