Ty Head Shot2Ty Brown
Ty Brown is a lucky guy and he knows it. He grew up amidst a loving family in a quaint, close-knit community, parlayed his boy-next-door people skills into a well-paying job and built a solid all-American lifestyle for himself. He was a man with a plan. But, his storybook lifestyle was not always met with a sigh of contentment at day’s end; music called his name and, after years of reflection and internal debate, Ty returned to what “completes” him.

“My parents always told me to do what made me happy and that only 4% of the world today enjoys what they do as a career and--if I can find that--to go for it.”
