Oh, you know what page this is: so you should feel right at home (this joke is getting evicted)! Ahem… transitioning from that shameless icebreaker, allow yourself to be introduced to! Hi, my name is Tyler, I was born in Astoria, New York on July 12th, 1997, I’ve been a Florida guy since 2001, and you are? (Insert your meticulous backstory here) Kidding! Seriously, you don't have to do that! I already know who's reading this: a soon-to-be fan.
Aha – so yeah, anyway, to be avant-garde (because being different is neat), I decided to make my artist name each part: first, middle, and last! I'm glad you decided to drop by, there are a lot of websites out here in this optimal vertical/horizontal rectangle, which you are currently viewing; it means a bunch that you chose to visit mine! TRG is my first ever Bandzoogle and Printful powered website, and it consist of these following elements: a continuum of thought-out scenes expressed through my vivid and tremendous novel quality lyrics, Lyrical Stories, (I began writing LS on June 29th, 2019 and edited them through the years), and standalone and cinematic illustrations/digital graphics, which I inventively crafted by using a mix of modern photo editing (I began learning how to do that on April 3rd, 2016) and futuristic components for each song-sung episode! I write all the lyrics heard/read and use high-powered technology to materialize sounds to each one of my LS characters! Basically, I'm what happens when you grant a vast emotive storyteller/lyricist the transcending power of high-tech computers to bring forth voices and music to their evolving writings! Let me tell you, after spending years learning multiple instruments (guitar, bass, piano, violin, drums, ukulele, flute – no lie, that one almost killed me, so I had to swap it out for a banjo), and constantly struggling to produce publishable songs with them, I can't even begin to express how much futuristic technology has saved my innovative rump.
I can sing and play (separately) what I learned to a degree (some more than others), but after so many years worth of scratched out chord progressions, riffs, melodies, bass lines, and going through a whole load of music books, pedals, and softwares, I honestly cannot for the life of me construct a full song by myself. For the longest time, I wanted nothing more than to sing and create music the traditional way, but regardless of how I commited myself to making this attempt have the desired result, there were way too many complications that occurred. If it wasn't technical difficulties with my pedalboard, it was issues with my MIDI or speakers, and if it wasn't dealing with delays by those three objects, it was the never-ending hassle of going on a safari for chord combinations that could pair well with my tenor range. Honestly, I don't know why, but for some unexplainable reason, I can sing OK to pre-existing songs, but when it comes to formulating sounds to sing to, my vocal strength diminishes, regardless of what key I'm tuned in. So, yeah, simply put, I'm not at the top-notch level that other artist are, but thankfully, my inability to sing or play instruments at a pro caliber doesn't hinder me from causing my heartfelt attempts to be heard/seen! I know I'm not a full star like other talents, but I'd like to be given the chance to be accepted for who I am, nonetheless.
Ever since I was a little kid, I always had a pure desire to create into this reality; A1 technology teams with me to bring that honest dream into a tremendous fruition. I am heart and flesh, which has been interwoven with spirit and computer: a special/revolutionary trinity. Along with bringing my sincere imaginings into existence, I also hope that I can be an evocative expressionist – not the art movement, but rather, one who creatively expresses the spiraling depth of emotions for those who can't express their own. That means I want to showcase all the intricate feelings, which one could ever experience: light, dark, the grand duality of it all. The way one engages in other medias like TV shows, movies, theater plays, books/comics, or video games for a portal to another life, that's what I want my Lyrical Stories to portray: an immersive and expanding narrative filled world, which anyone can relate to and enter. LS are a purposeful/musical novel, which can either be journeyed into for a storied experience, or ones which can act as soundtracks to what we feel.
All Lyrical Story products sold on my store's listings are based on the descriptions given in my Lyrical Stories. My inventive/evocative mind is the transcendent paintbrush; my modern photo editor and futuristic generator are the prolific canvas! Ranging from Unisex Pro Style Snapback Hats, Unisex Embroidered Beanies, Unisex Staple T-Shirts, Unisex Garment-Dyed Tank Tops, Unisex Premium Sweatshirts, Unisex Crewneck Heavy Blend Sweatshirts, Unisex Heavy Blend Hoodies, Unisex All-Over Print Athletic Long Shorts, Men's High Top Canvas Shoes, Women's High Top Canvas Shoes, Tough Case for Samsung, and Tough Case for iPhone, there are a plethora of unique products, and they come in all sorts of sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL, etc. As time goes by, even more outfit variations will be added too, including my earliest designs/edited photographs from 2016, and other accessories as well! Each artistic image is formatted at 300+ DPI (the sharpest quality for print)! In addition to these imaginative and stylish listings, my first cross-genre alum: Transpire (Initial Edition / Parallel Edition Rock-Verse, Punk-Verse, Emo-Verse, Metal-Verse, and Hip-hop/Rap-Verse) is out now; you can freely listen to the first tremendous chapter of my LS, which is available to hear on my YouTube, Spotify, and other music streaming platforms, or you can buy a single for $0.97 (a fun nod to my birth year) or purchase the full album for $14.97 through my website if you'd like to own a copy without unexpected ads! On top of that, I'm also selling my unique musical instrument characters, which I began making on February 3rd, 2022!

Circling back to the merch, when it comes to the colors of my one-of-a-kind products, there are 2 great color options to choose from! OK, so with all that written (because none of it was actually said, it was typed), if you love new music, new stories told through new music, and new creative apparel, than look no further than TylerRaphaelGerena.com!
