Solo Act

I perform keyboard covers of popular music from a wide variety of genres, styles, and time periods. Instrumental covers are my specialty, but I can play and sing if desired. Since 2015, I’ve played regularly for restaurants, wine bars, parties, banquets, corporate events, nursing homes, fundraisers, art festivals, and more.

In addition to my regular act, I work with clients to plan and perform music for weddings, funerals, and Catholic Masses. I’ve planned and directed music for hundreds of Catholic liturgies, including during Christmas and Holy Week, both by myself and with a choir and other musicians.

If you have a piano or keyboard available, I can use that. Otherwise, all I need is access to a nearby power outlet and a small space to set up in, and I provide the rest. I have my own instruments, amplifier, microphone (if needed), surge protector, and stands.

If you’d like to book me for your event, please message me about it using the contact form below, and I’ll get in touch with you promptly to work out the details and get you a quote.

Bandmate

I’ve sang and played piano, synthesizer, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, and melodica in praise and worship bands, an indie rock band, a pop cover band at the seminary I studied at, a jazz combo (also seminary), an 80’s cover band, and a rock-folk-jazz fusion band.

I am not currently looking to join any bands full-time, but if you need a keyboardist, rhythm guitarist, or singer as a fill-in or for a one-time gig, feel free to reach out.

Songwriter

I write original music and lyrics for songs and albums in a variety of genres, from piano waltzes to rock tracks and EDM. I’ve released one album with a band and one solo single, and I’m currently writing songs for three different concept albums.

I offer custom songwriting services if you need a song for a special occasion, or if you’re looking for someone to help flesh out a song based on your existing lyrics or arrangement. Just send me a message with what you have in mind, and I’ll be happy to discuss it with you.

Producer

I have extensive experience recording songs using a variety of Digital Audio Workstations and VST plugins, including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Reaper, GarageBand, Serum, and KORG Gadget. I started off making electronic music in GarageBand in middle school, then transitioned over to Ableton in high school. In college, after forming the indie rock band Khan Queso, I recorded and produced our debut album "Khan You Hear Us Now?”. Since then, I have continued to expand my home studio and write and record vocals and instrument parts for rock songs. I have also recorded and produced piano and vocal tracks for use at weddings and special occasions on request.

If you need help working with or producing audio recordings, contact me and we can determine which approach best fits your needs.

    The Best!

    Wow! We booked Tyler for an NYE dinner event at our restaurant. His set list was absolutely spot on for the vibe we were aiming to create. We’ve booked artists in the past who can’t seem to stay within our preferred volume range, but this was never an issue with Tyler. Throughout the night, we had multiple guests and staff relay how much they enjoyed Tyler’s musical talent and song choices. Finally, Tyler was the epitome of professionalism from start to finish, and always responsive when it came to my messages leading up to the event. I highly recommend Tyler Acosta for any live music event! We will definitely be booking him again.
