JOHN TYLER

John Tyler is a 24-year-old powerhouse—an Emmy Award-winning film composer, visionary artist, and dynamic music and event producer who is reshaping the creative landscape. As the founder of the groundbreaking Love Groove Festival and Love Groove Entertainment, John has established himself as a leading force in the industry. With a rich discography featuring one acclaimed album and four mixtapes, he’s currently gearing up to captivate audiences with his revolutionary Audiovision show, “If I Could Weep, It Would Hail”, set to launch alongside a companion book series in the fall of 2024.

Recognized as Baltimore’s “Game Changer” in music and curation by Baltimore Magazine and the Black Arts District, John’s influence reaches far and wide. His talents have been celebrated in NUNAR Mag, Family First Mag, BmoreArt, and Charm TV. His compositions have scored commercials for top brands like the Orioles, Under Armour, and Visit Baltimore, showcasing his extraordinary versatility. In May 2023, John took his artistry to new heights with the Baltimore Orioles, where he performed pre-game shows, curated National Anthem performers, and created a season-long playlist spotlighting Baltimore artists.

In a sweet twist, John partnered with the iconic Charmery to create an ice cream flavor inspired by his fan favorite single “Sugar & Spice,” which became the Charmery’s fourth best-seller of 2023. In June 2024, John’s star soared even higher when he earned an Emmy for his composition in the “You Can’t Clip These Wings” Baltimore Orioles commercial.

John’s entrepreneurial journey began in 2017, while still in high school, when he founded the Love Groove Festival. This event, dedicated to uplifting young artists aged 16-30, has grown into a major cultural institution, featuring educational initiatives and securing sponsorships from T. Rowe Price, Johns Hopkins, PNC Bank, and the Mellon Foundation. The festival has supported over 500 emerging artists, partnered with 100 small businesses, and collaborated with 14 schools, cementing John’s role as a champion for Baltimore’s creative community.

Expanding on this success, John launched Love Groove Entertainment, a full-service event planning powerhouse. The company has curated major festivals, including the Nike & Orioles Block Party, PNC Bank Black History Month Showcase, Juneteenth Rhythm Libération Festival, and Baltimore by Baltimore Festival. Love Groove Entertainment also provides live band services for touring artists, private events, and offers a roster of performing artists, filmmakers, and visual artists for diverse occasions, from festivals to conferences.

Looking ahead, John Tyler is setting his sights on touring the world, scoring major films, expanding his collaborative network, mentoring the next generation of creatives, and ultimately achieving the coveted EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). With his relentless drive and unparalleled talent, John Tyler is not just a star—he’s a trailblazer, lighting the way for Baltimore’s creative future and beyond.
