About The Artist
Tyson Koopman — Ty K. Beats
Tyson Koopman grew up in Milwaukie, Oregon since the day he was born! He is 24 years old, pursuing a degree in Computer Science and in his free time, makes music and plays videogames competitively!
Ever since Tyson was a young lad, he's been into the idea of making music. His mom plays the piano as well as the flute, and once she realized his passion for music, started signing him up for guitar and vocal lessons. By the time he reached high school, he became fairly knowledgeable with a couple of instruments like, the guitar, the ukulele, and even a little bit of the piano. He enjoyed writing songs and playing them for his classmates and close friends. He had quite a spark, just waiting to ignite.
Even though Tyson had a passion for music, he wanted to focus more on his school and personal life. He began to forget about what mattered most. He was growing up too fast, moving out at 18 years old before graduating high school, full time in college, and full time working. He quickly began to burn out. By the end of 2019, he dropped out of college, pushing away the people closest to him, and making all the wrong choices. Then the pandemic struck, and he became stuck.
Years passed as Tyson hopped from job to job just to try and make ends meet. Every time someone got close to him, he found a way to push them away. He tried to get back into music, even teaching himself how to use the iPhone app GarageBand, but every song he wrote, and every note he played, never sounded quite right. Pages on pages of lyrics, hours and hours of composing, yet nothing came of it. He became a lost soul in the sea of life. He needed to make a change, before it was too late.
After five years' worth of playing the same broken record, something happened to Tyson that made him say enough is enough. Moving back with his mom and starting a new chapter of life, he found a well-suited job to ease himself back into school and create a more structured lifestyle. This is when him and his music started coming back to life...
