AboutSinger-songwriter Tyrone Wells masterfully blends pop, soul, and rock infusing each song with energy and passion. Listening to Tyrone with your eyes closed, you'd think you were listening to a legendary soul-singer - which is in stark contrast to this tall, skinny white boy (Not to mention his name is Tyrone).

Tyrone's emotion and charisma have captivated audiences throughout the west coast in venues such as the House of Blues, Galaxy Theater, and The El Rey Theatre. He performed on the main stage at the 2006 NACA (Nat. Assoc. of Campus Activities) convention and set the record for the HISTORY of the convention with 152 offers. Tyrone booked over 90 dates from August 2006 through March 2007.

Tyrone's independent movement continues to win avid supporters, having sold over 25,000 of his self-distributed records through live performances.

In 2004, Tyrone won the award for the Orange County Music Awards Best Male Artist, as well as the 2004 UCLA Spring Sing Best Overall & Best Solo Artist awards. Also in 2004, Tyrone had 15 TV placements in shows including One Tree Hill (WB), "Numb3rs" (CBS), "Ghost Whisperer" (CBS), "Summerland" (WB), Rescue Me (F/X), North Shore (FOX), The Mountain (WB) and "The Bedford Diaries" (WB).

Tyrone Wells has a classic and powerful voice that can fill a thousand seat capacity room while singing A Cappella, which is demonstrated in his emotional set closer When All is Said and Done. To quote Tyrone, "Music is the mistress and sometimes obsession that keeps me up at night, pleading for some beautiful resolution."

Tyrone Wells just released his third independent album, Hold On, with a sold-out release party at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. The new album is a creative blend of his singer-songwriter roots, soul and rock.

Hold On, Snapshot and close: live at McClain's are available in stores, or online at www.cdbaby.com/tyronewells and iTunes.

The son of a preacher and the youngest of five children, Tyrone Wells was only allowed to listen to gospel music growing up in Spokane, WA, although he was eventually also exposed to artists like Stevie Wonder and James Taylor. As a teenager he moved to Fullerton, CA, to attend college, and soon joined the Christian rock band Skypark as the lead singer. After releasing a few records with the group, including two on Epic, Wells decided to leave Skypark and work on his solo material. He began performing at a local Fullerton coffeehouse, McClain's, on a weekly basis, and soon was selling his self-released albums at these shows. In 2003, after signing to True America, Wells issued Snapshot, and in 2005 Close: Live at McClain's came out. That same year the singer/songwriter set about on working on his next full-length, Hold On, revisiting songs he had been writing during the past two years. Wells' big break came in 2006 after performing at the National Association of Campus Activities Convention in Boston, when he was approached by several major labels. Eventually he chose Universal Republic, which sent Hold On to stores in early 2007, following it with Remain in 2009.
