Ty Wenston Myers (born July 12, 2007) is an American country music singer-songwriter and guitarist who has rapidly gained prominence for blending country, blues, and soul influences. He debuted with viral singles in 2024 which were "Thought It Was Love" and "Ends of the Earth" and released his first studio album, The Select , in 2025.

Early life

Myers was born and raised just outside of Austin, Texas, growing up on his family's cattle ranch, which has been in his family for over six generations. [3] [4] His father, a local singer-songwriter, introduced him to music, and Myers began playing guitar around age seven and writing songs by age eight. [5] [6]

Myers is the nephew of Dean Sams of Lonestar and related to George Strait's longtime piano player and Ace in the Hole Band member Ronnie Huckaby. [7]

Career

Myers went viral on TikTok for sharing his music and the song "The Tie That Binds". Myers's mother, Karysa Myers, created his TikTok profile after he suffered a football injury in high school. Myers later signed with Starstruck Management and Columbia Records. [8] The Select , his debut album, was released digitally on January 24, 2025, with a limited-edition signed 10-song CD and vinyl editions following on March 28, 2025. [5] Myers released the project's lead single "Ends of the Earth" to country radio on April 28, and it became his first song to chart on both the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts, reaching number 20, and on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. [9] [10] A deluxe edition of The Select was released later that year, adding two new songs and acoustic renditions of three fan favorites, including "Firefly" and "Worry Is a Sickness". [11]

On January 14, 2026, Myers announced his second album, Heavy on the Soul, would be released on March 27. It was recorded at the FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and was produced by Brandon Hood. [12] From March to August 2026, he will open up for Luke Combs on his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour. [13]

Artistry

Myers fuses classic country storytelling with bluesy riffs and soulful vocals. He cites a diverse array of influences: country luminaries like George Strait; soul and R&B figures like Otis Redding; blues artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan; and contemporary inspiration from John Mayer. [4] [5]
