Tyler Spencer
I come from a generational family history of musicians and engineers and have spent the majority of my life seeking further musical enlightenment that has led me into several different fields of study and performance.
During middle school I performed French horn and have credit on the Disney film, 'The Little Matchgirl', and moved into jazz guitar. Throughout high school I branched out into rock music and began performing local shows around Southern California, where I gained hands-on experience with live gear.
As a young adult, I began working in local studios and building my own home studio to experiment with production and offer services to clients on my own time and with my own gear.
Naturally, with all of these experiences, I was exposed to and gained experience with a variety of equipment and processes that were then solidified in the future when I graduated from Full Sail with a science degree in Recording Arts.
Since then, I have continued my own professional freelance work and created product orders and researching the needs of a number of musical instruction programs across the country. My goal at Sweetwater is to now fulfill the needs of my customers.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.
