From portraying Elvis Presley in Walk the Line and garnering a cult following as

musician Chris Keller on the CW hit TV show One Tree Hill, to writing and touring with

the likes of Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum and Joe Cocker, Tyler Hilton has enjoyed an

award-winning career spanning music, film and television.

Born and raised in California, Tyler grew up in a family of talented musicians who had

played for acts like Fleetwood Mac, George Harrison and Donovan. Performing with his

family from an early age, Hilton became serious about songwriting at 14. At 15, he

called into L.A.’s KLOS radio station to win concert tickets and ended up wowing the

hosts with an on-air performance. The station made him a regular guest and helped

launch his debut record, which caught the ear of Warner Bros. Records, who signed him

to record his second album The Tracks of Tyler Hilton, earning him two Top 40 singles.
