Tyler Rifley

Tyler Rifley is a self-produced country artist based in Anchorage, Alaska. A true independent musician, he not only writes and performs his own songs but also produces, engineers and records most of his own music. As a co-owner of Midnight Sound Studio, Tyler has built a space where he brings his sound to life with a raw, heartfelt authenticity that resonates with his audience. His journey has been anything but conventional. Entering foster care at the age of five, he spent much of his childhood in and out of hospitals and treatment centers, often for years at a time. The system remained a part of his life well into adulthood, shaping a path filled with challenges most never face. But through it all, music was his escape—and his way forward. Now, as his career gains momentum, Tyler is earning recognition for his talent and dedication. His upcoming release features contributions from respected industry musicians with experience working alongside some of the biggest names in country and pop music—an exciting step forward in his journey. But more than just chasing a dream, he’s proving something: where you start doesn’t define where you’re headed. The birth of his son changed everything. Fatherhood gave him a new sense of purpose, a reason to keep pushing forward no matter what obstacles come his way. His music reflects that journey—the highs, the lows, and the unwavering resilience that has carried him through it all.
