Tyler Carroll, better known by his stage name “Muzix,” is an artist reshaping the landscape of the music industry while paving a unique path as a producer, songwriter, and audio engineer.
Humble Beginnings
Born in Atlanta and raised in Lithonia, GA, Carroll’s musical journey began in the most humble of settings—by secretly teaching himself to play his father’s guitar. This spark ignited a passion for music, leading him to write his first songs and perform at significant milestones, including his high school graduation and a Morehouse College senior pinning ceremony.
Overcoming Obstacles
Despite facing significant challenges, including financial hardships that forced him to leave college, Carroll persevered. After a year and a half, he returned to Morehouse, where he completed his degree in physics and math. This academic foundation enriched his perspective and opened doors to new opportunities in the music industry and beyond.
Navigating the complexities of the music business, overcoming creative blocks, and managing the responsibilities of establishing ‘The Patch Publishing, LLC’ has tested his resilience and time management skills. Despite the doubts and setbacks, these challenges have fueled his determination and growth as an artist and entrepreneur.
“If the mountain was smooth, you wouldn’t be able to climb it,” he reflects, emphasizing the importance of overcoming challenges to find personal fulfillment.
Musician, Entrepreneur and Engineer
In January, Carrp;; officially launched The Patch Publishing, LLC—a venture designed to publish and promote his work while supporting fellow musicians and artists. His vision for the company includes creating a conglomerate that nurtures diverse talent and creativity within the industry.
One of the defining moments in Carroll’s career came when he performed at the iconic ‘Whiskey A Go Go’ in West Hollywood. Opening for a mainstream artist at such a legendary venue was not just a dream come true. It was a profound milestone that showcased his talent and dedication. Traveling to California allowed him to expand his horizons, enriching his artistic journey and solidifying his commitment to music.
Carroll credits his time at Morehouse with being transformative. He says it helped him build a sense of community and discover his true self. While he didn’t major in music, the rich cultural environment encouraged him to pursue his passion alongside his studies, ultimately leading to a successful career as a nuclear engineer. This dual path has provided him with the stability necessary to pursue his dreams in music wholeheartedly.
What’s Next for Muzik
Looking ahead, Muzix is set to release his highly anticipated album, ‘HOUZEPARTY,’ which promises to showcase his evolution as an artist unbound by genre. With The Patch Publishing, LLC supporting his vision, Carroll is ready to take the music world by storm.
Carroll offers advice to those starting their own journeys in any passion: “Keep going. If this is something you’re truly passionate about, don’t stop at the first few bumps in the road.”
