Tyler grew up in Orange County, Calif. where, as a kid, he was in and
out of hospitals constantly due to a rare heart condition he was
diagnosed with at birth. Music was his escape, and his outlet from the
frustration of frequent exposure to wave after wave of painful
experimental procedures. However, despite his low heart function, he
managed to live a fairly normal childhood. He began piano lessons at
the age of seven, and his father taught him the guitar, although, it
wasn't until high school that he realized his potential for composition
as a career path. While taking an introductory music theory course,
Tyler discovered his love for creating music, and stringing together
chords and cadences like puzzle pieces fitting together to form an
elaborate work of art. Gilbert earned his B.A. in Music Composition
from the California Institute of the Arts (2012). While studying there,
he composed the score to the original musical "RUINS" (2010) which had
its debut on the CalArts stage in Valencia, Calif. and was met with
rave reviews. After college, Gilbert went on to score a number of web
series such as "Zombie Apocalypse 101," "Tales of the Sword," and
"Cannibal Clown Killer." He has also written music for many live
theater productions at UCLA including, "Life of Galileo," "Offending
the Audience," "Assume the Worst," and "Mauser," the latter of which
during the show's California debut. In addition, Gilbert has scored
independent feature films such as "OMG...We're In A Horror Movie." It's
been said of him that he brings a high level of creativity and
professionalism to every project that he works on.
Gilbert has been a loyal supporter and contributor of the Make-A-Wish Foundation for many years, and has been invited to perform his compositions at several of their hosted charity events.
Gilbert continues to compose and collaborate with independent artists on projects involving film, animation, and live theater.
