Picture of Tyler and Alex in 2013
|
A few weeks back, we were given a handout by our media techer which regarded YouTube music artists and how they are becoming increasingly popular and our gaining more subscribers than musicians such as One Direction, Katy Perry and Beyonce. I decided to look into this as like many others, I have a taste preference with music and I have been listening to some of the YouTube artists for quite a while now. Two examples of artists I have been following are Tyler Ward and Alex G. I first found out about these two when I watched a collaboration of a song that Tyler wrote back in 2012. Tyler was already a popular YouTube singer at the time with around 700,000 subscribers but Alex was relatively new to the whole music scene after being helped and mentored by Tyler. As a result of her inexperience, she only had around 15,000 subscribers.
Since then, both of their channels have grown rapidly and this has been shown through Tyler hitting 1,500,000 Subscribers and Alex has amounted to 1,100,000 Subscribers. The pair have continued to produce music together and have had big success with covers of songs such as Can't Hold Us by Macklemore and Timber by Pitbull ft Kesha. Tyler has recently signed a contract with Sony Germany as that is were the biggest part of his fanbase is situated whereas Alex has been focusing on releasing her debut album which should be out in the next month or two. Tyler has also recently been helping other YouTubers with their careers and has signed them to his own personal record label. Artists include Two Worlds, Black Prez and Eppic.
Below is a clip of one of their most successful cover duets and their individual websites.
