About Ty
High energy distorted lead guitar, the groove and beat of slap bass, and songwriting with lots of soul: this is the sound of Nevis. Based in Seattle, Ty Tate writes, performs, records, and produces all Nevis tracks himself.
Ty has been a performing musician for years, leading punk, rock, and funk
bands and touring all over the United States. He had been playing several
instruments for only two years when he was accepted into the distinguished
Virginia Governor's Magnet School for the Arts, which jump started his
music career. Ty has also worked as an on-call musician at several high
profile clubs, and has also performed as a studio musician, looking for
any opportunity to hone his craft and delve more deeply into racket making.
