Karmyn Tyler: A sparkling diva in the making. A world-class singer!

Karmyn's kindergarten teacher recognized Karmyn's angelic voice as something special when she sang in a Christmas play. At age eight, Karmyn told her mom that she wanted to be a professional singer and actress on Broadway. She would sing at any social function and her cliché was "I'm cute, I can sing on pitch and I'm free". Karmyn won her first national pageant title and talent award at age 11 as Miss Texas National Pre-Teen. At 19, she entered the Miss Louisiana Pageant and won a preliminary swimsuit and talent award as well as the title of Miss Louisiana. She represented Louisiana at Miss America 1996 and won a Bert Parks Talent Award. Karmyn's acting and musical background is the foundation of her ability to transport you from the seduction of moonlight to the heated swing of a Saturday night. Karmyn’s album entitled Karmyn Tyler shows her versatility and vocal range as she pours her heart and soul into this project and is all genres of music.  From Summertime to Wait and See…big band, swing, smooth jazz, torch music and adult contemporary. She is a professional actress/singer and has done numerous regional and national commercials and co-starred in the movie Alabama Love Story with country music artist Mark Colley and in the TV Lifetime Movie Inspector Mom  with Danica McKellar from the Wonder Years.  Karmyn appeared on Walker, Texas Ranger and Just Shoot Me and Ed McMahon’s Star Search.   She has several theatre performances to her credit and was Guenivere in Camelot and Sister Mary Leo in Nunsense.  

Karmyn has recently been cast in a Stephen Sondheim musical production at the Strand Theatre in Shreveport, Louisiana. She is a member of Actors Equity (AEA), Hollywood chapter of Screen Actors Guild (SAG), National Academy of Arts and Science (The Grammys), National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS), and Lifetime member of Sigma Alpha Iota Music Fraternity and listed on IMDB.  Karmyn has Fine Arts degrees in Music and Drama and a BAAS from Texas A&M. Karmyn currently travels as a professional vocalist and actor and recently signed with a Los Angeles agent.

Ms. Karmyn Tyler  is listed in the World Who's Who in Jazz, Cabaret, Music and Entertainment.

 

 

 

Press quotes: Bill Bauer from HB&B Music wrote: “From Opera to Linda Eder traces Karmyn’s feelings for music and reveals an extraordinary talent as a singer-personality. Her first professionally produced recorded album is a knockout CD! Not kidding! Old Standards and new Broadway pop with some hot new, up-dated and unique arrangements by Chris Meeks from TM Century. It’s “as good as it gets in the style,” better than Ronstadt’s “What’s New;” (though I may be prejudiced, it will bear out if you buy Karmyn’s CD) with outstanding vocal control, plus some truly unbelievable belt highlights!” Karl H. Stober wrote in JazzReview.com: “Karmyn is an incredibly talented singer with a wide range and top notes that ring out clear as a bell. Karmyn has an exceptional voice and you will not want to miss this wonderfully talented singer and the arrangements of Chris Meeks on this awesome CD.

The songs Guilty, The Stars Will Remember So Will I, Make Believe and the medley of "I Fall In Love Too Easily and I'm in the Mood For Love" with the style of Rosemary Clooney, are love songs that will charm and captivate you. "Too Late Now" from the movie "Royal Wedding" will astound you with the jazz arrangement of this song! Finally the Dancing in the Dark/Night and Day Medley is unique as the first female I have heard do this song.”

Karmyn Tyler, her most recent CD, a rich blend of romance, vocal virtuosity and original improvisation. Two thumbs up!
