Introduce yourself & how you started within the music industry?

Ty March, I used to play drums in a heavy metal band for the past 2 years touring the US, that's what initially got me into the music industry.

What made you go from being a drummer for a quite popular metal band to becoming a solo Country Musician?

I starting falling out of metal the deeper I got into the scene and realized that this is not where I'm meant to be. I grew up on country music as a kid, while I was on tour all these great country song ideas started randomly popping in my head and I'd voice memo them on my phone every time I thought of a new one. Over time I realized that this was happening for a reason and that country music is my calling.

What made you change your genre of music from Metal to Country?

My heart wasn't in heavy music anymore. I rebelled from country music for awhile because thats all my parents played in the car when I was a kid. I guess you could say that I went back to my roots on this one.

Was the decision to quit Capture The Crown & follow your dreams to be a country musician, hard to do?

No, I was ready to follow my heart.

You recently released your first full length cover song in a music video. You covered Luke Bryan’s “Crash My Party”, What made you decide to cover this song?

My friend Eli suggested it, I already knew all the words and knew It would be something that I could do on the fly. The acoustic video was a last minute idea.
