Rapper Tyler K Uncovers Incredible New Album SPECTRUM
Tyler K, a remarkable 17-year-old rapper with autism, is breaking barriers and inspiring audiences with the release of his new album, SPECTRUM. Embracing his faith and the incredible journey that led him to this point, Tyler is using his platform to challenge stereotypes and champion inclusivity.
Born in a small city near Xi’an, China, Tyler was left by his biological family and raised in the US after being adopted. Despite facing numerous challenges, including the loss of loved ones and multiple surgeries, Tyler’s charismatic persona and unwavering character have remained as vibrant as ever.
Hailing from the thriving music scene of Jacksonville, Florida, Tyler draws inspiration from local artists such as Yungeen Ace and Foolio, while also admiring the genre-bending prowess of Tyler, The Creator. Having explored various musical genres, from hip-hop to pop and even orchestral pieces, Tyler K is carving his own unique path in the industry.
As an independent artist, Tyler aims to become a global inspiration, using his personal story as a means to connect with people worldwide. His latest album, SPECTRUM, takes its name from his autism, a condition he hopes to shed light on and redefine through his music.
Reflecting on the album, Tyler says, “Throughout my life I’ve been faced with many challenges, including autism. I want people to know that I can fit in with the best even through the diagnosis. The stigma around it needs to be changed, and through this album I can do that.”
SPECTRUM is led by new single “Run With Me” and showcases Tyler’s immense talent, offering listeners a captivating blend of thought-provoking lyrics, infectious beats and melodic hooks. The album is a testament to his determination to break boundaries and prove that talent knows no limitations. SPECTRUM is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://lnk.to/TylerKSPECTRUM.

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
