Artist Biography
TJ Doyle believes in harboring a deep connection with the natural world by listening, observing and living at peace with your surroundings. He draws inspiration from nature, utilizing his passion for the environment to infuse his music and lyrics with a unique sense of purpose and direction.
TJ Doyle’s musical aspirations began early in life. As a child, he was instructed in the fine arts of piano, guitar, and eventually composition. Once he began composing and singing his own vocals, his talents segued into the garage band scene and, eventually, entry in a talent competition. TJ and a friend won top honors, landing them a gig at a local nightclub for the next three years and drawing the attention of local names. After several years touring with bands, he struck out to compose his own musical legacy.
In 2005, TJ began pre-production on his debut album, One True Thing. Recording with Grammy-winning mixer Tom Weir’s “Studio City Sound,” TJ invited Tracy Chapman alums, Rock Deadrick (drums), David Sutton (bass), and Phil Parlapiano to lay down piano, accordion and keyboard tracks alongside Bruce Springsteen guitarist Tim Pierce for multiple tracks. Emphasizing importance on song selection and the conveyance of meaning, TJ envisioned the album leaving its mark as an original on the music circuit.
Four years of dedication, work and passion led to the album’s release in 2009. Fans and new listeners embraced One True Thing’s positive pro-love and pro-earth message. Harnessing his love for nature and strong desire to evoke a sense of urgency to protect our Earth, TJ was inspired to write songs like “Earth Is Crying” and “One True Thing” on his first album, and “Favorite Places” on the upcoming album.
“Nature has taught me that everything is alive and it’s own way conscious,” TJ quotes. “Music is a language that has found it’s way into every culture on Earth and has a common meaning in each one. I think music can lift people into more conscious awareness when they let themselves go with it.”
When not performing or recording, he spends his time mountain biking, walking his dog Casey, and practicing Kundilini Yoga, which he says teaches how to listen and allow ideas and words to emerge for his work. Cultivating space and allowing the music and lyrics to emerge from within, his artistic method is one of true organic form.
TJ’s sophomore album, “On The Horizon,” reaches even deeper into the realms of human experience. In it, he looks for secrets to unlock the world around us and process nature in its entirety. Utilizing the producing talents of Tom Weir and collaborating with lyracist Lynda Levy, TJ is intent on furthering the energetic sounds and messages that have already united his loyal fan base.
Press Release
LOS ANGELES, CA–(Marketwired – Jul 3, 2014) – Fans of Rock’s favorite environmentalist, TJ Doyle have a new reason to celebrate! After a string of live performances on LA’s famous Sunset Strip, the talented artist is set to debut his sophomore album, On The Horizon, on Monday, July 7, 2014, through iTunes, Amazon and other retail outlets, courtesy of Indie label Totem Artists, Inc.!
“I write music for the hearts and minds of my audience and take time to connect with nature,” says TJ. “If we saw our Earth the way we see a friend or loved one, imagine how different that would feel.”
With his band of six and co-producer, Grammy Award-winner Tom Weir of Studio City Sound, TJ has cut a record that exemplifies his unique message backed by hard-hitting blues and rock melodies. Grammy-nominated mixer Bill Smith (Ray Charles, Yes, Jennifer Lopez, John Fogerty) has provided more than 20 years of studio experience to the album mix while final touches were added by Peter Doell of Universal Mastering.
On The Horizon speaks about preserving the Earth. Saving the beauty of nature is something TJ feels has been put on the back burner for many; he hopes to bring light to the situation through his music with the expectation that future generations can appreciate its beauty in the same way he does. Devotees, drawn by TJ’s connection with nature, have been treated to sneak previews of new songs through recent performances at classic venues such as The Mint, The Roxy and Whisky A Go Go.
Since his debut album, One True Thing, which was released in late 2009 and garnered thousands of fans from Internet radio exposure, TJ’s passion is only more evident, especially in his ultra-popular song “Favorite Places” which is being re-released on the new album.
