My name is Ty Gormanous, and I make electronic and synth-pop music under the name Ty. For a long time, making music was a big struggle for me. I had a hard time figuring out my actual sound and kept doubting my own ideas. Eventually, I realized I needed to stop hiding behind messy effects and just make clear, honest music. Getting to that point took a lot of frustration and trial and error, but it pushed me to grow up and finally trust my own music.

Finishing my projects Somewhere Appalachia and soon to be finished Portrait of god really showed me how much I have changed. Working on those tracks forced me to face my creative roadblocks instead of giving up. Living and writing here in Silverdale, Washington, I am finally making music that sounds like me. I am still learning, but I am proud of the dark, clean electronic sound I am creating now because it shows exactly who I am and how far I have come. -Ty Gormanous
