Tektrik

My name is Tyler Ford. I’m a Canadian electronic music producer from Calgary, Alberta. I like long walks in the forest and throwing rocks at other rocks. I have a background in blues guitar, but recently have committed to EDM production, and I’m loving where it has taken me so far. My influences include <a href="spotify:artist:2CIMQHirSU0MQqyYHq0eOx" data-name="deadmau5">deadmau5</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6VOifgR9dl65Y4McyK5vr3" data-name="Nit Grit">Nit Grit</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4iVhFmG8YCCEHANGeUUS9q" data-name="Pretty Lights">Pretty Lights</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:30DZgkaEYdezg2QMrMgrnm" data-name="Beats Antique">Beats Antique</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:45eNHdiiabvmbp4erw26rg" data-name="ILLENIUM">ILLENIUM</a>, David Shoults, <a href="spotify:artist:0WwSkZ7LtFUFjGjMZBMt6T" data-name="Dire Straits">Dire Straits</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5fsDcuclIe8ZiBD5P787K1" data-name="Stevie Ray Vaughan">Stevie Ray Vaughan</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0YC192cP3KPCRWx8zr8MfZ" data-name="Hans Zimmer">Hans Zimmer</a>, and whatever’s stuck in my head in the shower that day.

I learned guitar at the age of 12 and quickly became a sensation in Korea. The fame was too much to handle, so I turned my attention to the electronic dance music arena. I began toying with the premade loops in garageband on my first mac at the age of 15. During those days I was known as “The Daze Over” which I now refer to as my “Daze Phase.” After a lengthy battle with a number of duck sized horses, I arrived at the wonder that is Ableton. I rebranded myself as “Tektrik” and haven’t looked back. Come along on a journey with me, lets make dreams come true. Specifically my dreams.

EDM is such a cathartic experience no matter where you come from, and I want to be a part of that experience. Thanks for reading this weird monologue! Now do us both a favor and get your butt over to that love button.
