Tyler Kaiser was born in Duluth, Minnesota and has composed, performed, taught and lived in this area longer than some would consider prudent. Why? He doesn't want the alternative of living in a crime-ridden, overpopulated, expensive to live in metropolis just because that is supposedly what successful musicians are supposed to do (even though some metropolises are quite nice), and, this area his home--you know, where family and friends live. These people are also often the people for whom he composes, teaches and performs.
