On the last day of our adventure at Sunset Sessions, Tyler Hilton stopped by to speak with us. While there he played a beautiful song called ‘Sunset Boulevard’. This song will appear on a new EP coming out soon called Ladies and Gentlemen.

Tyler grew up in Palm Springs amongst a musical family. He says that playing guitar was important to him from an early age, partly because the summer desert heat was so brutal that going outside to play was impossible. Tyler has what could be best described as an effortless approach to singing and playing. By looking at him, you could swear what he’s doing is easy. But of course we all know that’s not the case.

Social awareness and philanthropy are also important to Tyler. He started his own nonprofit a few years back. It’s called TH Books For Kids and it’s mission is to promote reading and provide children with books.
