Benefit Concert - Take Back The Night

Hello! My name is Collin Lyles. I'm a self-taught teenage musican and producer, currently based in Boise, ID. Currently, I'm on a journey to find Purpose, Equilibrium, and self-improvement. 

I started out in music during the COVID pandemic when I heard a song from a TV I was watching. After I finally figured out what the song was, I tried to learn it on the piano, drawing piano graphs on a piece of paper just so I could remember what sequence to play what notes. Driven by this sudden love for music, I joined my middle school orchestra where I picked up guitar. I learned how to compose and orchestrate music using Musescore and had the chance to perform a couple of my songs throughout 8th grade, Including a piece titled "Vengeance Ends Now" at the West Ada Middle School Orchestra Festival. Later I would then experiment with Neo-Classical realm that lead to a silent release, A Day to Ourselves (which is no longer available)

In high school, I adopted the persona of The Traveler. During this time, I struggled with self-doubt the sense of being lost. There were feelings that collapsed together with a personal event causing me to completley fall apart. Music saved me in a way, guiding me through dark times and ultimately inspiring the official debut album, Risking My Life, For The Sake of My Life. The search for revival and a path to rewrite my life continued with the release of my EP, Balance. Now, a new album is on the rise that explores the direction I want to take, offering a glimpse into my life story through an ethereal, folk-inspired lens. That album is titled Wayfinder, and there is a lot to talk about. i get the sense this is still only the beginning of the story.
