Tyson Washington, born on March 20, 2004, is a combination of great enthusiasm and sensitivity both as a musician and as a composer. He has been grounded with both classical and electronic dance music since his earliest childhood, started self-teaching piano at the age of 10 years, which eventually became a part of his lifetime journey into composition and performance.

Tysons works include more than 50 original compositions and over 10 productions, in which many different styles, from classic to contemporary, are combined. In November 2021 and 2022, Tyson was placed as a finalist in the National Young Composers Challenge-early recognition of his budding talent.

February 2023 represented a major milestone in Tyson's career when he won the CSO Young Composers Competition. His piece entitled Terry's Trial was premiered by the Carrollton Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Terry Lowry in Carrollton, GA. This followed with the prestigious J.S. Bach Scholarship that Tyson received in May 2023 from Elijah Parrish.

In October 2024, Tyson will expand his creative repertoire by scoring the short film Brise, directed by Cassitie Bates. This venture into the world of film scoring makes him a versatile composer and will prove his adaptability with his music to different storytelling formats.

Tyson currently studies Music Composition at the University of West Georgia with a perfect pitch. His abilities with the clarinet and piano create a distinctive sound and further his expressiveness.

Having been involved with running a YouTube channel since 2016 and using photo editing tools like Pixlr, Tyson understands audience engagement and visual storytelling quite well. His extended time spent in this virtual world, combined with his experiences and Asperger's syndrome, informs his distinctive artistic voice-makes his work so innovatively deep and personal.
