Calvin Stemley

Tyler is a Pittsburgh native performer, raised in a family of many talents especially singing and performing. She began singing at 6 when she realized her favorite movies and tv shows made her happy by participating in song. Years later she sang beside her mother in church, Mt. Olive Baptist Church. She then followed her passions into high school and beyond, attending Pittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA 9-12) as a musical theater major, completing an associate’s degree in 2015. She then completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual & Performing Arts/ Voice in 2020 from The University of Pittsburgh. She has been blessed with the opportunity to work with such creative and dedicated mentors and peers over the years. In her future she plans to pursue a career in teaching music and vocal performance. Her post-baccalaureate achievements include being a former member of The Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh, singing behind Andrea Bocelli at PPG Paints, a singer of the American National Anthem for Chelsa Wagner County Controller, and more. She’s also appeared as a lead actress in Alumni Theater Company performances of HAIR, RENT, and AIDA at The New Hazlett Theater on Pittsburgh’s Northside. Her repertoire consists of an array of genres including R&B, NeoSoul, and multicultural pieces that involve learning other languages like (German, French, Italian, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, etc.), Classical, Opera, Jazz, and Musical Theater. Tyler is so grateful to be a member of Mixxtape for almost 1 year and for the opportunity to continue exposing her desire of expressing passion through music.
