Tyler Smith

With a name like Tyler Aero Smith it's no wonder that he grew up so passionate about the music industry. From an early age Tyler can remember his father blasting tunes from some of his favorite bands such as; Pearl Jam, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Ramones and of course Tyler's namesake- Aerosmith, just to name a few. Submersed in the Canadian punk scene it was no surprise when Tyler started volunteering at CFRU with a show simply titled, "The punk show." Not wanting to limit himself, he changed the name of his show to "Freak scene" (named after the Dinosaur Jr. song) and began expanding his playlists to include a much larger mix of all things that rock. A music geek to the bone Tyler comes to NXEW to try his hand at writing about music for the first time.
