Steve Tyrell is an American jazz vocalist hailing from Texas with a distinctive gravelly voice that resonates with the warmth of classic American standards and pop classics. His career began behind the scenes in the 1960s as a producer and songwriter, working with legends such as Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and contributing to the success of numerous artists by helping to craft their hits. However, it was his foray into the role of the singer in the late 1990s that brought him to widespread public attention.

Tyrell’s breakthrough as a singer came when his renditions of classic pop songs were featured in the film "Father of the Bride," leading to a successful recording career. He has since carved out a niche with his interpretations of jazz standards, particularly those from the Great American Songbook, and his signature velvet-husk voice has garnered him a loyal fan base. His album "Back to Bacharach," where he paid tribute to the work of Burt Bacharach, is one of his most notable projects. Steve Tyrell continues to release albums that reflect his passion for music with deep roots in jazz and classic pop, including tributes to legendary musicians such as Ray Charles and others, exemplified by his albums like "Shades of Ray: The Songs of Ray Charles." His work ensures that the timeless melodies of past generations are given new life and introduced to contemporary audiences through his heartfelt performances.
