Tyler Glenn is a singer and keyboardist who was introduced to the pop, rock, alternative, and dance charts as frontman for Neon Trees before embarking on a solo career. A self-taught musician, he spent his formative years in Southern California, where Neon Trees began to take root before Glenn and guitarist Chris Allen relocated to Provo, Utah for Allen's studies. After adding bass player Branden Campbell and drummer Elaine Bradley, the Utah band gained a reputation for their energetic local shows. In April 2016, Glenn released his first song as a solo artist. The brusk electro-pop single "Trash" and its accompanying music video drew controversy for criticizing the conservative values of the singer's former faith, Mormonism. Titled Excommunication, his full-length debut arrived on Island Records that fall. ~ Marcy Donelson
