Mini bio
How it started.
Born Steven Victor Tallarico in New York City, Tyler began as a drummer and singer. In 1964 he formed the Strangeurs, later called Chain Reaction, in Yonkers. After seeing Joe Perry and Tom Hamilton play in New Hampshire, he joined forces with them and moved to Boston, where Aerosmith formed in 1970.
The songs fans grew up with.
Aerosmith’s 1973 debut introduced “Dream On.” The song became a much bigger hit when reissued in 1976, while albums such as Toys in the Attic and Rocks helped establish the band. Tyler’s high screams, colorful clothes and scarves draped over the microphone stand became part of his stage identity.
Finding new audiences.
In 1986 Tyler and Perry joined Run-DMC for a new version of “Walk This Way.” The collaboration helped bring Aerosmith back to wider attention, followed by Permanent Vacation, Pump and Get a Grip. Tyler also became an American Idol judge, and in 2016 released the country album We’re All Somebody from Somewhere, which reached number one on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.
Music and a cause.
Tyler founded Janie’s Fund with Youth Villages in November 2015 to support girls who have experienced abuse and neglect. His recent work includes the One More Time EP with Aerosmith and Yungblud, benefit performances, and Aerosmith’s two California, Dream On shows at the Hollywood Bowl in 2026.
