Tyler Bullock II is a dynamic pianist and composer located in New York City. Since moving from Nashville to attend the Juilliard School (BM, 2025), Tyler has already established himself as one of the most promising pianists of his generation, having worked with Samara Joy, Joel Ross, Kenny Garrett, Theo Crocker, Sean Jones, Dee Dee Bridgewater, The Baylor Project, Herlin Riley, Willie Jones III, Sherman Irby, Ulysses Owens Jr., and The Roy Hargrove Big Band – where he has been the regular pianist since 2022. In 2023, Tyler recorded an album with Ulysses Owens Jr.’s Gen Y Band at Rudy Van Gelder studio, which spent 8 weeks at #1 on the Jazz Radio Charts.

Tyler has toured internationally and played at top festivals and venues like Carnegie Hall, The Village Vangaurd, Smoke, Dizzy’s, The Kennedy Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Newport Jazz Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, The Jacksonville Jazz Festival, Caramoor Jazz Festival, The Vancouver Jazz Festival, Blue Note NYC & Tokyo, Dizzy’s Club NYC, and The Cotton Club in Tokyo.

Regularly leading his own band, Tyler often plays in venues around New York City such as The Jazz Gallery, Smalls, Mezzrow, Dizzy’s, and Ornithology. While his trio serves as the foundation for most of Tyler’s performances, he frequently collaborates with horn players and vocalists to bring into fruition the full range of color that he hears while writing his original compositions. Intending to combine the lineage of jazz with his own fresh perspective, Tyler weaves powerful musical narratives in his compositions that serve as a framework for his group to unleash their creativity.

Recently, Tyler was one of the first recipients of The Gilmore’s 2026 Bell Young Artist Award. In 2024, he was selected to participate in the acclaimed Betty Carter Jazz Ahead program at The Kennedy Center. He was also chosen for Carnegie Hall’s National Youth Orchestra Jazz in 2021 and for the NYO Jazz All-Stars in 2023. In 2022, Tyler was honored as the National Young Arts top winner in jazz piano.
