Tyler Ballgame

Tyler Ballgame, the stage name of American singer-songwriter Tyler D. Perry, grew up in Rhode Island and sang in musical-theatre circles before moving to Los Angeles. After years of uncertainty and depression, he rebuilt his career through open mics; a viral performance clip drew producer Jonathan Rado’s attention and led to studio sessions. In 2024–2025 he released the singles “Help Me Out” (which reached number 14 on the UK Physical Singles Sales), “Radio,” “Sarah,” “Hold,” “Got a New Car,” and “I Believe in Love,” then signed to Rough Trade Records. His debut album For the First Time, Again arrived in 2026, blending vintage soft-rock crooning with modern indie polish.
