10 Questions with ... Tyler Boone1. What are some goals that you have for yourself this year? How close are you to reaching them?
I think 2019 has been my best year yet! So much going on and it's incredible. My goals this year are to keep growing my music to both radio and Spotify, while also growing my liquor brand "Boone's Bourbon" to all over the country, with touring all throughout the year. My Spotify now has 70-80,000 monthly listeners and the title track is my second single to go to radio off my Jealousy EP.
My bourbon brand is going great too; we just landed Costco, BJ's Wholesale and Canada! I'll also be launching "Boone's Bourbon IPA" to pair with the bourbon at the end of the year. All exciting stuff.
2. Growing up, how important was music in your life?
Music was and still is my top priority. I remember sitting in my bedroom blasting Blink-182 while reading all the guitar-tab books I just bought at the mall and thinking I wanted to just be like Tom DeLonge. Later, it was Metallica, then Jimi Hendrix to then John Mayer. I love everything about the guitar, and it will always be my first love. It wasn't a hard decision to make; I knew it was what I wanted to do, the hard part was figuring out how to make it a living and I am extremely grateful it's how I make a living now.
