Hey everyone! Some of you may remember Tyler Matl from my previous interview with him. He's recently decided to venture into a new project titled Hyler Entertainment Group with his friend, and social media celebrity, Hunter Herring. We decided to catch up and chat about their new project. Check it out below!
Hey Tyler and Hunter! Can you guys please introduce yourselves first and tell us a little bit about yourselves?
Tyler - "I'm a singer songwriter as well as the owner/founder of my own Marketing & PR firm. Most people know me for my song "All I Ever Wanted" which has been played a lot on iHeartRadio stations as well as performed in front of thousands of people. I've been on multiple tours and been so lucky as to open for some great artists including We The Kings, Christina Grimmie and Jacob Whitesides."
Hunter - "I'm most known for being a social media celebrity and I am the head of graphics and art at Hyler Ent. Group. I've ammassed a total of 1.2 million followers on social media platforms combined. I do several partnerships with a multitude of clothing companies plus other brands. I love animals, especially my dog Booger."
Tell me a little bit about how you two met? What made you want to go into business together?
"We met through social media due to our similarities and experiences with being in smiliar industries. After talking we became good friends and kept in touch. We decided to go into business together after I had an expeirnece with a manager who frequantly overshadowed my creativity and didn't fully allow me to be myself. I didn't want other young and upcoming artists and bands to be in a similar postion in which someone else was taking away creative rights and the authenticity of a brand."
You two are starting Hyler Entertainment Group. Can you tell me what exactly that is, and who may be interested in working with you?
"Hyler Ent. Group is a Marketing & PR firm. We work with our clients to help their brand progress and making proper business and marketing decisions that will strategically elevate our clients sucess and creative works. We work with artists and bands who have the potential and drive to acheive longterm longevity with what they do."
Tyler, I've interviewed you before in regards to your singing. Now, with this new business venture will you be continuing as an artist, or will that be on hold?
"Yes, I am still putting time into my singing/songwriting career. I've really wanted to be more involved in the business side of the industry and this is the perfect opporuntiy for me to expand my capabilities. I plan on releasing new music in the future though. Be on the look out."
Hunter, tell me a little bit about your rise to Instagram fame, and when you first realized, "wow something is happening."
"Things initially began for me on Twitter when Rihanna and Katy Perry recognized me in tweets. This got me a lot of attention and everything eventually poured over onto instagram and other social media platforms. I realized something was going on when I went from a handful of followers to over 275,000 in just a years time. I began making the popular page on instagram and getting offers from companies to promote them. Now I am taking my talent and skills into the business world and I can't wait to see where it all takes me."
What would you like the future of Hyler Entertainment to be?
"Our main focus is less about us and more about our clients. If our clients are happy and feel like we've attributed to their successes then we are already building a solid and strong future for our business."
