==Biography== Michael Tyler Spragg was born in Thayer, Missouri. He began performing music at age eight, and at age thirteen, he was mentored by Michael Knox, who is Jason Aldean's record producer. Knox invited Tyler to Nashville, Tennessee, where he began performing at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge. This led to him securing a songwriter contract with Peer Music, in addition to writing songs for Aldean, LoCash, and other artists. Among the songs Tyler wrote was Dierks Bentley's "Somewhere on a Beach", which went to number one on the ''Billboard'' Country Airplay charts.<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web | url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/michael-tyler-mn0003319737 | title=Michael Tyler biography | publisher=AllMusic | accessdate=June 11, 2025 | author=Mark Deming}}</ref>
In 2017, Tyler signed with Reviver Records, the same independent label to which LoCash was signed at the time.
