Tyrone Wells
Hi, I’m Tyrone Wells. I’ve sat down with a number of different writers for “bios” to be written. Somewhere along the line I got to thinking… “If this is supposed to be all about me, why don’t I just write it? I’m pretty familiar with the subject at hand.”
In 2nd grade, music began to move me. I had it bad for Amy who sat three desks in front of me in Miss Rush’s class. I got up the guts to ask her to go steady with me via note and she checked the “yes” box. Also, she gave me her class picture and drew... read more

Tyrone Wells has delivered an epic pop/rock album with his second major label effort, Remain. Pursuing a more collaborative process and having added a more lush production to his singer- songwriter roots, the new album proves to be a great showcase for his powerful and emotional voice.
The Spokane, WA native's desire to ‘open up the process' found him traveling to London to work with a circle of songwriters/musicians who aligned with Wells' musical direction. “Half of the album was done in London and the other half completed here in the states,” says Wells. “I didn't know what kind of record I was going to make before I got to London, but something just seemed to click while I was there that really defined what I wanted to do with this album.” Invoking a cathartic creative process from the very beginning for Remain, the songwriter penned an astounding 60 songs for the record.
Tyrone worked with songwriter/producer Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, KT Tunstall, James Morrison) and Iain Archer (UK indie artist and Snow Patrol co-writer) in the UK, and Tim Myers (formerly of OneRepublic), David Hodges (formerly of Evanescence) and Matt Scannell (Vertical Horizon) in the U.S. Creating a work that manages to be more guitar-edged than previous Wells' efforts - but still unabashedly soul-baring - he appreciated huddling with collaborators like Terefe, who - like Wells - is a big believer in trusting one's instincts.
Wells is particularly proud that Remain has carried him into some undiscovered territories. His voice continues to set him apart and his passion is demonstrated on this new album. “With constant touring it's important to believe in what you're singing every night. I'm excited about this new material and believe in these songs. I like where I'm going."
