Introduction

                My name is Tyler Holmes, some call me Ty, T, Tiger, the girls call me Ty Ty, you can call me whatever you want.  I was born and raised in Somerville, MA, a city right outside of Boston known for its historical background especially during the American Revolution.  I grew up in the same house for as long as I've lived with my mother Nancy, father Joseph, and my three siblings Melissa, Michael, and Ashley.  I've learned a lot from growing up in the city and from my family, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

               
               An average 19 year old would say they like to party or play video games in their free time, but that’s not really my scene.  Some would consider me very boring, as I’d much rather delve into reading the Game of Thrones book or draw tattoo ideas than go out.  I also produce music, mostly hip hop/trap and EDM/Dubstep, in the hopes that working at it will one day get me a career.  Many of my friends know me for my addiction to music, I know songs of all genres, and know the lyrics to almost all hip hop music.  I take every opportunity when I can to listen to music, whether it’s walking to work, or in class before the teacher arrives to class.  I’m always open to listening to new music and that’s the great thing about music, is there is never any end to it.

               
                The hardest question for me to answer is always, “describe yourself in 3 words” so instead of me answering it, I usually ask other people to do it for me.  My brother took the first one and told me I’m self-effacing, because I never take the credit for anything, and always act like what I did isn't a big deal.  To me helping a person out or doing a good deed isn't something that needs recognition all the time when there are people just like me doing something even better than me that deserves the attention.  My friend Shelia, told me that I’m very ambitious, which I can understand considering I have told people since I was 7 that I would own a mansion one day, and put Boston on the map in a larger way than it already is.  Finally a lot of people tell me that I’m studious, because I've always hated showing up last, I’m usually the first person to show up to class or to an event.  I really learned this from my dad because he always told me and my siblings that it’s always better to be early than to be late.  I really don’t try to ever boost my ego, or make myself seem so high and mighty either, I find myself to be a pretty likable guy.
