Tyler James Hilton (born on November 22, 1983, in Palm Springs, California) is a singer-songwriter and actor. Hilton, while still somewhat unknown, began his professional career in music in 2000. Rolling Stone Magazine have compared him to his contemporary, Elton John, while others have compared Hilton to Howie Day, both vocally and instrumentally. Since the release of his debut album, he has also took part in acting, guest starring on The WB's television show One Tree Hill as the talented but somewhat mean-spirited Chris Keller, and playing the role of Elvis Presley in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line. Hilton has just finished filming his role in the upcoming film Charlie Bartlett.^{[citation needed]} Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Early Years

Raised in Bermuda Dunes, CA Hilton grew up around music. Hilton began teaching himself Elvis Presley songs at an early age. After a brief stint in Northern California, his family moved back to the Palm Springs Area, where he wrote his first song about a girl with whom he attended school. Hilton's family made another move back to Coachella Valley for high school, where, at La Quinta High School, he started a band with some of his classmates. The band didn't go anywhere, so Hilton began to enter open mic nights and went to local coffee shops to play his own music.
