Thi Hays
Thi Hays, better known to friends and family as Tyler Walden, is an aspiring hip-hop artist; he is the CEO/founder of Double Aught Entertainment, L.L.C. as well. What began as just a love for music turned into a business venture with an aspiration to inspire and educate, not only himself, but other artists as well. His passion for his music has driven him to become more involved in the business side due to his knowledge of other artists not quite understanding the business getting their careers stripped from them. In an effort to prevent it from happening to him and others, he decided to create his own entertainment company. Partnering with Terrance Hudson from Music Biz Docs, he wears many hats but his main focus is music publishing, business development, marketing/promotion, and ghostwriting. Needless to say, Thi Hays has been educating himself and others for 3 years and counting.

In addition to running a company, Thi Hays continues to make music and reach out to other artists for collaborative efforts, such as the one "Seen the Game (Darth Vader)" which features artists Verbb Kent from Redd Clay Records & Geeko Colorrosi. His fan favorite: "Dime a Dozen" is in rotation on Live365 and 2 Hot 4 Airwaves, both hosted by Yvonne Wilcox. This single can also be found on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, and CDBaby for purchase.

Despite the many odds stacked against him, Thi Hays strives to create a sound that will move you. With the lyrical ability unlike any other, Thi Hays draws inspiration from everyday life situations and with influences such as Big KRIT, OutKast, UGK, 8Ball & MJG, Devin the Dude, and many more, he's sure to entice your mind and touch your soul. "The song should catch your attention before the lyrics even start," he states. "If music doesn't touch your soul it's not real music," which is something he strives to create every time he steps into a studio: real music. Thi Hays doesn't want to just make music: he wants to create art. So, in the words of Mr. Double Aught himself: "Fall back or fall in line"...in other words, either join the movement or get left behind.
