Instinctive, Proficient, Creative… in three words, you can summarize the immense work of Los Angeles-based Producer/Actor, Cryptex. 

Born Tyler Chase in Boston, MA, raised the smoky mountains of North Carolina, crafted in the halls of London, and cultured by the streets of Los Angeles - Cryptex has had an artistic edge since his youth. Growing up in public schooling, and eventually deciding to home school and graduate early to jump-start his acting path, Tyler’s childhood was blessed with myriad musical and creative influences. The son of two radio professionals, they would listen to everything from Sting, Nora Jones, Michael Jackson, to more recent acts like Missy Elliot, even a broken Nelly CD that he and his mother found in a parking lot. 

With a passion for the acting, Tyler didn’t start out as most of his fellow producer peers. His first acting role was at the age of 11. Tyler went on to be featured in dozens of film and television appearances —  most notably a recurring role on AMC’s, “The Walking Dead” and guest star role on FOX’s, “Sleepy Hollow”. It wasn’t until 2008 when he heard edIT’s track “Crunk De Gaulle,” that Tyler first heard the ticking of BPMs inside of his head, that would eventually become Cryptex. The tune was unlike  anything he’d ever heard--  it went so deep into his bones that he spent the next few days going through every track of edIT’s, Glitch Mob, and dozens of others just to keep this feeling alive. This moment is when 
Tyler knew he was destined to make music, to create what he feels within and to bring out the world inside his soul. 

His first big break came in 2014, when MTV hired Cryptex to assist Patrick Claire and his team at Elastic.tv to create remixes for every nomination category for the 2014 MTV VMAs. 

Most recently, Cryptex released his debut album, “End Silence” capturing the ears of glitch enthusiasts the world over. With a glitchy precision, Cryptex is set to debut his sophomore EP, “ Nightwatch” releasing  this November on Friday the 13th, via his own label, Orphic Recordings. 

Be ready to have your head twisted with glitched and cut melodies and vocals, along with ultra-heavy beats and rhythms. . Up first is the single, “The Fall,”  releasing October 27th. Till then, stay connected on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram

Home of my random musical snippets and "The Internet is a Terrible Place" Podcast!  ENJOY!

Hey all, My name is Destery Smith, I co-own and operate a YouTube Channel called DesandNate as well as another channel called Capndesdes.
I have always been interested in dabbling with music. From 9th grade, I was stuck in a graphic design class with a shiny new Apple computer in 2005. It came standard with Garageband, an amazing tool that helped me get started in my music making career. I knew my hunger for making music would not be satiated by a mediocre program, so I sought to get more knowledge. Thats when I ran across Propellerheads Reason. It helped me REALLY get started into making music.
Originally, Only making music that one would only hear in elevators, and then slowly progressing into:
House, Funk House, Disco House, Electro House, Dubstep, Trance, Hardstyle, Rap, etc.
I was so interested in the different uses of the program that I got immersed inside it, and now, instead of producing only one style of music, Have over 300 unfinished Tracks of different genres. 

On another note, also when in 9th grade, I stumbled across a CD from a friend. It was "The Postal Service - Give Up". The album was played nearly 20 times a day for me for a year straight. I became so obsessed that my goal was to be able to sing. Throughout literally 6 or 7 years, I have been proud to say that my voice is similar in very many ways to my singing inspiration, Ben Gibbard, Lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie, and the Postal Service. 

I would have to say a weakpoint in musical talent for me is Lyrics. I used to be quite good at writing them, and then since 10th grade, hit some sort of snag in almost all creative writing. So if any of you feel like creating lyrics for me, I am more then willing to share my thoughts and Instrumentals.

As of now, I am working on my first ever EP of my one man band: Stop! The Attack! In time, I hope to make it a great album, however now it is just instrumentals with empty lyrics and no vocals. Anyways, that was musical tale, I hope you all stay and follow me and hope you enjoy my music. Thank you!
