Dan Tyler has been writing songs since he was a teenager growing up in Mississippi. After graduation from law school, Dan moved to Nashville to be closer to the music business. For several years, he practiced law while writing songs on the side. Early radio successes came with singles by Claude King, Eddie Rabbitt and Stella Parton. But Dan’s breakthrough song was one he co-wrote with his wife Adele. “Bobbie Sue” as recorded by The Oak Ridge Boys was a major hit in 1982, going #1 on the Billboard country singles chart and #12 on the pop chart.

After the success of that record, Dan devoted himself to songwriting and the music business.

Dan’s songs have been recorded by, among others; Eddy Arnold, Bobby Blue Bland, Kenny Rogers, Agnetha Fältskog (ABBA), Glen Campbell, B.J. Thomas, LeAnn Rimes, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Englebert Humperdinck, Candi Staton, Marie Osmond, Keith Whitley, SKO, The Cox Family, McGuffey Lane, Dr. Hook, Jackie DeShannon and Johnnie Taylor. His songs have won numerous awards from ASCAP and BMI for airplay. Six of Dan’s songs have reached the top 5 on the Billboard country singles chart and his songs have sold, to date, over ten million hard copies and have been streamed many millions of times.

Dan has also owned and operated a music publishing company, the Intuit Music Group, for over 30 years and has worked with, among others; William Tyler, R.S. Field, Webb Wilder, Billy Ray Reynolds and David St. Romain.

In 1996, Dan’s novel Music City Confidential was published by Eggman Press in Nashville.
