View Lyrics by Ty Herndon
There's no denying the talent of this impassioned entertainer. Ty Herndon soared to instant success as his first single, "What Mattered Most," broke the record for highest debut release and soon topped the Billboard and Radio & Record's charts. He achieved that feat again with the title song from his second album, "Living In A Moment," and again on his third release, "Big Hopes" with the infectious question-and-answer song, "It Must Be Love." His voice embraces with a familiar warm style and soulful depth earning him the Best New Artist award at the 1995 Country Radio Music Awards; a nomination for Star Of Tomorrow: Male Artist at the 1996 TNN Music City News Awards; nomination for Favorite New Artist - Country at the 1996 American Music Awards; and nominations from Performance Magazine Reader's Poll and the British Country Music Awards. In addition, his verve helped make "What Mattered Most" the 1996 Music Row Song Of The Year.
Raised in Alabama, Ty developed his vocal ability singing southern gospel . He followed his dream to Nashville where he sang song demos and jingles and was a member of the Tennessee River Boys who were later to become Diamond Rio. He gained national attention as a StarSearch finalist and then moved to Texas where he developed his ability to capture a crowd.
The past few years have been a whirlwind for Ty. Personal tragedy followed by personal triumph - a phenomenal comeback some speculated would never happen. Ty Herndon's convincing vocal ability, meaty songs and a blazing live stage show grip his audiences and have them screaming for more.
