Born in Mobile, Alabama, and educated (socially at the very least) at The Florida State University, Tyler’s down home sensibility, attitude and humor come across in his songs and through his live performances. Always a storyteller, songwriting fits quite naturally for Reeve. “I’m a song guy; I love songs, I love stories, I love the ride music can take you on.” Tyler’s performance are riddled with stories – usually funny stories – about inspiration for his songs, having a few too many, and even spending a night or two in jail.
Reeve has had his hand in writing some of country music’s biggest songs of the last few years, including the 2018 BMI Song of The Year, “In Case You Didn’t Know” (Brett Young), which has streamed over 3 Billion times and been certified Diamond by the RIAA, one of only ten country songs to ever achieve this milestone. He also had a multi-week #1 & XM The Highway’s 2020 Song of The Year, and ACM Musical Event of The Year nom, “Does To Me” (Luke Combs ft Eric Church). Other notables include “Mississippi or Me” (Riley Green) “Whiskey On My Breath” (Love & Theft), “Where I Go When I Drink” (Chris Young), How Ya Doin Up There (Scotty McCreery) and “I Got Away With You” (Luke Combs).

Lee moved to Nashville in 1991, signed his first publishing deal in 1996 and has been on the radio virtually ever since. To date, he has had 19 top 20 singles with 7 reaching #1 and has earned 13 BMI radio performance awards. His songs have reached radio play in excess of 25 million spins with streaming numbers reaching into the hundreds of millions.
His accomplishments include 3 Grammy nominations, a teen choice award, and 4 different songs being nominated for ‘Song of the Year’ at major industry awards.
He won both a CMA and an ACM award for Song of the Year with “In Color” as recorded by Jamey Johnson. “You’re Gonna Miss This” won Song of the Year at both the ASCAP and NSAI awards and single of the year at the CMA awards.
Miller has also been given 4 “Songs I Wish I Had Written” trophies as voted on by the professional membership of NSAI (the Nashville Songwriter’s Association International).
Most recently he cowrote the Scotty McCreery top 5 hit “It Matters To Her”.
Lee was just elected to his second stint as President of the Nashville Songwriter’s Association which includes regular travel to Washington D.C. representing and lobbying for the rights of the American songwriter. He has testified before both houses of the U.S. congress as well as spending countless hours with bureaucrats reaching from the department of justice to cabinet level officials to federal judges. In 2015 he was presented with BMI’s inaugural “Champions Award” for these legislative efforts.
Ultimately, all of this led to the passing of the federal Music Modernization Act changing the criteria for which songwriters are paid in the digital era. Lee was present in the West Wing with the President when he signed it into law.
Miller has had success also as a record producer producing a pair of top 20 hits on recording artist Steve Holy including his #1 record “Brand New Girlfriend”.
On a personal note, in 2010 he was awarded the Fatherhood Award from Washington D.C.’s National Fatherhood Initiative and he and his wife Jana received the Congressional “Angels in Adoption” award on Capitol hill in 2015 having adopted 3 of their 4 children.
