For his hip-hip style influences ranging from Notorious BIG to Dr Dre. As his music taste progressed, he began listening to heavier music through elementary school such as Meshuggah, At the Gates and Tool.

Bands that Tyson became infatuated with throughout high school were Underoath, Saosin, Silverstein and A Day to Remember.
