States Of The Mind is Tyler Dedera. I've lived in Flagstaff Arizona for most of my life and spent a couple years in Iowa going to school, where I was lucky enough to be around some very phenomenal and inspiring musicians. I write, record, perform, mix & produce all original material. I play guitar, keyboards, piano, bass & drums. States Of The Mind used to primarily be my electronica project, even though I've always mixed together alot different genres like rock, industrial, and even a little jazz, the rock side of it seems to be growing sharper all the time, what I like to call "Rocktronic". This music is mainly art inspired and usually very experimental. If my life were a movie these songs would be the soundtrack, thats my main thought usually whenever I write a song. I've been writing & recording this material since 2000. It mainly just started out as an experiment and side project from other bands I had been in, but it's been the most consistent musical project in my life as of recently.
