Early Life

Tyler Joseph was born on December 1, 1988 in Columbus, Ohio. Tyler and his siblings Zack, Jay, and Madison are the children of Kelly Joseph, a math teacher, and Christopher Anthony "Chris" Joseph, a basketball coach at a local high school. All three children were homeschooled by their parents.

Joseph started a YouTube channel in 2007 called "slushieguys" which gained over 126,000 subscribers by August 2021. He rejected an offer to play basketball on scholarship at Otterbein University. It was around this time that he began showing interest in playing music and entertaining.

Career

In 2007, Joseph recorded a solo album in his parents' basement called "No Phun Intended." Joseph, bassist Nick Thomas, and drummer Chris Salih formed the band Twenty One Pilots in 2009 in Columbus, Ohio.  hey released the independent album Twenty One Pilots in late December 2009 and began touring around Ohio. Twenty One Pilots released their second album, Regional at Best in 2011, after Salih left the band, so only Joseph and drummer Josh Dun appeared on the album. The band officially became a duo after that.

Twenty One Pilots were signed by Fueled by Ramen records in 2012. Their major-label debut album Vessel was released in 2013 and reached #10 on the US Alternative chart. The band subsequently went on a nationwide tour ("Quiet is Violent World Tour")  to support the album.

The band's 2015 album Blurryface reached #1 in May of that year on the Billboard 200, US Alternative, and US Rock charts. Their singles include "Holding on to You", "Guns for Hands", "Lovely", "House of Gold", "Car Radio", "Fairly Local", "Tear in My Heart", "Stressed Out", "Lane Boy", and "Ride". Twenty One Pilots were nominated for an MTV Video Music Award – Artist to Watch in 2013. Joseph and Dun then embarked on two international tours in 2015 and 2016.

On February 12, 2017 Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph won a Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. The duo accepted the award in their underwear and told the crowd that this was a promise they had made years earlier if they ever won a Grammy. The band released their fifth studio album, "Trench" in October 2018 and toured in support of the album that fall. The music video for their new single "Chlorine" directed by Mark C. Eshleman was uploaded to YouTube on January 22, 2019. In April 2020, Twenty One Pilots released a single called "Level of Concern," which reflected the anxiety during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
