Tyrone went on to teach himself how to play keyboards. ?Later I found out that I liked writing songs and directing the choir,? he acknowledges. ?There?s something very satisfying about hearing a large group of beautiful voices singing words that I wrote, arranged and produced, especially when the voices are praising God.?
