Tyger Gruber
Tyger Lake Gruber (taɪɡɜːr; born July 7, 1997) is an American speaker, author, musician, and advocate for consciousness. His creative career has been marked by an eclectic range of influences including Justin Vernon, Kanye West, Naval Ravikant, Martin Shkreli, and Joe Rogan. Over the course of his career, Tyger has played a role in the growing grassroots movement advocating for research into consciousness.
Born and raised near Eugene, Oregon, Tyger first became known in early 2017 for a fleeting music career with the collaboration and production of Too Busy Dreaming To Fall Asleep. Soon after, he embarked on a career as an author, publishing a fiction novella, Just A Page Away, followed by two unreleased full-length screenplays. Following the publication of his first book, education became a priority, leading him to studies at OSU, graduating with a BS in Kinesiology, where he worked with Dr. William V Massey researching the impact of play and sport on at-risk youth.[1] Soon after leaving public university, Tyger created and hosted Talks with Tyger, an informal talk show in the style of The Joe Rogan Experience and Making Sense. This is his current pursuit, although he has hinted at future projects including a non-fiction book, a children's story, and a feature film.
Early Life
Tyger Lake Gruber was born on July 7, 1997, in Eugene, Oregon. He was born at home with the help of a traveling midwife, and was unvaccinated until primary school at his mother's request. His mother was a local educator. He attended elementary school at River Road/el camino del rio, a Spanish immersion school, until relocating to Corridor for grades 3–5. He continued his education at Kelly Middle School and completed his primary education at North Eugene High School. Without a gap year, he went straight to Oregon State University to pursue a degree in Public Health & Human Sciences, which he later changed to Kinesiology.
At university, Tyger dropped out during his freshman year, inspired by Kanye West's 2004 masterpiece, The College Dropout, to pursue a music career.
Career
2015-2017: Music
Ambivalence toward his studies led Tyger to leave after only a year to pursue a musical career. This period resulted in a full-length album, Too Busy Dreaming To Fall Asleep, for which he collaborated with dozens of local musicians, crowdsourcing saxophone, cello, piano, french horn, synths, and bass. This was followed by a return to Oregon State University, where he continued his education while quietly working on other creative projects.
2017-2019: Writing
Following his initial foray into music, Tyger turned to writing non-fiction stories. During this time, he produced and published a novella, Just A Page Away, with a continued storyline in two avant-garde screenplays that remain unproduced. Before transitioning away from authorship, Tyger wrote the majority of a non-fiction book, similar in style to the works of Jordan B Peterson. This work has yet to be publicly released but is expected to be published in early 2020.
2019-Present: Conversationalist
On June 6, 2019, Tyger released the first multi-media episode of Talks with Tyger. He has since hosted a diverse range of guests, from the Director of Digital Mental Health at the UO (Nick Allen, PhD), to a prominent venture capitalist and investor (Joe Maruschak). This diversity of guests has cultivated an unconventional following interested in consciousness, serotonin, psychedelics, mental health, and self-improvement. He continues to expand his guest list, hoping to one day produce content on a par with other major media outlets.
Personal Life
Relationships and family
Tyger met his life partner on February 13, 2017, in a local Corvallis coffee shop. They have been together ever since and formalized their non-traditional marriage on July 1, 2019.
Religious beliefs
Tyger has not committed to any sect of traditional Religion, although he has frequently cited Buddhist, Hindu, and other Eastern Religions, inspired by the works of Alan Watts, and later Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaj-ji) & Ram Dass.
