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 fell into a career of authorship of 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 where he fell into 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 his exit from public university, Tyger created and hosted Talks with Tyger, an informal talk show in the likes of The Joe Rogan Experience and Making Sense. This pursuit is where he currently remains today, though teasers of a non-fiction book, children's story, and a feature film have been planted for the future.
Early Life[edit]
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 unvaccinated until primary school at the request of his mother, a local educator. He attended elementary school at River Road/el camino del rio, a Spanish immersion school until he was relocated to Corridor from grades 3-5. He continued his education at Kelly Middle School, and completing his primary education at North Eugene High School. With no gap year, he went straight to Oregon State University to pursue a degree in Public Health & Human Sciences, which later evolved into a Kinesiology degree.
At university, Tyger promptly dropped out amidst his freshman year, inspired by Kanye West's 2004 masterpiece, The College Dropout, to pursue a career in music.
Career[edit]
2015-2017: Music[edit]
Ambivalence toward his studies brought Tyger to the point where he left after only a year to pursue a musical career. This time produced a full-length album, Too Busy Dreaming To Fall Asleep, where he worked with dozens of local musicians to crowdsource saxophone, cello, piano, french horn, synths, and bass from more talented musicians. This was followed by a return to Oregon State University and continued his education while quietly working on other creative endeavors to follow.
2017-2019: Writing[edit]
Following his first attempt at a music career, Tyger fell into writing non-fiction stories. In this time, he produced and published a novella, Just A Page Away, with a continued storyline in two avant-garde screenplays that have yet to be made into feature films. Before he made the switch away from authorship, Tyger wrote the majority of a non-fiction book, akin to the works of Jordan B Peterson. This piece has yet to be seen by the public, but is expected to be secretly published in early 2020.
2019-Present: Conversationalist[edit]
On June 6, 2019, Tyger released his first multi-media episode of Talks with Tyger. He has since had a broad range of guests on, from the Director of Digital Mental Health at the UO (Nick Allen, PhD), to prominent venture capitalist & investor (Joe Maruschak). His diversity of guests has grown an untraditional following of people intrigued by consciousness, serotonin, psychedelics, mental health, and self-improvement. He continues to grow his catalogue of guests with hopes to one day produce content at the level of other media giants.
Personal Life[edit]
Relationships and family[edit]
Tyger met his life-partner on February 13, 2017 in a local Corvallis coffee shop. They have been together ever since and officiated their non-traditional marriage on July 1, 2019.
Religious beliefs[edit]
Tyger has remained uncommitted to any sect of traditional Religion, though he has commonly referred to Buddhist, Hindu, and other Eastern Religions, inspired by the works of Alan Watts, and later Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaj-ji) & Ram Dass.
