Tyler Nance (born August 25, 2003) is a country singer-songwriter originally from Lamar, Missouri. He gained prominence in 2025 with his viral single "Keeps Me Sane".
Nance grew up in rural Lamar, Missouri, coming from a fourth-generation farming family where he raised cattle. Before pursuing music full-time, he graduated Lamar High School in 2022 and worked as a welder in Kentucky. Off the clock, he picked up a guitar he acquired and learned to play. He relocated to Nashville to develop his songwriting and recording career.
Nance released his first single "Bad News" in August 2024. His debut EP arrived in December, Wasted Chances, quickly amassing over 4 million streams. In July 2025, Nance released "Keeps Me Sane", a song he co-wrote with Brent McCollough and Donnie Napier. The song went viral on TikTok and charted at #33 on Hot Country Songs. After the success of "Keeps Me Sane", he was named Billboard's Country Rookie of the Month for September 2025 and is working on a debut full-length album.
In August 2023, Nance was arrested in Hamilton County, Indiana, after being taken into custody by the Arcadia Police Department. He was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, operating with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.15 or higher, illegal consumption of alcohol as a minor, and possession of false government identification; he was held without bond.
