Tyler Ward launched his career when he began posting covers and original songs to YouTube in 2010, which led him to appearing on several tours over the years and performing with major musical acts various genres. Along the way, he co-founded his current Nashville venture,\u00a0Song House, an organization dedicated to bringing songwriters and creators together and acting as a \u201chaven\u201d where they can collaborate, share their talents and connect with like-minded individuals.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Emmy Russell gained recognition for her talent at the start of the year when she won over the American Idol judges with a heartfelt performance of her original song, \u201cSkinny.\u201d During the audition she also revealed that music runs deep in her blood as her grandmother is the country icon, Loretta Lynn.

Not much is known about Russell and Ward\u2019s relationship as it seems they have mostly kept their private lives out of the public eye.
