Artiste Biography
Born as Tyler Anselm Joseph in Trinidad & Tobago on October 10th, he was involved in singing from a very young age. He was an avid member of the Marionettes Chorale and learned from their musical excellence. As the director of the Faith Revival Ministries’ Voices of Judah choir, he successfully planned and executed six major concerts between 2012 to 2016, with each one better than the one before. He has also directed the Hugh Wooding Law School’s resident choir’s presentation for their Graduation Ceremony on several occasions.
In terms of Musical Theatre, Anselm played a leading role in the Proscenium Theatre Company's local production of RENT- The Rock Musical, as Mark Cohen. In this production, he quickly absorbed the intricacies of acting and developed my newfound skill. He continued down this path with the role of Feully in the Marionettes Chorale's production of Les Misérables. He completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Performing Arts with a specialization in music at the University of Trinidad and Tobago in 2024, and released his first single in 2026.
Anselm's dream is to travel the world performing, as well as to open his own recording studio and music school, so that he can continue impacting lives through his music.
