Steven Tyler: Frontman, Idol Judge and Rock Icon

Steven Victor Tallarico, better referred to as Steven Tyler, was born on March 26, 1948 in Yonkers, New York. As the diva of Aerosmith, Tyler is considered to be one of rock's biggest showmen. The son of a music teacher, he started playing drums at a young age, but then concentrated on vocal. After relocating to Boston in the late 1960s, Tyler eventually satisfied up the artists that would form the rock group Aerosmith. He reportedly met up with guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton while they were playing in different bands in the Sunapee, New Hampshire area.
