Getting into music at the age of 8 years old, Gyles grew up getting into groups such as Rare Earth and Jimi Hendrix. Growing up in Northeast, DC, the first group he played with was a band called Kyro Funk. From there, Gyles went on the road and toured with George Clinton and the P Funk All-Stars throughout the entire 80s. He still works on occasion with Clinton, as well as Gary Shyder. When asked of their vision regarding the future of First Touch, their responses regarding the struggles are coincidentally shared with many other bands in the area that DC can be a very hard place to please.
