His mother is an employee at Stillwater Public Schools. He has an older brother, Dr. Zack S. Ritter, DDS, who is an endodontist, and a younger sister, Bailey Ritter. He and his siblings graduated from Stillwater High School.[2]

Career

Ritter met his bandmates while he was at a party in high school. After Jesse Tabish quit the band, and with the additions of Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor, The All-American Rejects were picked up by Doghouse Records, and later DreamWorks Records, and finally signed with the major label Interscope Records. In early 2018, the band left Interscope. As of July 2019, they are signed to Epitaph Records.[3] The All-American Rejects have released four albums to date, and have sold over 10 million albums worldwide and 4 million singles.

Ritter has appeared in television series and films such as House (2007), The House Bunny (2008), Betas (2013–14), and Parenthood (2013–15).[4][5] On November 5, 2013, Ritter released the song "Air" as a solo song to help "ride between the Rejects' next record", which was featured on Parenthood.[6]

Shortly after the release of "Air" Tyson wrote the song "Collide", which was also featured on Parenthood. The song was never released on the market but is still available on sites like YouTube.[7]

Ritter's next projects included a role in the John Cusack film Love and Mercy (2014). He had also been cast in the lead role of singer Gregg Allman in the biopic Midnight Rider, directed by Randall Miller, but the film was halted in production, and ultimately cancelled, due to the death of camera assistant Sarah Jones.[8] The following year, Ritter had a supporting role in the comedy-drama film Miss You Already, which starred Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore.

Equipment

Ritter likes to use Fender bass guitars.

He then later used Fender Jaguar Bass guitars for later tours before switching back to Fender Precision Basses.
