Tyler Watts-Brown
Executive Chef/ CEO
Hometowns: Newark & Willingboro, NJ
It was at the early age of five where Tyler developed a passion for all things food related. Growing up, his mom was known as the best cook in the family which meant she was always in the kitchen experimenting with new flavors using him and his dad as taste testers. As Tyler grew up, he enrolled in a vocational highschool (BCIT Westech) where he majored in Culinary Arts for four years. During his senior year he received a scholarship to Johnson & Wales University where his culinary skills & knowledge fully matured, also developing his new found love for upscale dining. After cooking at five diamond resorts & climbing the corporate ladder, Tyler would soon realize his passion would be best fulfilled through curating more intimate dining experiences. Full of optimism, Art De Noir Soul was created in hopes to bring the upscale dining experience to the client's footsteps.
