Her professional music career began singing lead for an R&B group called The Boys Next Door. The group signed with Jermaine Jackson's label Work Records, which later folded.[1] Tyler eventually signed with RCA Records and released her debut album Girls Nite Out. She co-wrote the lead single "Whatcha Gonna Do" which peaked at #3 on the Billboard R&B chart. The 1990 follow-up single "Girls Nite Out" topped out at #6 on the Billboard's R&B charts, as well as #6 on its Pop charts.
Collins songwriting came to the forefront for her second album Tyler, which was a decidedly more pop-oriented effort than Girls Nite Out. The set featured standout the singles "It Doesn't Matter" (co-written by Siedah Garrett) and "Just Make Me The One". Tyler has also written songs for Celine Dion, Shanice, and Jeffrey Osborne.
She also took part in the group recording Freedom (Theme From Panther) in 1995 featuring scores of young female R&B artists including Aaliyah, En Vogue, TLC, and others. Also in 1995, Tyler Collins recorded Never Alone (Eeyore's Lullaby) for the Winnie the Pooh tribute album. Take My Hand: Songs from the Hundred Acre Wood; it reached #48 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks.
Her work with Prince lead to a solo recording contract at Warner Bros. Records. Though a full length release never materialized, the deal did yield Collins' recording of the Top 20 Adult Contemporary song "Thanks to You", the theme song to the Paramount Pictures' film Andre. A music video for the song is included at the end of the movie.
Apart from her singing career, Collins has also appeared in several television shows and motion pictures. She played the role of Tina in the 1991 film A Rage in Harlem, starring Gregory Hines and Forest Whitaker. She also starred in another film entitled Why Colors? and played her highest-profile role as Cinderella on an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

WOW this unlocks memories from when this song was popular it even got played on Club MTV that's how big this song was
@allybrosia3725
This was a huge hit! Where are the views???
@bobdavis4848
The views probably mostly went to the sexy music video of the song that has since been removed.
@allybrosia3725
@@bobdavis4848 That’s a great point Bob. Didn’t even occur to me. This was a very popular song and I thought I remembered a video. They need to re upload it
@bobdavis4848
@@allybrosia3725 That would be great; seems youtube now only has portions of it viewable to Americans, intercut with dancers in a Club MTV clip...or performance clips of it. The owner of the rights to the promo clip seems to have made it not available to Americans anymore. I have Tyler Collins' two CD albums. When the California Music Channel played "Girls Nite Out," I used to be glued to the TV see her writhing around in that low cut white outfit and acting feisty and sexy. There is a performance of her from "Into The Night With Rick Dees" and he could hardly talk to her right after it and asked if he can help her with that (her strap / top).
