Tyler's father was of Italian and German descent, while his mother was of Polish, English and African-American ancestry.Steven Tyler with David Dalton (2011) The Autobiography: Does the noise in my head bother you?.

Genealogist Megan Smolenyak established that Steven Tyler's grandfather was Polish, born Felix Czarnyszewicz in 1892 in Klichaw, in today's Belarus. In 1914 he emigrated to the US and changed his surname to Blancha. There he married Bessie Elliott, with whom he had four children, including Steven's mother Susan. Felix's brother was Florian Czarnyszewicz, a well-known Polish writer who emigrated to Argentina. Florian Czarnyszewicz is best known for his novel Nadberezeńcy which describes the fate of Poles living in the lands between the Berezina and Dnieper rivers between 1911 and 1920.{{Cite news |title=Лідэр Aerosmith і "прынцэса эльфаў" — нашчадкі Флярыяна Чарнышэвіча |url=https://www.svaboda.org/a/28325186.html |access-date=April 20, 2022 |website=Радыё Свабода |date=February 23, 2017 |language=be|last1=Гурневіч |first1=Дзьмітры }}{{Cite web |date=January 11, 2011 |title=I've Got a Crush on Steven Tyler's Grandfather |url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ive-got-a-crush-on-steven_b_797988 |access-date=April 20, 2022 |website=HuffPost |language=en}}

Tyler attended Roosevelt High School on Tuckahoe Road in Yonkers, New York which was about a mile from his house, but was expelled from the school just before graduation due to marijuana use. He later graduated from Quintano School for Young Professionals.{{cite news |title = COUNTY LINES; In Yonkers, Where Fame Is Life-Size |url = https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B01EED71530F931A35757C0A9609C8B63 |work = The New York Times |date = April 7, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171003075809/https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B01EED71530F931A35757C0A9609C8B63 |archive-date = October 3, 2017 |df = mdy-all }}

At 17, Tyler spent time in Greenwich Village, New York, the highlight of which was seeing a Rolling Stones concert. Tyler states that he and his friends "hung around for a while, buzzing like crazy just because we got to touch them." He added, "Everybody told me that I looked just like Mick Jagger with my big lips and Keith Richards basically was the music I used to love more than anything."{{cite book |author = Jeff Burlingame |title = Aerosmith: Hard Rock Superstars |url = https://archive.org/details/aerosmithhardroc0000burl |url-access = registration |access-date = December 7, 2017 |date = September 2010 |publisher = Enslow Publishers, Incorporated |isbn = 978-1-59845-210-5 |pages = [https://archive.org/details/aerosmithhardroc0000burl/page/19 19]– |df = mdy-all }} A photo in the band's autobiography Walk This Way shows Tyler standing behind Mick Jagger outside a hotel.

Before forming Aerosmith, Tyler wrote what would become one of Aerosmith's signature songs, "Dream On". In 1969, Tyler attended a local rock show in Sunapee, New Hampshire. While there, he saw future bandmates Joe Perry (guitars) and Tom Hamilton (bass) playing in a band called the Jam Band. Tyler later stated he was struck by their raw power and attitude.{{cn|date=April 2025}}

Around 1970, Tyler, Perry and Hamilton decided to form a band. Tyler, who had played drums in many of his previous bands while in school, insisted that he would be the frontman and lead singer. Joey Kramer, an old acquaintance of Tyler's from New York, was recruited to play the drums. Driven by a collective ambition to launch their careers as full-time musicians and hopeful recording artists, the band moved to the Boston area.{{cn|date=April 2025}}

The band moved into a home together at 1325 Commonwealth Avenue{{cite web|url=http://archive.boston.com/yourtown/news/allston_brighton/2012/11/aerosmith_plans_concert_outsid.html|title=Aerosmith plans concert outside their former Allston apartment building at 1325 Comm.

Kramer said that, when he was in school, he would write the word "aerosmith" all over his notebooks. The name had popped into his head after listening to Harry Nilsson's album Aerial Ballet, which featured jacket art of a circus performer jumping out of a biplane. Initially, Kramer's bandmates were unimpressed; they all thought he was referring to the Sinclair Lewis novel they were required to read in high school English class. "No, not Arrowsmith," Kramer explained. "A-E-R-O...Aerosmith."{{cite web|url=http://aeronewsdaily.com/blog/2008/03/14/steven-tyler-interview|title=Interview with Steven Tyler|publisher=AeroNewsDaily|date=March 13, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20080514055305/http://aeronewsdaily.com/blog/2008/03/14/steven-tyler-interview|archive-date=May 14, 2008|access-date=August 22, 2016}} The band settled upon this name after also considering "the Hookers" and "Spike Jones".Davis, pp. 106–107{{cite web|title=The Aerosmith History 1969–2002|work=MTV|url=http://www.mtv.com/onair/icon/timeline.jhtml|access-date=March 25, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080317194349/http://www.mtv.com/onair/icon/timeline.jhtml|archive-date=March 17, 2008|url-status=dead}} At some point prior to the weekend of December 25, 1971, they were known as "Fox Chase".{{Cite web|last=Blechl|first=Robert |title=A Half-Century Ago, Little-Known Band Called Aerosmith Plays Littleton|url=https://www.caledonianrecord.com/news/local/a-half-century-ago-little-known-band-called-aerosmith-plays-littleton/article_ca8e4e30-22c4-51bb-97fa-4e2304a1b0d9.html|access-date=2021-12-25|website=Caledonian Record|date=December 23, 2021 |language=en}}

Soon, the band hired Ray Tabano, a childhood friend of Tyler, as rhythm guitarist and began playing local shows.Davis, pp. 105, 111 Aerosmith played their first gig in Mendon, Massachusetts at Nipmuc Regional High School (now Miscoe Hill Middle School) on November 6, 1970. In 1971, Tabano was replaced by Brad Whitford, who also attended the Berklee School of Music, and was formerly a member of the band Earth Inc.Davis, pp. 128–131 Whitford, from Reading, Massachusetts, had played at Reading's AW Coolidge Middle School. Other than a period from July 1979 to April 1984, the line-up of Tyler, Perry, Hamilton, Kramer, and Whitford has stayed the same.{{cite web|url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p3508 |pure_url=yes}} | title = Aerosmith Biography |author=Stephen Thomas Erlewine |website = Allmusic |access-date=August 22, 2016}}

Aerosmith signed with Columbia in mid-1972 for a reported $125,000 and recorded their debut album, Aerosmith.Huxley, Martin (1995). p. 25 Released in January 1973, the album peaked at number 166. The album was straightforward rock and roll with well-defined blues influences, laying the groundwork for Aerosmith's signature blues rock sound.{{cite web|title=Aerosmith – Review|author=Stephen Thomas Erlewine|website=AllMusic|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r167|pure_url=yes}}}} Although the highest-charting single from the album was "Dream On" at number 59,Davis, p. 202 several tracks, such as "Mama Kin" and "Walkin' the Dog", would become staples of the band's live shows, and received airplay on rock radio.Davis, pp. 183, 190–191 The album reached gold status initially, eventually went on to sell two million copies, and was certified double platinum after the band reached mainstream success over a decade later.{{cite web|title=Searchable Database|publisher=Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA.com)|url=https://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070626050454/http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH|archive-date=June 26, 2007|df=mdy}} After constant touring, the band released their second album, Get Your Wings in 1974, the first of a string of multi-platinum albums produced by Jack Douglas.Davis, p. 206 This album included the rock radio hits "Same Old Song and Dance" and "Train Kept A-Rollin'", a cover done previously by the Yardbirds.Davis, p. 220

In 1975, Aerosmith released their third album, Toys in the Attic. Originally derided as Rolling Stones knockoffs in part due to the physical resemblance between Tyler and Mick Jagger,{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/aerosmith/biography|title=Aerosmith: Biography: Rolling Stone|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=August 22, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150330065344/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/aerosmith/biography|archive-date=March 30, 2015|url-status=dead}} Toys in the Attic showed that Aerosmith was a unique and talented band in their own right.{{cite web|title=Toys in the Attic – Review|author=Stephen Thomas Erlewine|website=AllMusic|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r169|pure_url=yes}} | access-date=April 3, 2008}} Toys in the Attic was an immediate success, starting with the single "Sweet Emotion", which became the band's first Top 40 hit.Davis, p. 244 This was followed by a successful re-release of "Dream On" which hit No. 6, becoming their best charting single of the 1970s.Davis, p. 247 "Walk This Way", re-released in 1976, reached the Top 10 in early 1977.

In 1976, Aerosmith's fourth album, Rocks, was released. Music historian Greg Prato described it as "captur[ing] Aerosmith at their most raw and rocking".{{cite web|title=Rocks – Review|first=Greg|last=Prato|website=AllMusic|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r171|pure_url=yes}}}} It went platinum swiftly and featured two Top 40 hits, "Last Child" and "Back in the Saddle", as well as the ballad "Home Tonight", which also charted.{{cite web|title=Aerosmith Chart Positions – Singles|website=AllMusic|url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p3508|pure_url=yes}} | access-date=April 1, 2008}}

In 1977, Aerosmith released their fifth album, Draw the Line. Its recording was affected by the band's excesses, but the record still had memorable moments. The title track charted just shy of the Top 40 and remains a live staple, and "Kings and Queens" also charted.

As the decade wore on, the fast-paced life of touring, recording, living together and using drugs began to take its toll on the band. Tyler and Perry often were called the Toxic Twins{{Cite web|url=https://loudwire.com/poll-best-aerosmith-song-vote/|title=Poll: What's the Best Aerosmith Song? - Vote Now|website=Loudwire|date=August 16, 2021 }} for their legendary intake of stimulants and heroin.

Night in the Ruts was released in November 1979, but managed to sell only enough records to be certified gold at the time, although it would eventually sell enough copies to be certified platinum by 1994. The only single the album spawned, a cover of "Remember (Walking in the Sand)" by the Shangri-Las, peaked at number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100. The tour for Night in the Ruts commenced shortly thereafter, but the band found themselves playing in smaller and smaller venues than before because their popularity was beginning to wane. Tyler's drug issues were starting to affect his performance and songwriting, and he reached rock bottom in 1980 when he collapsed on stage during a show in Portland, Maine and did not get up for the remainder of the set.Davis, p. 371 Also in 1980, Aerosmith released their first compilation album, Greatest Hits. While the compilation didn't chart very high initially, it gained popularity later, and went on to become the band's best selling album in the United States, with sales of 12 million copies. In the fall of 1980, Tyler was injured in a serious motorcycle accident, which left him hospitalized for two months and unable to tour or record well into 1981.Davis, pp. 373–374

Rock in a Hard Place was released on August 27, 1982. The album reached number 32 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Only one single charted, the aforementioned "Lightning Strikes", which peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. As with the tour for Night in the Ruts, Aerosmith was unable to book larger venues, and instead had to rely on filling clubs and theaters. At a homecoming arena show in Worcester, Massachusetts, Tyler and Perry got high backstage before the show. Tyler was so intoxicated that he collapsed onstage again.Davis, p. 400

Tyler recalled, "I made like $4 or $5 million by 1979, and by '83... I lost it all. I remember in the early days looking at another fucked-up rock 'n' roll star and thinking, 'I will never end up like that, man.' They had all these riches and blew it all. That would never happen to me... I forgot about reality and just loved shooting dope and coke. Stupid."{{cite journal|first= Ben |last= Raworth |title= Quote, Unquote: Steven Tyler |journal= FHM |date=April 1997|page=62}}

In 1984, Aerosmith embarked on a reunion tour called the Back in the Saddle Tour, which led to the live album Classics Live II. While concerts on the tour were well-attended, it was plagued with several incidents, mostly attributed to drug abuse by band members. With their drug problems still not behind them, the group was signed to Geffen Records and began working on a comeback.

In 1985, the band released the album Done with Mirrors. While the album did receive some positive reviews,{{cite web|title=Allmusic – Done with Mirrors – Review|author=Stephen Thomas Erlewine|website=AllMusic|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r177|pure_url=yes}} | access-date=April 1, 2008}} it only went gold and failed to produce a hit single or generate any widespread interest. Nevertheless, the band became a popular concert attraction once again, touring in support of Done with Mirrors, well into 1986.{{cite web|title=Aerosmith – Done With Mirrors Tour|publisher=Aero Force One|url=http://www.aeroforceone.com/index.cfm?pid=804189|access-date=April 1, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080420102217/http://www.aeroforceone.com/index.cfm?pid=804189|archive-date=April 20, 2008 |url-status=live}}

In 1986, Tyler completed a successful drug rehabilitation program after an intervention by his fellow band members, a doctor, and manager Tim Collins. The rest of the band members also completed drug rehab programs over the course of the next couple of years.Davis, pp. 1–15

Permanent Vacation was released in August 1987, becoming a major hit and the band's bestselling album in over a decade (selling 5 million copies in the US), with all three of its singles ("Dude (Looks Like a Lady)", "Angel", and "Rag Doll") reaching the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Tyler revealed in his autobiography that the album was "...the first one we ever did sober."Steven Tyler with David Dalton (2011) The Autobiography: Does the noise in my head bother you?. London: Harper Collins Publishers. page 242. The group went on a subsequent tour with labelmates Guns N' Roses (who have cited Aerosmith as a major influence), which was intense at times because of Aerosmith's new struggle to stay clean amidst Guns N' Roses' well-publicized, rampant drug use.Davis, pp. 460–461

Aerosmith's next album was even more successful. Pump, released in September 1989, featured three Top Ten singles: "Love in an Elevator", "Janie's Got a Gun", and "What It Takes", as well as the Top 30 "The Other Side", re-establishing the band as a serious musical force.{{cite web|title=Pump – Review|work=Blender|url=http://www.blender.com/guide/reviews.aspx?id=2200|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081216114257/http://www.blender.com/guide/reviews.aspx?id=2200|archive-date=December 16, 2008}} Pump was a critical and commercial success, eventually selling 7 million copies, spawning several music videos that were in regular rotation on MTV, and achieving four-star ratings from major music magazines.{{cite magazine|title=Pump: Aerosmith: Review: Rolling Stone|first=Kim|last=Neely|magazine=Rolling Stone|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/300286/review/6212939/pump|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071112182137/http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/300286/review/6212939/pump|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 12, 2007|access-date=March 31, 2008}} Pump ranked as the fourth-bestselling album of 1990.{{cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/year-end/1990/the-billboard-200|title=Billboard 200 Albums – Year-End 1990|website=Billboard.com|access-date=June 19, 2017}} The band also won its first Grammy in the category of Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, for "Janie's Got a Gun".{{cite web|title=Grammy Award winners – Aerosmith|publisher=NARAS (Grammy.com)|url=http://www.grammy.com/nominees/search?artist=%22aerosmith%22&title=&year=All&genre=31|access-date=March 25, 2008}} In addition, the video for "Janie's Got a Gun" won two Video Music Awards and was ranked as one of the 100 greatest videos of all time by Rolling Stone, MTV, and VH1.

Though many critics were unimpressed by the focus on the subsequent interchangeable power-ballads in promoting the album, all three ("Cryin'", "Amazing", and "Crazy") proved to be huge successes on radio and MTV. Tyler's daughter, Liv Tyler, was featured in the "Crazy" video.{{cite web|title=Liv Tyler – Profile |publisher=Eonline.com |url=http://www.eonline.com/celebrities/profile/index.jsp?uuid=2e1a53c6-a0d4-4499-9956-1c8c5e171367 |access-date=April 4, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080402201449/http://www.eonline.com/celebrities/profile/index.jsp?uuid=2e1a53c6-a0d4-4499-9956-1c8c5e171367 |archive-date=April 2, 2008 |url-status=dead}} The band won two Grammy Awards for songs from this album in the category of Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal: for "Livin' on the Edge" in 1994 and "Crazy" in 1995.

Nine Lives was released in March 1997. Reviews were mixed, and Nine Lives initially fell down the charts, although it had a long chart life and sold double platinum in the United States alone, fueled by its singles, "Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)", the ballad "Hole in My Soul", and the crossover-pop smash "Pink" (which won the band their fourth Grammy Award in 1999 in the Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal category). It was followed by the over two-year-long Nine Lives Tour, which was plagued by problems including Tyler injuring his leg at a concert.Davis, p. 521

In 1998, in the midst of setbacks during the Nine Lives Tour, the band released the single "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing". The song is a love song written by Diane Warren for the 1998 film Armageddon, which starred Liv Tyler.{{cite web|title=Armageddon On Top|publisher=Yahoo!|url=http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/12034696|access-date=March 29, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060524201523/http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/12034696|archive-date=May 24, 2006}} The song became Aerosmith's first and only number 1 single when it debuted at the top position on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed on top of the charts for four weeks.

In the early months of 2013, an act was forwarded into the Hawaii legislature entitled the Steven Tyler Act (Hawaii Senate Bill 465). The act would give more privacy to public figures such as government officials and celebrities on vacation. Tyler and numerous other celebrities all lobbied for it. The legislation would give public figures the right to sue paparazzi for taking unwanted photographs. The bill's sponsor is Maui state legislator J. Kalani English. The bill was cleared through the Judiciary Committee on Friday, February 8, 2013.[https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/12/opinion/hawaii-grapples-with-the-steven-tyler-act.html Hawaii grapples with the Steven Tyler act] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170717071513/http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/12/opinion/hawaii-grapples-with-the-steven-tyler-act.html |date=July 17, 2017 }}, nytimes.com, February 12, 2013; accessed April 11, 2014.

Tyler has been known to have an androgynous persona both on and offstage such as flamboyant clothes and makeup. In his 2011 memoir Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?, Tyler wrote:

After the release of the documentary Look Away, it was discussed on Instagram by Courtney Love, where she supported some of the claims made, commenting that Tyler also "adopted" another 13-year-old girl in a similar fashion.{{Cite news |last=Ozden |first=Elif |date=5 April 2022 |title=Courtney Love Targets Axl Rose, Steven Tyler, And Jimmy Page For Underage Affairs |url=https://rockcelebrities.net/courtney-love-targets-axl-rose-steven-tyler-and-jimmy-page-for-underage-affairs/ |access-date=22 September 2022 |work=rockcelebrities.net}}

In 2006, immediately after a two-hour performance in Florida, Tyler got into an argument during which he yelled. He awoke the next morning to find that he had a hoarse voice. On March 22, 2006, the Washington Post reported that Tyler would undergo surgery for an "undisclosed medical condition".{{cite news |title = Aerosmith's Steven Tyler to Undergo Surgery |url = https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/21/AR2006032102130_Technorati.html |newspaper = The Washington Post |access-date = July 28, 2013 |date = March 22, 2006 |url-status=live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151019015918/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/21/AR2006032102130_Technorati.html |archive-date = October 19, 2015 |df = mdy-all }} A statement from Tyler's publicist read in part, "Despite Aerosmith's desire to keep the tour going as long as possible, [Tyler's] doctors advised him not to continue performing to give his voice time to recover." Aerosmith's remaining North American tour dates in 2006 on the Rockin' the Joint Tour were subsequently canceled.{{cite web |last = Robertson |first = Jessica |title = Aerosmith's Tyler Set for Surgery |url = https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/aerosmiths-tyler-set-for-surgery-20060322 |publisher = Rolling Stone |access-date = July 28, 2013 |date = March 22, 2006 |url-status=live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130203052119/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/aerosmiths-tyler-set-for-surgery-20060322 |archive-date = February 3, 2013 |df = mdy-all }}

The cause was diagnosed as a ruptured blood vessel in his throat, which was successfully sealed off using a laser by Dr. Steven M.

Tyler's first public performance after the surgery was July 3–4, 2006, with Joe Perry at the Hatch Shell in Boston, with the Boston Pops Orchestra. The duo sang "Dream On", "Walk This Way" and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" as part of the Boston Pops July 4 Fireworks Spectacular. Tyler's throat surgery was featured in 2007 on an episode of the National Geographic Channel series, Incredible Human Machine.

In a September 2006 interview with Access Hollywood, Tyler revealed that he had been suffering from hepatitis C for the past 11 years. He was diagnosed with the disease in 2003 and had undergone extensive treatment from 2003 to 2006, including 11 months of interferon therapy, which he said was "agony". The disease is usually spread through blood-to-blood contact, or by sharing used needles.[https://web.archive.org/web/20110513093157/http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/15020874/ns/today-entertainment/t/steven-tyler-reveals-battle-hepatitis-c#.TxxuJvmrqSo Steven Tyler reveals battle with hepatitis C — Entertainment — Access Hollywood] .

They thought, 'Get the lead singer sober, and all our problems would be over'...I am grateful and owe a thanks to them for my sobriety". Tyler added: "I have had many times in my life where I just couldn't handle — whether it was a marriage or my addiction had reared its ugly head — and the rest of the guys in the band are not unlike that. But we have all seen each other through it, and we are here today".

In September 2023, Tyler suffered a vocal injury during a concert from Aerosmith's farewell tour.{{cite web |last1=Harrison |first1=Scoop |title=Aerosmith Retire from Touring Due to Steven Tyler's Vocal Injury |url=https://consequence.net/2024/08/aerosmith-retire-touring-steven-tyler-injury/ |publisher=Consequence of Sound |access-date=August 3, 2024 |date=August 2, 2024 |quote=Previously, Aerosmith postponed their planned farewell tour after Tyler sustained vocal cord damage and fractured his larynx during a concert in September 2023.}} In August 2024, the group was forced to cancel the tour and retire from touring after it was determined that Tyler could not sufficiently recover from the injury.
