Bryson Tiller

Born on 2 January 1993 in Louisville, Kentucky, rapper Bryson Tiller started out his career in 2011 with the release of his mixtape Killer Instinct Vol 1. By 2014 he was attracting serious industry attention and after releasing the single "Don't" in 2015, it peaked at number 13 on the Hot 100 and was subsequently remixed by artists such as K Camp, Mila J, Sevyn Streeter and D.R.A.M. The success of "Don't" prompted 'Rolling Stone' magazine to include Bryson Tiller in their list of '10 Artists You Need to Know'. He has described his music as "... trap and hip hop-influenced R&B". 'Trap' is the subgenre of rap which originated in the 1990s in the southern states of America and is defined by a style of electronic drumming and bleak, gritty lyrical content. After his 2015 debut album Trapsoul reached number eight on the Billboard Charts, he was given the keys to the city by mayor Greg Fisher, who also named 12 March 'Bryson Tiller Day'. His second album True to Self debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in 2017. In the same year, he collaborated with DJ Khaled and Rihanna on the BET Award-winning "Wild Thoughts," which was included on DJ Khaled's album Grateful. He enlisted the talents of Drake and Big Sean for his third studio album Anniversary, which reached number five in the US, and unveiled his self-titled fourth album in 2024, which spawned a Top 20 hit single in "Whatever She Wants". The album performed moderately in comparison to its predecessors, debuting at number twelve on the Billboard 200. That summer, Tiller and Chris Brown appeared on Jeremih's single "Wait on It". On October 2, 2025 was released Solace & the Vices, featuring guests such as BossMan Dlow, Rick Ross, Luh Tyler, BabyDrill, Bun B, Plies and T-Pain.
