Bryson Tiller is an American singer-songwriter from Louisville, Kentucky.

Bryson’s success didn’t happen overnight. Bryson released Killer Instinct back in 2011. At the same time, he worked two jobs whilst also dealing with relationship issues. At one point, Bryson even considered applying for a third job to provide for his newborn daughter, Harley, who is featured in the True To Self cover art.

Bryson’s life changed forever with the release of his breakout single “Don’t,” which he dropped on SoundCloud in 2014 and has since been streamed over 35 million times. With the release of this track, Tiller began receiving attention from music industry insiders, receiving early co-signs from super-producer Timbaland and rapper Drake. This led to multiple major label deals for Bryson, one of those being an OVO contract from Drizzy, but Bryson surprisingly declined the offer. Later, Bryson chose to sign a creative partnership with RCA Records on August 25, 2015.

Since the release of “Don’t,” Bryson has dropped three albums: his debut studio album, T R A P S O U L, in 2015, True To Self in 2017, and A N N I V E R S A R Y in 2020, precisely five years after the release of his debut album.
