About FKA twigs

Tahliah Barnett (born 16 January, 1988), known by the stage name FKA twigs (“FKA” is reported, but has been denied, to mean “Formerly Known As”) is a British dancer, director, composer, singer, and producer.

She got her start in music with ballet and singing on tracks recorded in a Jamaican Club. Her electronically tinged, haunting music is reminiscent of the work of Björk, Portishead, The xx, Tricky, and Massive Attack.

Before she had a career in music, she was an extremely sought-after pop-video dancer in London. She has appeared in videos by Taio Cruz, Jessie J, Ed Sheeran, Kylie Minogue and others.

Her first extended play, EP1, was self-released on Bandcamp in 2012 under the stage name “twigs,” referring to the way her joints crack as she dances. EP2 was released the following year under her current stage name after she was forced to change it after the band The Twigs were upset with the similarity of her name to theirs.

FKA twigs then worked with Arca (who also produced EP2), Dev Hynes, Sampha, Paul Epworth and others for her 2014 debut album, LP1.

In 2015, twigs dropped her third extended play, M3LL155X, which was inspired by a “spontaneous creative period” immediately following the completion of her debut studio album. The extended play, pronounced “Melissa,” is named after her “personal female energy,” but Twigs assures that it is not an alter-ego.

Five years after LP1, twigs returned with a sophomore album, titled MAGDALENE in 2019, after releasing a standalone single, “Good To Love” in 2016, and being featured on a track with A$AP Rocky, named “Fukk Sleep” in 2018.
