Bryson Djuan Tiller, born January 2, 1993, in Louisville, Kentucky, is an influential American singer, rapper, and songwriter, known for pioneering the “trap soul” genre by blending R&B with elements of hip-hop. His musical journey began in 2011 with the release of his mixtape Killer Instinct Vol. 1. However, it was his 2014 debut single “Don’t” that catapulted him to fame, reaching number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning a septuple platinum certification from the RIAA. This success led to his signing with RCA Records.

Tiller’s debut studio album, Trapsoul (2015), was a major breakthrough, debuting at number eight on the Billboard 200 and producing hit singles like “Exchange” and “Sorry Not Sorry.” The album achieved triple platinum status and earned Grammy nominations for Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Performance. His follow-up albums, True to Self (2017) and Anniversary (2020), further solidified his place in the music world, with True to Self debuting at number one on the Billboard 200.

In 2024, Tiller released his highly anticipated fourth album, Bryson Tiller, which included the hit single “Whatever She Wants,” charting in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. Throughout his career, he has received numerous accolades, including two BET Awards for Best New Artist and Best Male R&B/Pop Artist. Tiller’s career has been marked by a low public profile, as he remains a private figure while balancing his personal life and evolving music career.
