tiLLie is a genre-defying singer that BBC Radio’s Jack Saunders hails as “a maverick artist born from the gates of Hell.” Self-categorizing her music as ‘Nightmare Pop,’ tiLLie effortlessly blends bright, ear-worm pop melodies over brooding lyrics tackling cutting subjects originating from her southern upbringing – religious trauma, American dystopia, surviving abuse – amidst the landscape of hard-hitting instrumentals rooted in nu metal and 90’s electronic sensibilities.
In addition to co-signs and co-writes with Machine Gun Kelly, Bishop Briggs, Lights, Evan Bogart, and Kevin Lyman (creator of Vans Warped Tour), she has also received editorial support from Alternative Press, Fader, Spin Magazine, and more. Her recent releases have earned the support of Clara Amfo and Jack Saunders at BBC Radio 1, receiving ‘Tune of The Week’ on the Future Artists program, as well as radio support from Ted Stryker at Alt98.7. She’s received notable features among Spotify playlists such as Misfits 2.0, SALT, Fresh Finds, and more. Her single, “bLeSs uR hEaRt” went viral on Tik Tok, amassing over 8.3 million views, and her recent single, “mOmS bAsEmeNt,” features production by Jordan Fish of Bring Me the Horizon.
As she finishes her next EP, tiLLie continues to carve out a new space for herself in the music industry, where she will surely be acclaimed as an alt-pop trailblazer.
