BIOGRAPHY
Tills is an East London artist based in Newham whose musical roots trace back to childhood, when part of her upbringing in Melbourne saw her teach herself piano and guitar while busking outside supermarkets. Returning to London, she pursued performing arts through a BTEC and joined the hip-hop collective Common Roots, an experience that helped her build the confidence to launch a solo career.
Her sound draws on rap and R&B icons spanning the noughties through the 2010s, including Avelino, Lady Leshurr, Missy Elliott and Nelly Furtado. In 2024 she released the single 'VIM', which received coverage from Fabuk Magazine, WORDPLAY and HOEZINE, and her rising profile has included a co-sign from Stormzy.
WHY THEY'RE COOL
Tills recasts British rap nostalgia for a new generation, bending quick-witted bars and expressive vocals into fresh shapes that carry real emotional weight. Her path from busking in Melbourne to earning recognition from Stormzy reflects a versatile artist equally comfortable performing with live bands, hosting an all-female rappers' sound clash, or delivering a freestyle for Red Bull. That range, paired with lyrics that acknowledge the nuance and pain of personal growth, makes her a distinctive voice in the current wave of London rap and R&B.
