Singer-songwriter/MC Tiawa's (pronounced: tea-ah-wa) distinctive, laidback vocals blend melodies and neo-soul sensibilities with raw storytelling and thought-provoking lyricism.
Tiawa’s debut album ‘Moonlit Train’ released on Tru Thoughts Recordings is a conceptual record that maps a metaphorical train journey through healing and liberation. Gently easing between soul, 90s hip-hop and Latin-folk, the inspiration for the LP comes from the rebellious spirit of reggae, the pace of lyricism in reggaeton, and the romanticism of doo-wop.
Fusing soulful vocals with the jagged edge of a rap-styled flow, Tiawa’s vocal delivery is perfectly matched to producer, collaborator and multi-instrumentalist Jack-Chi aka Jack Kingslake, a Bristol-veteran who cut his teeth as a producer in the city. After having made an assured debut on iconic dubwise-label Roots Garden with the reggae-riddim slant “Pain Killa”, which was championed by legendary DJ David Rodigan on BBC1Xtra. Tiawa has laid the foundation for her timeless yet graceful sound, and a lyrical maturity that confutes her youth.
