Bryson Tiller

Bryson Tiller is an American R&B singer and rapper whose arrival redefined the sound of modern R&B. Hailing from Louisville, he began releasing music in 2011 with the mixtape Killer Instinct Vol. 1, but it was the 2015 single “Don’t” that cracked the mainstream—reaching number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning quintuple platinum certification. That momentum carried into his debut album, Trapsoul, a landmark project that entered the Billboard 200 top ten, went triple platinum, and spawned hits like the Grammy-nominated “Exchange” and “Sorry Not Sorry.”

Tiller’s career shows a steady ascent. In 2017, he joined DJ Khaled and Rihanna on “Wild Thoughts,” which peaked at number two on the Hot 100, while his own True to Self debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Subsequent projects—Anniversary (2020), his self-titled effort (2024), and Solace & The Vices (2025)—kept him in the upper reaches of the charts, with tracks like “Whatever She Wants” reaffirming his commercial reach. In March 2016, Louisville honored one of its own when Mayor Greg Fischer presented Tiller with the key to the city. His trophy case also includes two BET Awards and four Grammy nominations, two for his collaborations with H.E.R., highlighting the breadth of his influence across contemporary R&B and hip-hop.
