tiLLie

Welcome to the glitter-doused, girl power world of edgy guitars + ear-worm melodies that is tiLLie. After catching the ear of Machine Gun Kelly + Kevin Lyman (creator of the Vans Warped Tour) during a sold out acoustic performance in Los Angeles in December of 2016, the upward spiral of multi-instrumentalist and songwriter tiLLie cannot be stopped. Her infectious songs might seep into your head but this self-proclaimed ‘anti-pop star’ transcends the predisposed boundaries + limits of the genre with her diy + hands-all-over approach. Her collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly has amassed over 250k plays, and with a run on this summer’s VANS WARPED TOUR + a song on KUNGS’ (UMG) debut record, tiLLie’s takeover is only just beginning.The second single of a three part series, ‘Save Yourself’, is out now. As a teenager in Atlanta, singer/songwriter Tillie played basement shows with her punk band. After a brief stint at NYU’s prestigious Clive Davis Institute, Tillie followed her musical dreams to Los Angeles. One of her key career moments happened in late 2016, when Machine Gun Kelly saw her perform live and asked her to collaborate on a cover of the Foo Fighters’ hit “Everlong.” Another audience member at that serendipitous show was Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman, who invited her to join the upcoming summer 2017 line-up—no small feat considering it was the 24-year-old’s first-ever tour. Prelude Press named her one of the “Warped Tour Newcomers You Need to Know Before This Summer” and More.com listed her as one of the top 10 “Under-The-Radar Female Bands and Artists You Need To Hear Now.” Tillie, who is known for her catchy lyrics, honey-sweet voice and powerful bass lines, is currently wrapping up her debut album. Substream magazine has predicted a meteoric rise to fame, warning its readers, “Consider this the absolute last chance you have to climb aboard the Tillie hype train before it leaves the station for good and ascends into the pop-rock crossover stratosphere. This isn’t even a matter of ‘if’ in our minds, but when.” Her Twitter handle might be @whoistillie, but that question won’t be unanswered for long.
