Who is Bryson Tiller? The Trapsoul singer headlining BREDx Abu Dhabi
A decade after Trapsoul, the Louisville R&B star shares the Etihad Live bill with Central Cee on 14 November.
Bryson Tiller headlines BREDx at Etihad Live on Saturday 14 November alongside Central Cee. The date comes in a busy stretch for him: after the tenth anniversary of his debut album Trapsoul, he announced the 61-date Neo Trapsoul world tour, Black America Web reported.
Tiller was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on 2 January 1993. His breakthrough song Don't began as a SoundCloud upload in 2014, got a full release in May 2015, peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has been certified five times platinum.
Trapsoul arrived on 2 October 2015, climbed to No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and is certified triple platinum. Black America Web says its moody production and open-hearted writing helped redefine modern R&B, and its single Exchange earned him a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Song.
His second album, True to Self, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in May 2017. Anniversary followed on 2 October 2020, exactly five years after Trapsoul, and his self-titled album in April 2024 produced Whatever She Wants, a top 20 Hot 100 hit.
Many listeners also know his voice from Wild Thoughts, the 2017 DJ Khaled single with Rihanna that reached No. 2 on the Hot 100. His most recent project is the double album Solace & The Vices, with The Vices released in August 2025.
