Born and raised in London – via Stockholm, Spain and briefly New York – to a mixed musical family, singer TYSON had an unusual upbringing on the road. Her music draws from these experiences, the outcome being a celestial, interplanetary R&B that is both reflective and soulful, yet futuristic.
Formerly one half of band Panes, whose self-titled 2014 EP marked a London sound of its time, TYSON has since collaborated with London-based artists such as Lord Tusk, CKTRL and Dean Blunt. She released her solo debut, the double single “White / Seven” in 2019, succeeded by her 2020 Moonlighting Mixtape, produced by Oscar Scheller.
TYSON revealed her own sound for the first time with her debut solo EP Pisces Problems, released in April 2021 on LMP Recordings, an imprint that she co-founded as part of the Ladies Music Pub collective for gender minorities in the music industry. The video for lead single “Tuesday” was directed by the Bafta-nominated director Akinola Davies and features TYSON soaring over London, circling the iconic Trellick Tower on a pink fluffy luck dragon. With support from Annie Mac, Gilles Peterson and Benji B and a renewed vision for her artistry under her belt, her story is still unfolding.

TYSON ble oppdratt i en musikalsk familie – i London, Stockholm, Spania og en svipptur innom New York. Oppveksten på veien var uvanlig og har fôret inn i musikken hennes, en utforskende og galaktisk R&B som er både sjelfull, tilbakeskuende og futuristisk på én og samme tid.
Hun var tidligere en halvdel av bandet Panes, som med sin selvtitulerte EP fra 2014 malte et øyeblikksbilde av London i sin tid. Teppet gikk først opp for TYSONs egen musikk i april 2021, da debut-EPen Pisces Problems kom på LMP Recordings – den nye plateselskapsavdelingen til kollektivet Ladies Music Pub for kvinner og kjønnsminoriteter i musikkbransjen. Videoen for singlen «Tuesday» ble laget av Bafta-nominerte Akinola Davies og viser TYSON flyvende over London, sirklende rundt Trellick Tower på en rosa drage. Med støtte fra Annie Mac, Gilles Peterson og Benji B, er det tydelig at TYSONs karriere er på stigende rus.
