"Fresh voices are hard to find, but London newcomer TSHA is as bright and unique as they come..." - Billboard

Hotly tipped by everyone from Annie Mac, Bonobo and Gorillaz to Billboard, NME, Crack, Mixmag and DJ Mag, London-based artist TSHA is rapidly emerging as one of the most exciting talents coming out of the UK.

She begins the new year following a blistering 2021 that saw the release of her celebrated "OnlyL" EP on Ninja Tune; high-profile festival appearances including a slot on the main stage of Field Day alongside Bicep, Floating Points and Ross From Friends; and gracing magazine covers and billboards across the UK and US for the likes of Mixmag, Spotify and Amazon UK.

Entirely self-taught, TSHA first released her debut EP "Dawn" in 2018, setting out her stall as an artist with an ear for warm, groove-laden basslines and bright, melodic hooks. Her follow-up single "Sacred" immediately caught the ear of Simon Green aka Bonobo, who included it on his "fabric presents" compilation album. This was followed by 2019's "Moonlight" EP on Counter Records which marked a turning point for the young artist as she began to garner critical acclaim from peers, press and fans alike.

Her follow up for Ninja Tune -- 2020's "Flowers" EP -- continued to lay-out the multitude of styles that TSHA finds herself drawn to. Its lead single 'Sister' is a vibrant piece of music packed with melody and emotion, tinged with melancholic beauty, and written during lockdown after finding out she had an older half sister by her estranged father who she is also estranged from. Elsewhere on the release TSHA demonstrated her impressive depth and range with 'Renegade' and 'Change' both of which channeled an ever-growing electronic pop sensibility in her music, with the latter also featuring British singer songwriter Gabrielle Aplin. The EP's final track 'Demba' was another dancefloor sureshot: a collaboration with Malian griot music group Trio Da Kali, discovered during conversations with Dr. Lucy Duran -- a professor of music at SOAS University of London who specialises in West African music -- who recommended TSHA listen to vocalist Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté, one of the most revered musicians in the Malian griot tradition.

Praise for the release came from the likes of Billboard, who said that "it shimmers and shines, with TSHA's clean, layered production," whilst NME described it as "emotion-filled electronic anthems from a star in the making." Elsewhere, Dancing Astronaut hailed TSHA's "delicate studio touch and distinct ability to blend influences from across the spectrum painting a picture of a producer mature beyond her years," naming her one of their 'Artists To Watch in 2021.' Further support came from the likes of NPR, Resident Advisor, Mixmag, NYLON, DJ Mag, and many more, with additional end-of-year highlighting from Billboard -- who named 'Change' one of their dance tracks of the year -- Beatportal, Paste and Earmilk.

Most recently, she returned to Ninja Tune for her highly anticipated "OnlyL" EP, which followed a stellar run for the young British artist including the launch of her own bi-monthly 'Jackfruit Radio' show on Apple Music (featuring guests Elkka, Daniel Avery, Effy, Bradley Zero and Maribou State so far) with TSHA also named BBC Radio 1's "Future Artist" for January 2021 and "Star of 2020" by BBC Introducing earlier this year, as well as delivering her debut BBC Essential Mix and a coveted Minimix for Annie Mac.

Continuing to demonstrate the breadth of her palette, "OnlyL" comprised three tracks that spanned the title track's classy electronic pop -- an instant earworm with vocals from NIMMO aka Sarah Nimmo and Reva Gauntlett, the "Brit Funk"-channeling 'Power' -- which plays to another of TSHA's loves: club music, and was later remixed by the legendary duo Floorplan AKA Robert Hood alongside his daughter Lyric Hood, and 'I Know' -- a perfect marriage of live musicianship and electronics built around a gorgeous hang drum motif.

Released in August 2021 the EP saw TSHA named Mixmag's Cover Star for that months issue, grace Spotify's iconic NMF billboard in New York's Times Square and the cover of their flagship 'mint' playlist, with 'OnlyL' also taking #1 spot on Apple Music's 'Loops,' and 'Power' named Amazon Music's #1 Electronic track of the year, placing her on their London billboard. TSHA was also Apple's 'Up Next UK' artist in June and was on the cover of New Music Daily and DanceXL with Zane Lowe describing TSHA as "An absolute club superstar. DJ, producer... one of the most exciting voices making club records," as well as being highlighted in Spotify UK's 'EQUAL' programme as 'Artist of the Month.' Additional support on the EP came from the likes of FADER, Resident Advisor, Mixmag, DJ Mag, Dancing Astronaut, XLR8R, Magnetic Mag, This Song Is Sick, Vinyl Factory, Northern Transmissions and more, with NME hailing the her "pop songwriting flair" in their 4/5 review.

A highly in-demand DJ, TSHA has played across venues and festivals such as at the iconic Printworks in London (alongside Hunee & Antal (Rush Hour) and Motor City Drum Ensemble), The Warehouse Project (including the recent Four Tet curated showcase that also featured the likes of DJ EZ, Floating Points, Ben UFO, Avalon Emerson and Goldie), and London's Field day where she played the main stage alongside Bicep, Floating Points and Ross From Friends.

TSHA has also been commissioned to remix the likes of J Balvin, Foals, Lianne La Havas, Ellie Goulding, Throwing Snow and many more.
