Tawiah

New work 'Ertha', a collaboration with Al Moore | Out on the 18th November 2022. Live album launch show | Bush Hall, London | 16th November 2022.

Tawiah describes her music as spiritual and soulful, and the sharing of it as her truest purpose. The vestiges of Tawiah’s early church vocal training contrast subtly against a distinctive South London accent, beautiful melodies and pure vocals all attribute to her original, undeniable sound. With a well earned reputation at the vanguard of the British alternative soul movement and as one of the country’s most exciting live acts, Tawiah continues to deliver heartfelt music that connects deeply with her fans.

A multi-instrumentalist-singer-songwriter, singing from a young age in church and at the BRIT school were she studied alongside Amy Winehouse and Adele amongst others. Over the past decade Tawiah has self-released two EP’s; In Jodi’s Bedroom (2007) and Recreate (2017) which she toured with Moses Sumney, in 2019 she released her debut album Starts Again. This Spring (2022) Tawiah toured a preview of new work Ertha with Michael Kiwanuka on his UK tour. Tawiah has worked in collaboration with artists including: Dev Hynes, Kindness, Mark Ronson, Cinematic Orchestra and Kano. She is also a TV and film composer, most recently composing a score for an ITV drama due for release later this year. Her work is championed by Gilles Peterson, Zane Lowe, Benji B, Nemone, iD, The Guardian and tons more.
