Artistry

Influences

Omarion 2018.png

Omarion (left) and The-Dream (right) were two of Tiller's biggest inspirations while growing up.

Tiller has cited singer Omarion as his mega influence, "[My uncle] put me on Omarion's first album, and that was the first album that made me want to start singing. I started listening to him daily and singing what I heard." [57] Singer The-Dream has inspired him to become a lyricist, "I started listening to The-Dream a lot. That's when I really got into writing songs. I like the way he put lyrics and makes his songs. So I was like, all right, and I just started writing. That's when I started wanting to be a songwriter. I never really wanted to be an artist. I just really wanted to write songs. But of course I can't get placement unless I demo the songs." [58]

His other influences include R. Kelly, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, and Drake. [59] [60] In addition, Tiller listed Jazmine Sullivan, Usher, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., and Mary J. Blige as impactful to his musical socialization. [61]

Musical style

Tiller has described his music as "trap and hip hop-influenced R&B, the perfect marriage between hip hop and R&B." [59] Tiller also raps saying "There are some things I can say rapping that I can't say singing". [62] Critics have compared Tiller's musical style to Drake, Jeremih, PartyNextDoor and Tory Lanez. [63] [58] During the recording of True to Self, Tiller struggled with depression, which according to him can be heard in the music and was the reason of the album's disappointing commercial performance. [64] On his blend of R&B and rap, Tiller explained: "R&B is my first love and it always will be. I fell in love with hip-hop and rap music through Lil Wayne. Don't get me wrong, I love Wayne, but you know, I heard only the radio singles [..] So I said, 'Damn. Let me mix it up a little bit'". [65]

Public image

Tiller has stated he will "probably never" do video interviews because he wants to be a "shadowy figure". [66] According to Justin Charity of The Ringer , "Tiller's lack of a full-time public persona is one of the young R&B singer's most endearing qualities". [67]

Personal life

Tiller has two daughters. As of 2018, he is in a relationship with Lauren Edwards the mother of his second child. [68] Tiller graduated high school in June 2020, through Iroquois High School in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. [41]
