Scouse infused alt-pop inspired by the likes of Paramore, Blondie and HAIM, with deeply personal lyrics and catchy hooks. That's the sound of Tilly Louise.
Another artist with a true DIY spirit, Tilly started her own label ‘The Beautiful People Club’ as an outlet for herself and other local artists. She's gone on to rack up over 3 million streams on Spotify, headlined her own UK tour, and performed at Y Not Festival.
With two EPs and a strong catalogue of singles under her belt, 2026 promises more new music with the above 'Root Cause', along with more live dates in the diary.
Watch this space, @tillylouisemusic is on the rise.
