A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Bryson Tiller began his career in 2011 but gained widespread recognition with his 2015 single "Don't." The track's success, peaking at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, led to his contract with RCA Records. His debut studio album, T R A P S O U L, was released on 2. Oktober 2015, and became a commercial and critical success, entering the top ten of the Billboard 200 chart. The album defined the "trap soul" subgenre and also included the Grammy-nominated single "Exchange" and "Sorry Not Sorry," establishing Tiller as a major new voice in contemporary R&B.
