R&B SINGER/SONGWRITER TYUS RELEASES HIS NEW 6 SONG EP

PHASES TODAY

The music showcases a unique R&B style that TYuS has carefully cultivated, blending nineties-style soundscapes with 21^st century hashtag-worthy lyricism. For TYuS, life’s cycle is a series of Phases. “My life in particular is always going through phases,” he says. “Ever since I could remember, I was always moving from one phase to the next. That really influences the music. This is currently a growing phase for me. It’s time to go all in. So, that’s what I did on this EP.”

The Portland-born and Los Angeles-based singer has grown a steady buzz and strong following since his emergence on the scene in 2015, racking up more than 15 million Soundcloud plays and more than 90K followers. His 2016 EP Never Forget pulled in 8 million streams on Spotify and averaged 212K monthly listeners on the platform. Following his success and critical acclaim for Never Forget, TYuS relocated to Los Angeles this past summer and jumped into the studio with Hit-Boy to create Phases.

“He brought the sprinkles on top with a nice cherry,” smiles TYuS. “I usually recorded the majority of my work alone, but Hit-Boy added another level of creativity. He’s a young legend out here and a finisher. Years ago, when I was still recording in the garage, I remember punching up his tutorials on YouTube. He really played a big part in my musical life. It’s a surreal moment to bring everything full circle.”
