Bryson Tiller just ended his 34 city T R A P S O U L tour this past weekend with a show in his hometown of Louisville. The singer received a special honor that day (March 12), as his hometown gave him a key to the city. They even went so far as to declare March 12 as Bryson Tiller Day. The Kentucky native got a special visit at his show from Detroit native Big Sean, who came to show support of Tiller. Tiller has spoken in the past about how he taught himself to sing at a young age.
“[I listened to] a lot of R. Kelly,” Tiller told XXL. “My uncle used to play like 112, Dru Hill and all those super ’90s R&B groups. Then I got into Omarion. That’s when I was like, aight cool, I want to sing now. So I started teaching myself how to sing. I started mimicking what I heard on the songs and stuff and I would try to do it. I never really sang before that. When I heard all the stuff my uncle was playing and Omarion’s debut album, it made me want to get serious. I would record into a recording device and play it back, just trying to get better and better. I was the only person at first and then eventually I would sing for my little brother.”
