FKA Twigs
British singer, songwriter, producer, dancer, and director Tahliah Debrett Barnett, aka FKA Twigs, kicked off her showbiz career as a backup dancer for artists such as Jessie J (appearing in the videos for “Do It Like a Dude” and “Price Tag”), Kylie Minogue, Plan B, Wretch 32, Dionne Bromfield, and Ed Sheeran. Her stage name came from this period, referencing the way her bones pop and crack while dancing. Her music combines electronic and experimental R&B with intimate lyrics and ethereal vocals, to present something akin to art-pop punctuated by percussive industrial sounds. The youngest recipient ever to win NME’s Godlike Genius Award, her videos and concerts feature intricate choreography (including showing off her wushu and pole dancing skills), and visuals inspired by high-fashion, modern art, and cinematography. She’s touring in support of her fourth album Eusexua Afterglow, released last November.
