J. Tillman, also known by his stage name Father John Misty, is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a rich history in folk music. Before adopting his now-famous moniker in 2012, Joshua Tillman released several albums under his own name, cultivating a devoted following through his melodic storytelling and hauntingly introspective lyrics. Born on May 3, 1981, Tillman spent his early years in Rockville, Maryland, before eventually moving to Seattle, where his music career took off.

Tillman's early works, such as "Minor Works" (2006) and "Cancer and Delirium" (2007), set the foundation for a growing discography that would delve into the complex interplay of love, loss, and existential musings. His later albums, including "Vacilando Territory Blues" (2009), "Year In The Kingdom" (2009), and "Singing Ax" (2010), showcase a maturation in his sound, furthering his reputation as a contemplative soul in the indie-folk scene. Tillman served as the drummer for the indie folk band Fleet Foxes from 2008 to 2011, which significantly raised his profile and provided a launching pad for his subsequent solo successes as Father John Misty. His ability to blend poetic lyricism with folk sensibilities has established J. Tillman as an evocative and enduring voice in modern American folk music.
