Tourist, the stage name of William Phillips, is a Grammy Award-winning British electronic music producer and songwriter whose introspective and emotive take on electronic music has propelled him to international acclaim. Phillips' work under the Tourist moniker debuted in the early 2010s, earning the artist a reputation for crafting lush soundscapes that blend elements of house, ambient, and downtempo genres. His keen ear for melody and atmospheric production has led to a discography brimming with heartfelt electronica that resonates well beyond the dance floor.

Tourist's recent body of work continues to showcase his evolution as an artist, with releases like "EST," "Second Nature," and "A Little Bit Further" underscoring his dedication to nuanced, emotive soundscapes that engage listeners. Tracks like "Howl," both in its original form and its Chill Mix, exude a contemplative energy, while remixes of his music by artists such as Yu Su, Waleed, and Sofia Kourtesis attest to the versatility and depth of his original compositions. His collaborative efforts are similarly noteworthy, with tracks like "Finesse (feat. BNXN) [Tourist Mix]" demonstrating Phillips' ability to merge his signature sound with the talents of other artists. Tourist's continuing exploration of sonic textures has solidified his standing as a thought-provoking figure within the electronic music community.
