FKA twigs, born Tahliah Debrett Barnett on January 16, 1988, in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, is a multifaceted artist known for her avant-garde style that merges electronic music, R&B, trip-hop, and art-pop. She entered the spotlight with her debut extended play, "EP1," in 2012, followed by "EP2" in 2013. Her unique sound and haunting vocals quickly garnered the attention of critics and music enthusiasts, leading to her critically acclaimed debut album, "LP1," in 2014. With a background in dance, her performances are as visually captivating as they are musically, often incorporating intricate choreography and surreal visual elements, solidifying her reputation as a vanguard in the intersection of music and contemporary art.

FKA twigs' work has continued to evolve, with her sophomore album "MAGDALENE" in 2019 further cementing her position as a pioneering figure in modern music. The album was celebrated for its conceptual depth and exploration of the complexities of womanhood. Her more recent work includes the mixtape "CAPRISONGS" released in 2022, which showcased a more accessible and playful side to her music while maintaining the experimental edge she is known for. Singles like "killer," and notable collaborations such as "Measure of a Man" with Central Cee, and "tears in the club" with The Weeknd, demonstrate her versatility and willingness to push boundaries, affirming her influence in shaping contemporary music well beyond conventional genres.
