'''Bryson Djuan Tiller''' (born January 2, 1993) is an American singer
''Trapsoul'' received triple platinum certification by the RIAA and spawned the follow-up singles "[[Exchange (song)|Exchange]]"—which earned him a [[Grammy Award]] nomination—and "[[Sorry Not Sorry (Bryson Tiller song)|Sorry Not Sorry]]." His second studio album, ''[[True to Self]]'' (2017) debuted atop the ''Billboard'' 200. That same year, he guest featured alongside [[Rihanna]] on [[DJ Khaled]]'s hit single "[[Wild Thoughts]]," which peaked at number two on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. His third album, ''[[Anniversary (Bryson Tiller album)|Anniversary]]'' (2020) likewise peaked within the top ten of the chart. His debut [[extended play]] (EP), ''[[A Different Christmas]]'' (2021)—his first [[holiday album]]—spawned the single "[[Lonely Christmas (Bryson Tiller song)|Lonely Christmas]]" (featuring [[Justin Bieber]] and [[Poo Bear]]) and narrowly entered the ''Billboard'' 200.
