Tilsen

Tilsen is an anagram for the word “Listen.” She created the name and stuck with it because she felt it suited her and her music. Born and raised in Toronto, Tilsen is bursting on to the pop scene with her infectious pop jams. She was singing before she could speak. As the daughter of an opera singer, she formed a deep affinity with the human voice. Tilsen’s songs explore real love; the highs and lows, the ecstasy and the pain. Her vocals are intimate, like she was singing her lyrics from between the sheets, into her lover’s ear. With irresistibly catchy production and melodies, vulnerable vocals and bold conversational lyrics, Tilsen tells a love story that is relatable to anyone who has been in love and wants to love better. Tilsen’s imagery is grand; from ballrooms to vast landscapes, there is a regal, vintage aesthetic and she is a dignified kind of sexy, whether wearing a victorian gown or lace lingerie. Tilsen has written with some of Canada’s top songwriters through the Songwriters Association of Canada and Cymba Music Publishing.
