The 1996‑born Toronto native began crafting music while studying at the University of Toronto, releasing the self‑produced mixtape 'A Story in the Making' in 2011. That period laid the foundation for a lyrical style rooted in personal narrative and introspection, subtly foreshadowing later collaborations with his partner.
In 2015, 'Don't' exploded on streaming platforms, cementing Tiller’s place in the R&B landscape. Amid rising fame, he married his long‑time partner, whose supportive presence is credited by the artist’s own interviews as a stabilizing force that helped him channel vulnerability into chart‑breaking tracks.
