BIOGRAPHY
For decades, US music charts have seen what they
call a British Invasion take place. From The
Beatles and Rolling Stones to Wham!, Culture Club
and Tears For Fears, this phenomenon does not
seem to skip any generation. In the latest
decade, we have seen Coldplay, Amy Winehouse.,
and more recently, artists like Taio Cruz and Jay
Sean hit the top of the charts. It is with this
in mind that the undisputed British breakout star
of 2010, Tinie Tempah, has set his sights on
America. Tinie Tempah has had an incredible year
- few debut artists boast three hit singles, a
Glastonbury performance on the Pyramid stage and
millions of YouTube views. Yet this 21 year-old
artist has captivated music fans, celebrities and
critics alike in just a matter of months. Tinie
began the year as a newly signed artist in the
melee of other musicians hoping to make an impact
on the UK music scene. His major label debut
single Pass Out hit No.1, and has since had in
excess of 11 million views. Its follow-up,
Frisky, shot straight to No.2 and has been viewed
over 8 million times. Combined, both singles have
sold upwards of 750,000 copies. His third single,
Written In The Stars, reached 1 and thus far, he
has sold over one million singles in the UK
alone. His debut album, Disc-Overy, debuted at
1 in the UK, and went gold in its first week,
further proving his star power. Tinie plans to
duplicate this success streak in the US by
introducing himself with his number one UK banger
Pass Out followed by the melodic, and also number
one UK single, Written In The Stars. Written In
The Stars, produced by Swedish powerhouse Ishi,
details the 21 year-olds past, present and
future ambitions. Im trying to live the dream
and other people can do the same if they put
their mind to it. Thats what the song is about.
You can do everything Ive done, if youre
determined and driven enough. Featuring the
incredible vocals of Boston newcomer Eric Turner,
the epic, synth-led single features crisp drums,
razor-sharp guitars and a considered message
delivered in Tinies uniquely credible style. I
used to be the kid that no-one cared about,
thats why you have to keep screaming till they
hear you out, raps Tinie.

While the first singles sound like bonafide radio
smashes, they are just a taste of whats to come
on Tinies debut album, Disc-Overy, set for
release in Spring 2011. As well as highlighting
the finer things in life that success can offer,
Tinie details the lows of fame and fortune, as
well as offering a candid insight into his
childhood growing up in south London. On every
single song youll get a line that reveals what
life was, and is, like for me. I recorded a lot
of it after Pass Out went to No.1, so that gave
me a chance to reflect on life before and after
achieving success. When Im in the studio, its
just me in my tracksuit, a bottle of water and my
thoughts. Going to No.1 gave me a chance to
consider how far Ive come, but also how far I
intend to go. An incredibly confident debut,
Disc-Overy certifies Tinie's absolute ability to
achieve worldwide success. With Tinie already on
the US radar thanks to remixes with Diddy and
Snoop, Disc-Overy reasserts his global appeal by
offering inventive production and a range of
rhymes that are in turn frank and funny. The
diverse and imaginative album features
collaborations with Ellie Goulding and Kelly
Rowland and production from Labrinth (Pass Out,
Frisky), newcomer Ishi, Al Shux (Jay-Zs Empire
State Of Mind) and Naughty Boy (Chipmunk, Wiley),
as well as renowned dance producers Swedish House
Mafia. The song Simply Unstoppable underscores
Tinies roots while Swedish House Mafia have
created an undeniable dancefloor anthem in the
form of Miami 2 Ibiza, and Naughty Boy delivers a
deliciously brooding pop number Let Go, featuring
Emile Sande. One of Tinies personal favourites,
the laidback Snap talks about chronicling life
photographically, including My mom and dads
wedding picture, which is my favourite photo in
the world, while Wonderman features Ellie
Goulding and is produced by Labrinth. I wanted
this album to be really raw, not only in terms of
the production but the guests. I was only
interested in working with people I really
respect and who Im a fan of. I met Ellie very
early on, we swapped numbers and after that we
started living very parallel worlds the same
festivals, interviews and so on. It made total
sense to have her on the album. He may be
distinctive in his delivery and creative in his
approach to the business of music, yet the
charismatic rappers own background is much like
an average kid anywhere in the world. Ive
never tried to be anything than what I am. I was
well bought up, I liked school, I liked learning,
Im well educated, Im well spoken, Tinie
reflects. His mom and dad were keen to keep their
kids away from trouble, moving the family from
Peckham to Plumstead when Tinie was 11. It's
thanks to his capital city upbringing that Tinie
has been able to achieve all he has. "London is
one of the only places in the world where you can
live in a council block and see a beautiful
semi-detached house across the street. Growing up
around that was inspirational, it kept me
motivated." Yet, despite success on the
underground, few would have predicted just how
hugely successful he would become. Since
signing, he has accomplished more than anyone
might have imagined - yet for this driven young
man, its clearly just the beginning of an
already incredible career. With a long-term goal
in mind, Tinie is far from a one-hit wonder. This
pragmatic, prudent MC is mindful of the decisions
he makes, and has big plans for himself. I
really want people to get this album, I want them
to listen to it as a whole and see that not all
the tracks are chart-driven. I really wanted to
give people some Tinie Time for an hour, he
insists. I want people to see this is not a joke
to me now Im here and Ive been given the
opportunity, Im not messing around. Im looking
to take my tour, the videos, the music,
everything, completely beyond what you can
fathom. Its never just another day in the life
of Tinie Ive got a lot to do and you can bet on
the fact that Ill do it.
