Starting from his love of classic soul music, 808s drum machine, and contemporary R&B; the nerdy, wondrous, and obtusely introspective recording artist Tiad Hilm based in Bali, Indonesia developed a sound that looked to the deepest echelon of neo-soul and hip-hop to his sound. While wearing the influence from André 3000 to Childish Gambino, and Stevie Wonder to Frank Ocean on his sleeve, his style would grow more refined as the years went on, with production getting more detailed as his writing became more nuanced. Having taken the past three years away from the limelight to hone his craft as a rapper and singer even further, Tiad Hilm is excited to bring listeners into this new era of his music—which feels even more raw and revealing than previous works, underpinned by a fusion of influences—from hip-hop and R&B to house, afrobeat, and soul. May 7th, only from exile can we come home.
