Tahliah Debrett Barnett ), known professionally as FKA Twigs , is an English singer-songwriter, dancer, and actress. Born and raised in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, she became a backup dancer after moving to South London at age 17. She made her musical debut with the extended plays EP1 and EP2 .
Her debut studio album, LP1, was released in August 2014 to critical acclaim, peaking at number 16 on the UK Albums Chart and number 30 on the US Billboard 200. It was later nominated for the 2014 Mercury Prize. She released the M3LL155X EP in 2015 to further critical acclaim, as well as her second studio album Magdalene four years later. Her work has been described as "genre-bending", drawing on various genres including electronic music, trip hop, R&B, and the avant-garde.
Early life
Tahliah Debrett Barnett was born and raised in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Her father, a jazz dancer, is Jamaican, and her mother is an English woman of partly Spanish descent who used to be a dancer and gymnast. Barnett was raised by her mother and stepfather. She did not meet her father until she was 18. She grew up in Gloucestershire, and has described the county as "kind of in the middle of nowhere". She attended St Edward's School, Cheltenham, a private Catholic school for boys and girls aged 11 to 18. Her education at the school was partly funded by an academic scholarship. From a young age, she undertook opera and ballet lessons and took part in several St Edward's School productions.
At 16, Barnett started making music in youth clubs. At 17, she moved to South London to pursue a career as a dancer, where she also attended the BRIT School. After changing her focus from dance to music, she transferred from the BRIT School to Croydon College to pursue an education in fine arts. She worked as a backup dancer in music videos by artists such as Kylie Minogue, Plan B, Ed Sheeran, Taio Cruz, Dionne Bromfield, Jessie J, and Wretch 32. She was a backup dancer for Jessie J in her 2010 video for "Do It like a Dude", and appeared again in her 2011 video for "Price Tag". She also appeared in Dionne Bromfield's video "Yeah Right". In 2011, she appeared in a two-minute BBC comedy sketch titled Beyoncé Wants Groceries, in which she was a backup dancer in a supermarket. At 18, she began working with local London producers to try to find what she calls "her sound". Around this time is when she wrote "I'm Your Doll". She ended up producing a lot of "really bad demos". For a time, she worked as a hostess in a gentleman's club and also sang periodically at The Box.
Personal life
In September 2014, Twigs began dating actor Robert Pattinson. The couple, who were engaged, ended their relationship in the summer of 2017.
In May 2018, Twigs revealed via Instagram that she underwent surgery to remove fibroid tumours from her uterus in December 2017. She described her experience as "living with a fruit bowl of pain every day" and saluted the bravery of other women living with the condition.
Twigs was in a relationship with American actor Shia LaBeouf from mid-2018 to May 2019. They met on the set of the film Honey Boy. In December 2020, Twigs filed a lawsuit against LaBeouf in Los Angeles, accusing him of sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress during their relationship. In his response, LaBeouf stated he had been "abusive" to himself and those around him "for years" and that he was "ashamed" and "sorry to those hurt." Later, LaBeouf denied all allegations made by Twigs.
Twigs has been in a relationship with the 1975 frontman Matty Healy since December 2019.
