Nell Tiger Free grew up in Teddington, just a stone's throw from London’s bustling heart. She's a star whose light refuses to be confined to a single constellation. Nell has blossomed into a dazzling force of nature in the entertainment world.
Music has always been Nell's first love. Rewind to her 15th birthday, when fate and a mother's intuition collided in the form of a gift that would change everything- a studio session with Tim Bran, a wizard of the music production world, having worked with the likes of London Grammar, KT Tunstall, The Verve, and Aurora. In that first studio session with Tim, Nell Tiger Free found herself falling head over heels for the intoxicating dance of collaborative creation. She left the studio that day with music coursing through her veins, even more enamoured with it than when she had entered. Fast forward nearly a decade, seven heartbreaks, and countless adventures later, Nell reconnected with Tim, who welcomed her back to the studio with open arms. Their rekindled partnership was like a fine wine, having only grown richer with time. They fell back into their rhythm and truly found their sound.
Now, Nell is poised to unveil yet another facet of her multifaceted abilities: the release of her debut single, Do I Just Keep Making Things Worse? It's a musical revelation that promises to showcase the depth and breadth of Nell's artistic abilities. Here she begins the roll out of her debut EP - a gorgeous mix of ethereal alternative, singer songwriter and electro indie pop for fans of Lana Del Ray, Mitski, beabadoobee and Lorde. All songs written and produced by Nell and Tim Bran, adding another impressive chapter to her already remarkable career.
