Tia Gordon is a singer-songwriter from Kent who’s been singing since the age of 4. Given a guitar by her best friend in her teenage years, Tia started writing and producing her own songs and secretly putting them on soundcloud to positive reactions, giving her the confidence to continue making original content. She finally decided to put her face out there with her music and created an Instagram in 2019, where she uploaded snippets of originals as well as posting covers every Wednesday without fail, resulting in a strong organic following.
Tia released her debut single ‘Call Me’ early 2022 to acclaim from tastemakers such as Abbie McCarthy, DJ Target, Victoria Jane, Rickie, Melvin & Charlie among others. It was Abbie McCarthy’s ‘Introducing Track of the Week’ and Spotify made her the cover of their UK ‘Fresh Finds’ playlist off the back of supporting.
Shortly after, we saw the release of her second single ‘Price You Pay’ which was also well received, culminating in Tia being invited to apply for the 2022 BBC Introducing Live Lounge competition and finished as runner up, outperforming hundreds of other applicants and impressing award winning judges Mahalia & Mabel.
In that same year, Mahalia invited Tia to perform at the sold-out Christmas edition of her ‘Mahalia Presents’ series, the biggest one yet at Lafayette. Tia made her debut live performance with a full band alongside Sasha Keable and RUTI to great reception from the audience and Mahalia herself.
2023 opened with Tia continuing her live performance run supporting UK rapper Sidders at his headline show at Hootenanny, Brixton. Following that performance, Tia released 2 singles over 4 months, ‘Cold Showers’ & ‘On My Mind’ and the latter came with a stunning music video directed by Anna Peterson, shot entirely on 8mm film. Both singles were both well received and had extensive DSP support across multiple streaming platforms, airplay across the BBC Radio network and also at community radio. Tia closed off the year with a great performance headlining the BBC Introducing stage at Roundhouse Rising x BBC Introducing Live festival.
2024 Q2 saw Tia release her debut EP ‘with love. x’ to great reception. The 5 track project was supported by lead single ‘a little love for myself’ and it shows Tia’s writing at her most vulnerable yet. Drawing from personal experiences, Tia truly wears her heart on her sleeve as she talks about love lost, love found and everything in between. The rest 2024 sees Tia continue to release more music and perform at a string of shows.
