MsTXTILLY
Born in Tyler, Texas to a religiously conservative family, Tilly started out in this life always drawn to music and having a way with words. “I should have been a lawyer, the way I could argue for things.” she says.
Country folk...steeped in blues. Tilly began loving music at the knee of her Grandmother, who owned an old upright piano. By the age of four she had composed her first work about Midnight, the family dog. Music was a retreat, an escape from where she didn’t quite fit in and a home life that wasn’t always the best. She would take her guitar and notebook out to the woods and spend hours writing and practicing, making music her whole world for those times she could get away. Tilly credits an elementary school teacher with truly changing her life through music. She would offer free guitar lessons after school, providing more time away from home, where time spent making music was frowned upon, at best. Get the rest of the story at www.texastilly.com/about
