Tahliah Barnett (born 16 January, 1988), known by the stage name FKA twigs (“FKA” is reported, but has been denied, to mean “Formerly Known As”) is a British dancer, director, composer, singer, and producer.
She got her start in music with ballet and singing on tracks recorded in a Jamaican Club. Her electronically tinged, haunting music is reminiscent of the work of Björk, Portishead, The xx, Tricky, and Massive Attack.
Before she had a career in music, she was an extremely sought-after pop-video dancer in London. She has appeared in videos by Taio Cruz, Jessie J, Ed Sheeran, Kylie Minogue and others.
