Latisha "Tish" Hyman (born 1983),[1] commonly known as Tish, is an American singer-songwriter and rapper from the Bronx, New York.
Early life
Tish was born and raised in the Bronx,[2][3] where she began battle rapping at an early age.[4][5]
Career
Beginnings
In 2010 Tish moved to Los Angeles, California and began writing songs for other artists.[6] In 2011 she wrote a song for Ahsan Watts which helped him get signed to Interscope, and gave Tish recognition as a songwriter.[4] She subsequently landed a publishing deal at Universal Music Publishing Group and went on to write songs for Alicia Keys, Diddy, Kanye West and Kelly Rowland.[6][7]
Single release and album
Tish's first single, Subway Art, was released on March 3, 2015,[8] and the video premiered on The Fader on April 27, 2015.[7] The song, which describes the struggles of those who use the New York City subway trains on a daily basis,[3] brought stylistic and vocal comparisons to Lauryn Hill.[2][4][9] Her second single, "Home For Christmas", premiered on Vibe and on Ebro Darden's radio show on December 15, 2015.[10]
Tish's debut album, Dedicated To, is set to be released in early 2016, with production by Bink, William Larsen, Timothy Bloom, Dave Kuncio, Nate Walka and others.[4][7][8] She is also featured on Fabolous' 2015 single You Made Me[2][4] and on Dom Kennedy's 2015 single "2 Bad".
