Devotion and Colourgrade

Tirzah Miriam Lois Mastin was born in 1987 in Braintree, Essex, the youngest of five children, and grew up playing the Celtic harp. At the Purcell School for Young Musicians she met Mica Levi, known as Micachu, who became her frequent collaborator. She released the EPs I'm Not Dancing (2013, Greco-Roman) and No Romance (2014), sang with Tricky on "Sun Down" and "Silly Games" in 2014 and released "Make It Up" in 2015. Her debut album, Devotion, came out on Domino on August 10, 2018, produced entirely by Levi, with Coby Sey on the title track.

"Send Me" arrived on April 14, 2021, ahead of Colourgrade on October 1, 2021, with the singles "Sink In", "Tectonic" and "Hive Mind" with Sey, and "Ribs" in 2022. Levi and Sey worked on the whole album, and Levi calls it unpolished, left as alone as possible; Tirzah told The FADER that when I hear the songs back, they all kind of feel like diary entries. Colourgrade was nominated for best difficult second album at the 2022 AIM Independent Music Awards. Trip9love...??? followed on September 5, 2023, and in 2025 she appeared on "Life" with Blood Orange and Charlotte Dos Santos. She played Vivid Live, RISING and the Edinburgh International Festival in 2024, North American dates in August 2024, and LIDO Festival in London on June 6, 2025.
