R&B singer Bryson Tiller is keeping it 100 on his most precious audio gems. Most notably? How about the creation of his and Diddy’s must-hear ‘Gotta Move On’ single coming as a result of an accident caused by his brother?

Bryson Tiller credits his brother’s accident for sparking Diddy’s attention

Tiller pulled up on V-103’s ‘Big Tigger Morning Show’ to dish on his music career. He specifically talked about creating the song way back in 2018 and it eventually becoming the end result of his and Puff Daddy’s new record.

Originally making the song for himself in 2018, Bryson “gave it to my little brother to listen to, and he just started sending it out to people. Next thing you know the song leaks, I’m pissed at my little brother," Tiller said.

Adding, "actually I hated my little brother… because at that time I was really insecure about my music and I just didn’t want nobody to hear nothing.” After that, the track sat around for four years, then out of the blue, Tiller gets “a call from Diddy to come to Malibu, and for whatever reason I get there and there’s a dry erase board with my song on the board.”

After his initial confusion, things get cleared up when Diddy tells Tiller “how he fell in love with song, and how he’d been listening to it, and I was just like ‘wow,’ and he wanted to use it for his album, so I was like ‘absolutely.’”

To bring the story full circle, Bryson noted how he and Diddy “called his brother right then and there.” Thanking him for the track leak, but reprimanding him to never do it again.

Tiller didn’t end the discussion there. Bryson spoke on dealing with depression for the music he created and ultimately coming up with his new ‘Outside’ single.

Admittedly serving up a different sound with his latest single, Bryson shared, “I’m been doing this stuff by myself for a long time. Just me in the studio, and honestly I was just getting bored with music.” Choosing to opt out of putting in time in the studio this time around, and instead be given different musical offerings to work with.  Which is exactly how “Outside,” came about.

Excited about how “opposite” it was from his usual sound, he noted “I wanted to start this album role-out off with that.”

The conversation continued from there, with Bryson sharing a list of artists who he admires and have influenced his career, plus much more. To hear it all listen to both interview clips above, and also check out Bryson’s brand new single “Outside” below.
