TIWAYO STEPS OUT OF THE SHADOWS WITH InchOUTSIDERInch RAW SOUL REVELATION PRODUCED BY GRAMMY WINNER ADRIAN QUESADA (BLACK PUMAS).Nicknamed InchThe Young OldInch for a voice that carries timeless weight, Paris-born soul singer and songwriter Tiwayo returns with Outsider, a powerful new album produced by Grammy winner Adrián Quesada of the Black Pumas. Set for worldwide on April 10, 2026, Outsider marks the triumphant comeback of a bohemian spirit who has busked and traveled across the world, absorbing the blues, soul, and gospel roots that continue to shape his music.(Who Is Tiwayo? Have you heard of him before? Where does that voice come from?)France may be famous for fine wines, electronic music, and buttery croissants-but not exactly for producing some of the deepest soul records. Tiwayo is here to change that. With Outsider, he delivers a rare and radiant soul gem, cracking the limits of cultural expectations and proving that true soul knows no borders.Celebrated by musical luminaries including Norah Jones, Marcus Miller, Tony Visconti, and Don Was, Tiwayo built a reputation opening stages for Sting, Seal, and Marcus Miller. After two acclaimed albums Desert Dreams and The Gypsy Soul of Tiwayo on the legendary Blue Note Records, Tiwayo had nearly vanished from the scene before Adrian Quesada heard his demos and pulled him back into the spotlight.Their paths crossed at France's Les Eurockéennes festival, leading Tiwayo from Paris to Austin and into the Adrian Quesada's Electric Deluxe Studio. There, he and Quesada forged a raw, genre-bending take on soul, with contributions from Pumas members and other leading lights of the retro-soul scene. Doyle Bramhall II, longtime Eric Clapton collaborator, lends guitar to three tracks, including InchDaddy Was Born with the BluesInch, Tiwayo's tribute to his late father, enriched by strings from Sly5thAve. Brooklyn's Kendra
