When UK producer Tesfa Williams and South African singer-songwriter Sio were first introduced, the symbiotic nature of their relationship was evident from the start. Born out of meaningful conversations across just four days in the studio in London, they laid the foundations to create records rich in personal connection and creative trust. Following the release of ‘Peace’ on The Remedy Project, they now reveal the first single ‘Fortnite’ from their forthcoming album project on STY TRU BTS. Explaining the thoughts behind her trademark poeticism on ‘Fortnite’ Sio explains, “I took back my power from my elders and society by defining my own path and identity as a woman of colour in the world so the “game” would favour me.” Paired with Tesfa’s thoughtful production, ‘Fortnite’ makes for a spellbinding preview of what is to come from these two influential artists.

“I’m on the outside, let me in.”

STY TRU BTS delivers again with ‘Outside’ - a track that moves both body and mind 
South Africa’s poet and songstress Sio links with London’s genre-blurring producer Tesfa Williams for the third release from their collaborative SIGMA project - and it’s a stunner 
Poetic fire meets UK club finesse as Sio’s cinematic vocals glide over Tesfa’s deep, soulful production, bold and built for the floor. 

Outside is for the ones who keep showing up, even when the door won’t open. Crafted between Johannesburg and London, this cross-continental cut blends strength with vulnerability. Tesfa’s warm, polished soundscapes provide the perfect backdrop for Sio’s assured yet emotionally charged delivery - vocals that don’t just ride the beat, but reshape its emotional core. 

Out now on  STY TRU BTS, Outside is a moment…music that carries weight and motion in equal measure
