Bryson Tiller on Opening for Himself, Why ‘Whatever She Wants’ Is One of His Favorites to Perform & More | Rolling Loud Miami 2024

Bryson Tiller explains the concept behind opening for himself, creating an alter ego, why “Whatever She Wants” has become his favorite song to perform live, what’s coming up for him in the next year and more at Rolling Loud Miami.

Bryson Tiller

My favorite song from the new album to perform is probably “Whatever She Wants,” you know, and it really wasn’t supposed to be on the new album. Shout-out to RCA and all the people that forced me to put that song on the album, but, you know, I get it, and it’s cool, but that was my mixtape song, and I had a lot of other songs with that song that kind of matched that vibe. So it’s a little bit random, but, you know, the Bryson Tiller album was about versatility, so it’s all good. It made sense in the end. But that would have to be my favorite, favorite song to perform. I’m trying to add some new ones though. You know, I’ve been, you know, I never got a chance to rehearse any of the new album stuff, so I kind of just had to, like, get right on tour. So I’m about to take some time and just figure out which ones I could perform and see which ones the fans want to hear me perform as well.

What songs from the Bryson Tiller album would you most want to perform live?

Bryson Tiller

I definitely want to try to perform “Calypso” a little bit. I’m not sure yet. I just kind of got to browse through, because you never know like listening to Him, listening to them is a different vibe. You know, you like, Oh, I like listening to this, but when you when I start performing this, it can just be a whole different so I don’t know some stuff is just better live.
