Hailing from Wigan and now taking Manchester’s vibrant music scene by storm, Tasmin Stephens, better known as TTSSFU, has carved out a unique space in the dream pop and shoegaze genres. By the time she started writing songs aged 14, she already knew there was nothing else she was going to do, describing her relationship with songwriting as a compulsion: ‘I can just hear music all the time, it’s actually really annoying cos I just need to do it.’
Drawing inspiration from Alex G and John Maus to record lo-fi in Garageband despite formal production training, she’s slowly built her confidence into the defiant artist that comes to the table on new EP Blown. Tasmin quickly went from Manchester indie scene fixture to one of its fastest-rising stars, with early releases like the reverb-heavy I Hope You Die leading to sold-out UK headlines, support slots alongside Kim Deal and Soccer Mommy, plus packed festival sets from Green Man to the Great Escape. ‘I try to act a bit scary on stage,’ Stephens says of her frontwoman persona, citing Alice Glass and Ethel Cain as influences: ‘I like people who create a force around them.’
