British singer-songwriter TaniA Kyllikki continues to rise as one of the most powerful independent voices in today’s music scene. Known for her emotional honesty, five-octave vocal range, and deeply personal storytelling, TaniA has built a global audience through radio chart success, streaming milestones, and millions of YouTube views. Often praised as “the one who tells the truth,” she creates music that resonates with listeners of all ages and backgrounds, earning support from hundreds of major magazines, blogs, and news outlets worldwide.
Since the pandemic, TaniA has been recognised as one of indie music’s strongest female artists. Her natural storytelling ability, paired with a massive old-school vocal range, has led critics to compare her to legendary singers. Working closely with her husband and musical collaborator Rynellton, the two have become a creative power couple, shaping her signature sound.
TaniA’s personal story is woven through her music. She is a survivor of abuse, and she was born with lifelong health conditions. These experiences give her songs a depth, empathy, and emotional maturity that listeners immediately feel. With her debut self-written album, Why Chapter One, she reached No. 3 on the Amazon Top 100 Pop Albums chart in the UK, then held between No. 25 and No. 27 for over a month. Shortly after, the press labelled her a “lyrical genius,” “the people’s artist,” and “the British songbird.”
Her success has continued to grow. She has been featured in hundreds of online and print magazines, including front-cover features. Her popular single “Remind Me” was presented by 3x Grammy winner Ne-Yo. In 2025 alone, major outlets such as NY Weekly, TimeOut California, Huff Mag, Monaco, and Hollywood Chronicle featured her work, and MSN named her one of “THE TOP TEN WOMEN REVOLUTIONISING THEIR FIELDS.”
Now, with the completion of her second album, Free-Spirited, TaniA continues to evolve her sound. Her earlier releases from the album, “In These Eyes,” “I Struck Gold With You,” and “Feel Good Vibes, ”all made headlines. “In These Eyes” was praised for its daring blend of musical styles. “I Struck Gold With You,” released in February 2024, was celebrated in numerous magazines, charted twice on streaming platforms, and earned over two million video views. “Feel Good Vibes” charted at No. 4 on the European Top Sounds indie charts and No. 15 on worldwide independent charts, receiving widespread praise for its uplifting message.
Following a short break due to serious health issues and emergency surgeries, TaniA Kyllikki has now returned with her latest single and music video, “I Promise I’ll Wait For You.” Produced by her husband Rynellton (Garry D. Hairston), a multi-genre producer from North Carolina, and written by TaniA herself, the song explores the emotional journey of a long-distance love. It is a moving tribute to the bond TaniA and Rynellton share, two soulmates brought together through music despite living in different countries. Their love story mirrors the emotional force of films like The Notebook and shines through the lyrics, capturing sacrifice, patience, devotion, and unshakeable loyalty.
The song also reflects the challenges they’ve faced, including TaniA’s lifelong health struggles, yet it celebrates the faith and determination that keep them connected. Its message is universal, offering comfort to anyone separated from their partner by military service, work, life circumstances, or distance. “I Promise I’ll Wait For You” reminds listeners that true love survives time, distance, and every obstacle in between.
Musically, the track is dreamy, mystical, and otherworldly. The opening prelude of piano, strings, and Tania’s ad-lib vocals immediately transports the listener into a space of beauty and calm. Her rich voice leads the story with a narrative style that has earned widespread admiration. The bridge carries a breathtaking emotional climax, strengthening the song’s timeless, cinematic feel. Every lyric deepens the experience, drawing the listener closer until the final note.
With her album Free-Spirited on the way, TaniA continues to turn hardship into hope, dreams into reality, and pain into powerful art. Through unwavering faith, fierce determination, and a commitment to creating music with meaning, she proves again and again that she is an artist built for longevity. “I Promise I’ll Wait For You” is her latest reminder that love, resilience, and truth still shine brightest, no matter the distance.
