Tommy Genesis

Tommy Genesis hosted a guest show on 19 February 2019. Tommy Genesis has been played over 40 times on NTS, first on 1 August 2016. Tommy Genesis's music has been featured on 37 episodes.

Tommy Genesis is not someone you can categorically label. Though her look radiates saccharine femininity, her brand of “fetish rap” boasts a complex aggro-sexuality that challenges anyone looking to undercut her creative authority.

Raised in Vancouver, Canada by a South Indian father and Scandinavian mother, Tommy is a figure laden with contradictions. At first glance, the artist has all the trappings of a bonafide pop darling; a doe-eyed beauty with ombré curls and a penchant for pleated skirts, cropped tees, glossy lipstick and combat boots. But underneath the schoolgirl allure lies something far more esoteric. Tommy’s music eschews nearly every hetero-normative motif commonly affiliated with the rap genre.

The graphic volatility of Tommy’s lyrics seamlessly parallels the production of her songs, which swerves and slides across a range of genres. It’s the very unhinged, otherworldly quality of Tommy’s work that has caught the ear of fans and the music industry.

In 2016 Dazed magazine described her as "the internet's most rebellious underground rap queen."

Her first album, World Vision was released in 2015 and since then her self titled album has also been released (2018).
