[1] (born 16 January 1988), better known by her stage name
FKA twigs
(pronounced FKA twigs), is a British singer, songwriter and dancer originally from Gloucestershire,[2] currently based in London.[3]
"FKA" stands for "Formerly Known As".[4][5] Her debut album, LP1,
was released in August 2014.
Biography[ | ]
Talia Barnett was born in Gloucestershire.[6] Her father is Jamaican and her mother, a one-time dancer and gymnast, is English and partly of Spanish descent.[7] She grew up in rural Gloucestershire, which she described as "the middle of nowhere."[7] Studied at St. Edward's School.[8]
At the age of 17, Twigs moved to London to pursue a career as a dancer.[9] She has appeared in video clips as a backup dancer for artists such as Kylie Minogue, Ed Sheeran and Taio Cruz.[10] She was a backup dancer for Jessie J in her 2010 "Do It Like a Dude"[2] and 2011 "Price Tag" music videos.[11] In 2011, she appeared in a two-minute BBC comedy sketch called "Beyonce Wants Groceries", in which she performed as a backup dancer in a supermarket.[2] In August 2012, Twigs was photographed for the cover of iD
.[12]
She became known as Twigs because of the crunch in her joints.[7] She added the acronym FKA (Formerly Known As) to her name when another artist named Twigs filed a complaint against her for misusing it.[7]
Biography of Robert Pattinson
The biography of Robert Pattinson began in 1987 in the capital of Great Britain. As a child, he attended a boarding school for boys, as is customary in the outskirts of London in good, wealthy families.
In general, the actor was a rather uptight and shy child, so the fact that he managed to become an actor is entirely his merit. He overcame his shyness and first began studying at the Barnes acting studio when he was 15. It was on the stage of the theater that a theater casting agent saw the boy and invited the guy to try his hand at the stage. At first these were just amateur productions. And then Pattinson began to look for where else to find application for his emerging acting ambitions, and began going to castings. The guy began studying in a modeling studio and began going on the catwalk, advertising the collections of British fashion designers. At that time, he still didn’t know for sure whether he would succeed in becoming an actor, and was preparing a reserve base.
After a small role on the theater stage in the production of Macbeth, the actor was noticed by film directors, and in 2004 Robert appeared on screen for the first time. His first role was as a minor character in the film “The Ring of the Nibelungs,” and a year later he got the role of Cedric Digory in the film adaptation of Harry Potter. This role brought Pattinson his first success among fans. The handsome young guy was also noticed by directors of big cinema, and after the film about the young wizard, Pattinson starred in two more films, which for some reason passed by his career.

, December 4, 2012.
She posted video clips for each of the songs on her YouTube channel.[2] On August 1, 2013, Twigs posted the music video for her first single, "Water Me", on YouTube.[13] The video was directed by Jesse Kanda.[14] On 6 August 2013, The Guardian
featured Twigs in their New Band of the Day feature, describing them as "the UK's best example of ethereal, enveloping R&B".[5]
Twigs' second mini-album, EP2
, was released by Young Turks on September 10, 2013.[15]
It was produced by Twigs and Arka. Pitchfork gave EP2
a rating of 8/10.[3]
In December 2013, Talia was nominated in the BBC's Sound of 2014 poll and selected by Spotify for their Spotlight on 2014 list.[16][17] Billboard
magazine's list of "14 Artists to Watch in 2014".[18]
In April 2014, Twigs appeared on the cover of the 91st issue of The Fader.
[19] She then directed and starred in a music video for rapper Lucki Eck$'s song "Ouch Ouch".
In addition, she produced this composition.[20] Twigs' debut album, LP1,
was released in August 2014 by Young Turks.[21]
In 2020, she released a visual mini-album M3LL155X, consisting of 4 songs (like her previous 2 mini-albums). Videos were shot for each composition, which together form one conceptual story.
In 2020, she participated in the recording of the song “F**k Sleep” together with ASAP Rocky, which was released on his album.
In 2020, after a long lull, she released her second studio album, Magdalene, inspired by the image of the biblical Mary Magdalene. “I used to laugh to myself, thinking about how often a woman and her story are connected to a man. No matter what you do or how good your work is, it feels like unless a man says something about you, you don't exist. And that's exactly how I felt. And then I started reading about Mary Magdalene. I learned how wonderful she was, how faithful she was to Jesus, and that, in fact, she was his main friend. She was a healer, but her story is simply erased from the Bible. According to her, she was a harlot. She inspired me a lot, I found a lot of dignity, nobility, inspiration in her,” says twigs about the ideas behind her new, second solo album “MAGDALENE”. [22]
The album was warmly received by critics.

A Us Weekly source stated the following:
Talia finds him incredibly attractive.

Actor Robert Pattinson and singer Talia Barnett hid their relationship, but they were spotted on the streets of New York, and now everyone knows about their relationship. The couple's romance lasts several weeks, and they were introduced by mutual friends. Robert's chosen one did not want to advertise this.
The fact is that 26-year-old Talia wants to become popular thanks to her music, and not because she is the girlfriend of the famous actor from the vampire saga.
“Talia Barnett has nothing to worry about; Robert himself may soon become the “boyfriend of a popular singer,” joked British publications.

USWeekly:
New couple alert! Robert Pattinson is dating English singer FKA Twigs, sources confirm to Us Weekly. The Twilight hunk has been seeing the talked-about musician, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, for weeks now, one insider tells Us.
“Tahliah thinks he is unbelievably handsome,” the source adds of the 26-year-old London-based artist, adding that the new duo met through mutual friends. Tahliah has been generating buzz as of late, having just released her first album, LP1, earlier this year. Critics have acknowledged the emerging artist who also serves as her own music producer and video director.
Another source close to Kristen Stewart's ex tells Us, “It's early [on] but they're having fun.” Pattinson and Tahliah, who bonded over their love for music, were spotted leaving Bowery Hotel eatery Gemma last week.
Pattinson, who composes his own music and has sung on Twilight tracks, was previously linked to Dylan Penn and model Imogen Kerr following his split from Stewart.
EOnline:
Robert Pattinson may be off the market sometime soon… The Twilight actor is currently spending a lot of time with British singer FKA Twigs (whose real name is Tahliah Barnett) after a mutual friend introduced the two. E! News has learned that the two are “not quite” in a relationship, but friends definitely think that she is his type and that things could go from friendly to romantic in a flash. But for now, at least, the nature of their relationship is strictly friendly. R.Pattz was first spotted with the songstress in New York City with pal Tom Sturridge last month, and the two were seen strolling around the city several times after. The actor recently opened up to Esquire UK about the end of his highly publicized romance with Kristen Stewart. “S—t happens, you know?” he said with a laugh. “It's just young people...it's normal! And honestly, who gives as—t?” "The hardest part was talking about it afterwards," Pattinson added. “Because when you talk about other people, it affects them in ways you can't predict. It's like that scene in Doubt, where he's talking about how to take back gossip? They throw all those feathers from a pillow into the sky and you've got to go and collect all the feathers."

Robert Pattinson's family
Robert Pattinson's family also had a hand in the young man becoming an actor. The actor’s father is a very wealthy man, he transports vintage cars, and thanks to him, Robert received a good education, and in his youth he could do what he liked, without thinking about money and earning money for the future. And his mother worked in a modeling agency and it was she who helped her son overcome his embarrassment and tightness.
Mom has always been the closest person to Robert, she supported him and helped him get into a modeling agency. The woman accompanied her son to the casting and gave him hope that he would succeed, so Pattinson always had a worthy example of a family. Maybe that’s why it’s so difficult for him to build his relationships; he compares all women to his mother.
Robert Pattinson latest news
Despite the release of many films about vampires after Twilight, today for many fans there is a clear favorite in this role: Robert Pattinson. The latest news about the actor's life says that he is very successful and is starring in big movies.
Last year, the actor starred in the Zellner brothers' film "Damsel", and today he is presenting the film at the Berlin Film Festival. This time Mia Wasikowska was her partner on the set. At the press conference, the young man was asked a lot of questions about the film, and I didn’t forget to inquire about his current personal status. For example, journalists asked the actor whether he believed in love - a very relevant question, given that today, apparently, the guy’s heart is free. Robert answered this question ambiguously, saying that love comes in different forms, but he still believes that he will definitely meet it.
Robert Pattinson's children
Despite the fact that the actor is already over 30, he still feels absolutely free from obligations, and does not think about the fact that if he were married, he could already have children. Robert Pattinson is now primarily interested in his career, he is very successful in films and tries himself in different roles.
Rob's favorite actors are Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson, and he tries in every possible way to adopt the best and characteristic features of his idols. Well, Robert may not be like his idols, but he is also famous worldwide. In 2014, a Russian astronomer named an asteroid after the British actor, so we can say that Pattinson has already achieved quite a lot in his life.
