About
var1=Welcome to the official website of award winning songwriters, producers and artists Owen Thomas and Lily-May Young AKA tysongs! Please... make yourself at home.
How'd such an unstoppable hit making duo come to be?
In the beginning...
There was a boy.
Owen had characteristics strikingly similar to those of a porcupine, electric hair, strong jaw, a skulking gait and weird nocturnal habits. In fact he was so rarely seen during daylight hours that his skin had taken on a whiter shade of pale that he defensively dubbed 'his studio tan'. The boy communicated through rough grunts and an impenetrable stare.
And there was a girl.
Lily was a blonde mass of giggles that couldn't shut up. Her incessant but lyrical chatter was a source of joy to all who knew her, (except for a sizable majority who secretly wished the world would end so that they could get some peace and quiet). Unlike the boy - she slept tirelessly through the night, waking only to fill up on cups of tea and suitably dunkable biscuits.
Boy meets girl.
The danger of their two worlds colliding was remote, but inevitably they did. The impact should have bought total carnage, but as furious scowl met relentless babble, a weird
and wonderful thing occurred. A synergy prompted by Owens inspirational rhythm caused Lily to stop with the yakkety yak and issue forth a startlingly clear soprano; so beautiful that the corners of Owens mouth curved in an unfamiliar way and the creases
dropped from his brow. The meeting of minds resulted in twists of (ironic /beautiful/ clever) lyricism and an unstoppable team was born.
The rest, as they say, is history Like all Big Bangs the ensuing result is a whole new world - a TYllenium experience - in which mindblowing, blood pumping, heart thumping, body popping music rules supreme and Owen Thomas and Lily-May Young are set to be the new Undisputed Masters Of The Songwriting Universe.
