Biography

Hi, I’m Tei Shi *~*~* I grew up between Colombia and Canada. Making music is my #1 love so thank you for listening & helping me keep doing it <3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tei Shi’s first two self-released EPs, Saudade (2013) and Verde (2015) introduced her to the world, with her groundbreaking song Bassically garnering over 18 million streams on Spotify alone and setting the scene for her critically acclaimed debut album Crawl Space (2017). This was followed by her much anticipated second album, La Linda in 2019. That same year she collaborated with Blood Orange on his album Negro Swan. In addition to joining him onstage at 2019’s Coachella Music Festival, she also starred in the song’s music video alongside Diddy, A$AP Rocky, and Tyler the Creator. In March 2020, after breaking out of a toxic label dynamic, she embarked on a North American tour supporting Blood Orange, which was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. Shortly after, during the height of the lockdown, she released her EP Die 4 Ur Love. Her new singles, GRIP and BAD PREMONITION, mark the beginning of a new chapter for Tei Shi as a truly independent artist. The songs discuss the disappointment and anger brought about by some of her experiences in the music industry, and pave the way for a breadth of new material set to be released throughout 2022 and into 2023. “[Tei Shi is] worldly and sophisticated, cut from cloth closer to that of an actual pop star than the indie auteurs with whom she shares playlists” (Pitchfork).
