Biography

Gabriel Teodros is a musician and writer from South Seattle who first made a mark with the group Abyssinian Creole, and reached an international audience with his critically-acclaimed solo debut Lovework. He has been setting stages on fire ever since, touring all across the US, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Ethiopia and South Africa. His latest solo offering What We Leave Behind was released in the early months of the pandemic, on the 20 year anniversary of Teodros' first solo performance. The album is a collection of some of the brightest gems from his unreleased archives, with a few new songs reflecting the times we are in now: from the Movement for Black Lives to grieving everyone we lost in the pandemic. What We Leave Behind was preceded by 2018's History Rhymes If It Doesn't Repeat (A Southend Healing Ritual), a collective exercise in moving through trauma that made NPR say "Gabriel Teodros is one of the bravest rappers currently working in Seattle", and 2014's Evidence of Things Not Seen, a James Baldwin-inspired collaboration with Aotearoa-based producer SoulChef described by critics as Teodros' strongest album yet, after a decade of notable releases that also include Colored People's Time Machine, Children of the Dragon and CopperWire's Earthbound. Teodros currently hosts EARLY every weekday from 5-7am (pacific time) on KEXP 90.3 FM in Seattle, streaming worldwide on www.kexp.org and via the KEXP mobile apps.
