With the eagerness of a novice, yet the restraint and focus of a more seasoned player, Téja is a musician’s musician. “I just love to play,” she exclaims. “I love being part of a tight unit – love the feeling of creating audible beauty ”
Big-band jazz bred and “old school soul” at heart, the Miami native, now Atlanta resident, is open to all forms of music. It’s this willingness to embrace all styles that has afforded Téja a chance to play with artists of several genres, both on the local and national levels. She started playing in an orchestra program in middle school on the upright bass then transferred to a jazz program in high school where she also picked up the electric bass guitar (as well as several other instruments). Téja started gigging around town when she was 16, and has been performing ever since. She is currently on the road with Janelle Monae and most recently toured with Musiq Soulchild and Frank McComb.
With years of ensemble bass under her belt, the time has come for a solo effort. With a sound as different as her name, Téja’s music is bound to stand out - warm and light , honest and refreshing – her project is sure to find a home with many listeners.
