ABOUT TeA;
Téa is a Vancouver based singer/pianist/songwriter who fuses elements of R&B, Soul, and Pop music into her own brand of City Soul. Drawing inspiration from diverse artists like Sade, Amy Winehouse, and Remy Shand, Téa has crafted an unmistakable sound that continues to win audiences over.

Born in Belgrade, Serbia, Téa was introduced to the piano at the age of 7. At 12, she started playing the guitar. After moving with her family to Vancouver, BC, she started writing songs at the age of 14, received the Associate of the Royal Conservatory of Toronto (A.R.C.T.) diploma in piano performance at 18, and a B.A. in music from the University of British Columbia at 22.

Currently, out of over 450 artists who have applied, she is one of the top 20 finalists in the ongoing Peak Performance Project. She is competing for the first prize of $150,000. The second prize is $75,000 and the third $50,000.

Téa has won 1st place in the R&B/Hip-Hop category of the 2008 International Songwriting Competition for her song Fire & Flame. This contest accepted over 15,500 entries from nearly 100 countries around the world. Téa was also the first artist to be featured on Virgin Radios Best of BC new artist series. Additionally, her song Fire & Flame won 3rd place at Music BCs Songbird West Songwriting Contest.

Since 2004, she has collaborated with award winning songwriter Annette Ducharme, and has worked with producers Troy Samson of Hipjoint and John Webster. Her collaboration with producer Howard Redekopp resulted in the 2008 debut EP Method to the Madness. This CD helped her land a performance on CTVs Good Morning Canada, Global Morning News, and Urban Rush. Fire & Flame, the EPs first single, has received airplay on Virgin Radio, The Peak 100.5, CBC 1, Radio 1 in Greece, and Belgrade 202 in Serbia. Right now, she is working with a Vancouver based songwriter/producer Dane Deviller and mixer Roger Swan.

With Jeremy Scott on bass, Vladan Nojkovic on drums, and KG on beats and additional keyboards, Téa has played over 150 shows since the release of Method to the Madness including appearances at The Vancouver International Jazz Fest and New Music West
