Judith Tellado – Jazz-Latin-Singer-Songwriter

A latin-jazz-singer-songwriter and symbolist painter from Puerto Rico, now living in Germany – Judith Tellado's story is an intricate one. Growing up in the caribbean countryside surrounded by guava trees and avocados, music was ever present with her everyone in her family either singing or playing latin percussion. As a teenager Judith started to paint art, and as a university student discovered her love for jazz music in the voice of Ella Fitzgerald and the saxophone of John Coltrane. Meeting the love of her life on a trip to Canada meant she would marry a German musician and move to Hamburg to start anew and pursue her artist career there. Becoming an immigrant and living in a new reality far away from her family and caribbean island are frequent subjects of Judith’s artistic expression. Judith Tellado likes to celebrate creativity and endeavour in whatever new idea comes to her mind, all the while allowing herself to be surprised by the turn life might take next.
