THOMAS TEAGO TALKS TO PRESS PARTY


Debut pop/dance artist, Thomas Teago, talks to Press Party about his new single ‘Be With You’ out early June.

Q1. Thomas, this is your debut single, but it seems that you've done lots in music before now. Tell us about yourself?

I'm a Pop/House Recording artist and songwriter signed to SouthShaw/Universal Music. I bring nothing but high energyand feel good records that bring a positive vibe. My debut single ‘Be With You’, is an uptempo, infectious record that will without any doubt have you moving from start to finish. Blends of Pop, House and Garage with catchy R&B melodies throughout, check it out on Spotify, Apple Music and more, Get it on REPEAT ;)

Q2. Your track of last summer created a lot of interest, can you tell us more about that?

Last year August 2015 my promo single 'Thinkin Bout You' created such a buzz throughout the summer. Within less than a week of uploading the track online it received major support and airplay from National and Regional radio including 4 weeks on Kiss FM, plus plays across Capital Radio, D3EP (Grant Nelson's radio network) and stations stretching as far as Spain, France, Sweden and New Zealand. The single kept on growing and quickly found it's place on the 2015 CD Pool Urban Compilation album alongside artists such as Tinie Tempah, Katy B, Shift K3Y, Sigma, Lil Wayne and more. You can hear this song at my official soundcloud channel www.Soundcloud.com/ThomasTeago

Q3. You're the debut signing to the newly formed SouthShaw/Universal Music, how did they discover you?

SouthShaw records is a label that I co-found myself with my label partner Marvee Woods. From the success of my promo single last summer 'Thinkin' Bout You' both myself and Marvee co-wrote the record, plugged this ourselves to national and regional radio and gathered major support from some of the most respected DJs in the industry. We realised that everything achieved from this was purely down to ourselves through hard work, dedication, grit and determination to see it succeed and in the end it paid off. Early January 2016 we decided to put together our very own label and so SouthShaw was born and in February 2016 we was excited to announce that we were working and releasing my debut single with Universal Music Group. The future for SouthShaw is looking very good :)

Q4. Is the sound of 'Be With You' going to be typical of what we can expect from SouthShaw?

Yeah - As a label our aim is to release music that provides the public with uplifting, feel good records that is commercially universal throughout the world, bringing a positive vibe and songs that everyone can relate too. Always making sure that every release we put the SouthShaw brand too makes an impact and music we are proud of. Be With You, is a great start, the next release is even better, so keep an eye out for the SouthShaw name because we've got plenty more records coming your way .....

Q5. Tell us about 'Be With You', describe the sound and the inspiration behind it?

‘Be With You’ is my anthemic, feel-good debut single which is available now to Pre-Order on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon and other online platforms, you can listen to it on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and more. It’s what you can always expect from myself, a feel-good, up-tempo and infectious record that’ll have you playing it on repeat. If you’re into your catchy Pop, House tunes with blends of R&B and Garage then this song is for you. From the very first play, I guarantee you’ll be hooked and playing this everywhere and anywhere. This record is about being with that one person who you know you can’t really see yourself without. There’s a lot of temptations out there that we ALL go through in life, and no matter what, from Love to Hate, you always find a way through it and realize there’s only one person you want to be with, and the truth is I only want to BE WITH YOU …

Q6. The video's pretty cool, is there a story behind that - where was it shot?

The video was shot in London and Directed by Jay Parpworth. It's so visually pleasing to the eye and from the very first watch you cannot take your eye away from the screen. It’s full of different quirky, cool effects and blends various colours. The video and the song go so well together that its appealing to the eye, dancers in the video are amazing too, cutting shapes to the songs ‘Drop’ wearing LED light up trainers from my brand partners 'Electric Styles', these trainers are the hottest trend for 2016, once you watch the video you'll want to grab yourself a pair for sure, check out their range at www.ElectricStyles.com and check out the video now at my official YouTube channel www.Youtube.com/ThomasTeago 

Q7. What can we expect next from Thomas Teago?

WORLD DOMINATION, I’m just finalizing the last touches before that though ;) 

So for now I plan on making myself known here first in the UK showing audiences something fresh, current and different. I’m all about putting out great music that people want to get down to and keep playing on repeat. I’m not here to join the crowd, I’m here to stand out from the rest and bring you what I have to offer in every aspect from the music to live performances. So join the Teago Movement because it's going to be a very exciting journey ;)

 

Q8. Is there an album planned?

Yeah 100%, I’ve already got a whole bunch of songs ready for an album, which includes collaborations with George Reid from Aluna George, Grammy & Ivor Novello Award winning Rob Davis and so many other mad talented DJ’s/Producers. At the moment though I’m totally focused on putting out strong, fresh, catchy singles before looking at releasing my album, but there will be one for sure from me in the future, so keep an eye out for that all updates will be on my official website at www.ThomasTeago.com

Q9. You're press release mentions that you've worked with other artists, could we maybe expect a collaboration from you in the future?

Absolutely - As I mentioned I've had the pleasure of collaborting with the likes of George Reid from AlunaGeorge and DJ's such as Rui Da Silva and more. I think its great to work with other artists and DJ's because it brings a whole different side to your music, you bring your own sound to theirs and together it creates something totally different that makes it interesting. I'd love to work with UK Female artist Anne Marie, I think her whole sound and overall vibe is so on point and fresh, I know if that was to happen we'd create something special and as for DJs I'm a big fan of both Major Lazer and DJ Snake right now.
