Thanks for the great LP; thought provoking conscious lyrics and smooth production. My favourite dance floor cut is the bruk cut 'More Importantly' which works very well and I will be supporting with club and airplay. May the gifts and talents you have been blessed with continue to make room for you and inspire, uplift and encourage others out of a dark place. Blessings from a LDN soulsistah xx
Thanks Teisha Marie, lovin what you do too, especially like "more important", great voice.
I'd be up for doing something with you if you're into it and not restricted by your label whatever. Anyway, if you're willing and able, I'm up for it, just let me know and we can take it fro there.
I dig yours too! Listing to Ravel and Debussy tells me that you're a classically trained pianist! Thanks for adding me as your friend. Have a great day. Peace.

About:
Inviting. Intriguing. Delicious.
These are just some of the many adjectives that describe the sound of Teisha Marie. So, what about her style ? It's inviting. It's Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin meets Nancy Wilson and Debussy.
This England-born/Maryland-raised singer-songwriter, is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, and poet. She's also one who's not afraid to take risks. After graduating from Spelman College (where she studied Music History and Theory) in Atlanta, Georgia, Teisha Marie then headed to Philadelphia. "At that particular time, Philadelphia was experiencing a rebirth of the 'Philly sound', and it was great to be fully immersed in it. I got a chance to meet the greats, like Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, Bunny Sigler, and many others," she says.
Performing at D.C. area hot spots, such as Bohemian Caverns and Artomatic; but also all around the east coast in Atlanta, Harrisburg, and New York has proved to be both enlightening and exhilarating. Teisha reflects: "Performing for me is a way to connect with people and create an intimate experience. Music is a passion for me and I love to share my excitement every chance I get."
Fast-forward to the present:
Her debut album, Addicted to Life - The LP, conveys sounds of hope, love and appreciation of life's complexities. Songs like "More Important" and "Inner Truth" touch on the value of self-reflection and sincerity.
Where does her songwriting inspiration come from?
"One word: life. Life isn't one-dimensional, so why should music be that way? Music is definitely a universal language, and I want people to listen, and understand exactly what it is I'm trying to say." With one listen, it's affirmed that Teisha Marie definitely has a "message in the music."
