They say the place you grow up in influences you for a lifetime, whether that’s it or a God-given talent but what transmitted to Teitur the poetry and sensibility that show through his songs certainly deserves its share of credits.
At 17 years old, Teitur left his homeland of Faroes Islands, a group of Danish islands in between Scotland and Iceland, to make a career in music, sing and write his own lyrics, looking for inspirations by traveling the world. His career starts when he signs a deal with Universal to play guitar and sing in a small band. The musicians go to record and play in Los Angeles, Spain and Denmark and gain a lot of experience, experience that leads Teitur to his very own solo debut, “Poetry & Aeroplanes”.
The album allows him to build himself a solid reputation in Europe as well as in North America, and the acoustic sound of his songs, driven by a suave voice and thoughtful lyrics, manages to conquer his own public. But what’s even more impressive is the talent that the guy shows on stage. The Nordic is very well known by all of the most influential music festivals in the whole world, he went on tour throughout the US and Canada along with folk sensation John Mayers and even got his very own world tour in 2004.
The public, the medias and the industry are affirmative; he is without a doubt one of the most promising new talent in nowadays folk.
Up and ready for new challenges, Teitur is heading back to the studios to record his new record that should see the daylight in Spring 2006.
