TETO

TETO is the alias of 28-year-old Claudia Riley.

Having just moved out of home at the age of 18, she decided to pick up DJing to further indulge her passion for music, not quite realising where it would take her. Little did she know, her life was about to take off on a very different path the moment she got her first ever club set at Cassette Nine’s ‘The Wall’ back in 2016.

TETO spent her formative years as a regular in Auckland/Tāmaki Makaurau’s club circuit, exploring an array of styles within house music and refining her sound as a DJ. She held down a residency for 2 years at one of Auckland’s top nightclubs and frequented events around the city. 

She then caught the attention of George FM who then offered her a resident spot on the George FM Nights roster in 2017.

She has now played festivals all across New Zealand/Aotearoa such as Rhythm & Vines, Hidden Valley, That Weekend and Baseline, as well as supported international acts such as Oliver Dollar, Rebuke, Salute, Baltra, Cut Snake, Confidence Man + many more.

She entered the production realm in 2020 kicking off with her remix of Willy Mav and Elipsa’s ‘Without You’, followed up with her first ever original track ‘Overdrive’ in 2021 and then in 2022 ‘Tora’ was released under kiwi label Glass Half Full.
