Te'von

Primarily a singer, Te'von's music is idiosyncratic in it's emphasis on voice. He packs every sonic landscape with color and brilliance, often, by utilizing chordal harmonies, polyphonic melodies, and neurotic grooves. His cadences excite and flow while his notes emote and entice. An amalgamation of Black stylings past, present, and future he balances soul vocals and jazz dynamics with Hip-Hop rhythms so authentically you could forget just how distinct the styles are.

His newest release, <a href="spotify:track:0CSHty49TjQBDqXuTfOBHv" data-name="Feelthebreeze">Feelthebreeze</a>, is a hard pivot in a totally different direction. A brisk wind in the merciless summer, the 5-minute instrumental piece lays a sonic landscape one could live in.
