TEITUR

Although Teitur's music contains many elements, there's no denying its beauty and sadness. That might have something to do with where he's from. His native land, the Faroes Islands (between Iceland and Scotland), are a remote group of islands that are part of Denmark. It is a rugged landscape with breathtaking views and lots of wind and rain. Teitur's early musical pursuits took him away from home at the age of 17 and he honed his writing and performing skills performing around the world. After signing to Universal Records in the U.S., he recorded an amazing album, Poetry and Aeroplanes, in Denmark, Spain and Los Angeles, featuring a small group of musicians who captured the warm, organic sound of his intimate, acoustic-based songs. Gradually released around the world, the album has built a steady following in the US, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Canada, Holland and Germany and other countries. John Mayer, with whom Teitur has toured, gave him a boost when he mentioned him in an Esquire magazine article, saying "music like this is jet fuel on the fire of a broken heart."
