Tei Shi
Valerie Teicher Barbosa (born 4 October 1989), best known by her stage name Tei Shi, is a Colombian and Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer based in New York City. She released her first singles and music videos in 2013, also performing live for the first time at CMJ. Tei Shi released her debut extended play, Saudade, in November 2013, which Noisey described as a "layered masterpiece of melodies... expertly entwined vocal loops, and shivery sonics."
In 2014, she released two singles: "Adder(f)all" and a cover of Beyoncé's "No Angel". She was also a guest artist on the track "Holiest" by Glass Animals, an English indie rock band. Her second extended play, Verde, was released in 2015. Her debut album, Crawl Space, was released on March 31, 2017, and her sophomore LP La Linda on November 17, 2019. On July 17, 2020, Tei Shi released the EP "Die 4 Ur Love", with a deluxe version following on December 11, 2020. On June 16, 2022, Tei Shi released the single "GRIP", her first release as a fully independent artist.
Teicher was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina to Colombian parents. After spending her childhood in Bogotá, her family later moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. She is the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors and was raised Jewish. She attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, and afterwards moved to New York City.
In the summer of 2013 Tei Shi released her first single, which she announced would later appear on her upcoming debut EP. Titled "M&Ms", Dummy Magazine called the single "transportive and exceedingly gorgeous," stating "minimal background instrumentation is limited to an echoing drum track, mouth organs and a few lonely guitar bits, but they provide a solid framework for her soft, cooing a cappella." A video was released along with the song, and directed by singer-songwriter Grimes' brother Mac Boucher.
She performed her first shows in the fall of 2013, playing at CMJ. According to Noisey, she loops live vocals during her set to create a layered effect.
On November 1, 2013, she released the second promo song for the EP, titled "Nevermind the End". The Fader called the track "slinky" and "more traditionally structured" than her first song. Kim Taylor Bennett of Noisey described the track as one of the "best seven songs" of 2013, and praised her lyrics, harmonies, and tonal buildup. Hypetrak wrote that Tei Shi's "airy" vocals "contrastingly bump well with the heavy production and hints of charming synth pop."
A third promo single, "Nature Vs. Nurture", was released on November 5, 2013. Stereogum wrote that the track is a "cascading bedroom-R&B and future pop track that evolves from quiet, but dizzying layers of harmonies into fleshed out vocal rounds with a Tropcalía-tinged backbone."
Tei Shi released her six-track debut EP Saudade, on November 12, 2013. Among her collaborators was her friend producer/writer Gianluca Buccellati, who she had met while a student at Berklee. The word "saudade" is Portuguese, describing a sentimental yearning for someone or for the happiness of a former place or time. Her previous singles were included on the EP, as well as several new tracks. According to Noisey, it is a "layered masterpiece of melodies that duck and dive, expertly entwined vocal loops, and shivery sonics." Saudade later received a physical release in 2015 through the indie label Turntable Kitchen.
