Sounds Like
I am a musician, a lover, a fighter, a dreamer, a truth-seeker who chooses to appreciate the sun, wind and rain, embraces the pleasure and the pain, I speak for those who have no name and sing for those whose song is ingrained into our DNA, I wait for the day when all is fair in love and war does not exist, when children can play freely and brothas and sistas are not afraid of love's kiss, for fear that it will disappear, just as it quickly as it came, I wait for the day that all are loved the same and peace is our creed, but 'till then, my heart will continue to bleed and I will forge on to the light , leaving darkness behind to attempt to immerse myself in the greatness of the Creator's mind.

These are just some of the many adjectives that describe the sound of Teisha Marie (Tea-e-sha Ma-rie).
So, what about her style ? It's inviting. It's Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin meets Nancy Wilson and Debussy.
This England-born/Maryland-raised singer-songwriter, is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, and poet. She's also one who's not afraid to take risks. After graduating from Spelman College (where she studied Music History and Theory) in Atlanta, Georgia, Teisha Marie then headed to Philadelphia. "At that particular time, Philadelphia was experiencing a rebirth of the 'Philly sound', and it was great to be fully immersed in it. I got a chance to meet the greats, like Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, Bunny Sigler, and many others."
Performing at D.C. area hot spots, such as Bohemian Caverns and Artomatic; but also all around the east coast in Atlanta, Harrisburg, and New York has proved to be both enlightening and exhilarating. Teisha reflects: "Performing for me is a way to connect with people and create an intimate experience. Music is a passion for me and I love to share my excitement every chance I get."
Fast-forward to the present:
Her debut release, Addicted to Life - The LP conveys sounds of hope, love and appreciation of life's complexities. Songs like "More Important" and "Inner Truth" touch on the value of self-reflection and sincerity.
Where does her songwriting inspiration come from?
"One word: life. Life isn't one-dimensional, so why should music be that way? Music is definitely a universal language, and I want people to listen, and understand exactly what it is I'm trying to say." With one listen, it's affirmed that Teisha Marie definitely has a "message in the music."
