About Teitur:
Look out, the musician’s favourite singer-songwriter is coming to the Great Hall in Toronto on Tuesday, March 6, 2012 with a new album. Says KT Tunstall: “he is the sound of melting ice, haunted woods and beautiful honesty”. He is Teitur (Tie-tor), a man from the Faroe Islands who turns music into magic beautifully and effortlessly.

Teitur released his first album, Poetry & Aeroplanes, it’s simple, sincere songs made it a critical hit. He toured the USA and Canada extensively, performed on American chat shows, watched as his songs got snapped up for film soundtracks (My Super Ex-Girlfriend and Aquamarine), and attracted the attention of respected singer-songwriters like Rufus Wainwright, Aimee Mann, KT Tunstall, Ron Sexsmith and John Mayer, all of whom took him on tour. John Mayer said of the album in Esquire Magazine: “..it may be one of the best albums to come around in the last five years..”.  Minor radio hits in the US followed, but a real fan base developed and the album became a cult hit, and rave reviews for gigs helped grow the story. During this time, he managed to co-write a song on the 4 million selling debut album by Corinne Bailey Rae.

Teitur released his second album Stay Under The Stars in 2006. A record full of richer writing and bolder characters, spawning the huge radio hit, “Louis Louis”, and established him as a major star in Scandinavia and built his reputation across Continental Europe, with main stage appearances at Roskilde (opening the Festival with Radiohead in 2008), Benicassim, etc. By 2008, he had completed 700 gigs in 20 countries in 4 years, which earned him the reputation of one of the hardest working artists on the road.

During 2010, Teitur recorded his stunning new album Let the Dog drive home in Denmark and mixed it in Norway, an album which combines the quality of songs from his first album, with the broad appeal of his second, and some of the coolness of the third, The Singer.

In the meantime, Seal heard Teitur’s song “You Get Me” and recorded it for his new album, which has recently been released, going top 20 around the world.

Teitur’s new album Let the Dog drive home is out in most of Continental Europe (already top 10 in Denmark and charted in Holland) and South Korea preceded in the UK by the single, “Betty Hedges”, and “You Never Leave L.A.” in Europe.
