Teish ODay My Commitment
Born in London, Teish O Days yearning to sing from the age of 3 stemmed from her mother, a professional blues singer. Traveling through America with her parents, an American Air Force Captain, Teish was thrown under their musical influences including the likes of James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald & Aretha Franklin. As Teish drifted through the American heartlands with her family, she started to absorb the culture of American Hip-hop, which became part & parcel of her development.
Returning to England, Teish yearned to put her words into practice & began her climb to success, releasing her debut album Commitment through EMI in 2001.
This impressive, musically acclaimed album, described as a mixture of eclectic fusions, comprised of a rich & elusive blend of R&B & reggae beats with subtle jazz inflections, was reminiscent of distinguished divas like Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Holiday.
Described by The Times as the New heir to soul jazz crown with huge crossover potential.
In 2001, Teish performed at The Royal Albert Hall, at the Burt Bacharach & Hal David Tribute concert, which she describes as one of the most measurable & favourite experiences of her life. Singing a moving & heartfelt ballad written by Burt Bacharach for Dionne Warwick, Teish won over the audience with a heartfelt & breathtaking performance.
Burt Bacharach said Teish O Day is the most exciting discovery since Dionne Warwick. She has amazing control & presence.
In 2003, Teish looked for a more truthful representation of herself. After learning the business side of the music industry Teish wanted to take creative control of her own career, in order to progress & promote herself as well as other UK based artist. Teish & friends formed a company, GhetO Fabulous UK, allowing a freedom to express music without boundaries.
Fast-forward now to summer 2006, Teishs first release from her sophomore album entitled My Commitment. This beautiful laid back, soul / r&b / jazz fusion track is pure class & sophistication for the ears, so unsurprisingly is making major waves. The video for this song has received strong support from TV stations such as Channel U, OBE TV, Ben Television and especially VMX , where she has been out doing a lot of the major US artists!
"My Commitment" is now available through the following major digital music service providers: iTunes, Napster, Virgin Megastores, MSN Music Club, Sony Connect, Music Net AOL plus many more.
