Tez was brought up in the roots (bottom end) of the entertainment industry, born to parents who at first ran a PA company, which is now a highly regarded Staging and Rigging company. Because of this Tez was introduced to live music from day one, and caught the taste for it at a young age. She started playing the Clarinet at 7, rapidly moving on to the Saxophone at 9. Playing in school bands was just not cutting it .... So a guitar was bought and her first 'rock' band was formed at 11.
Tez spent 6 years being the guitarist and co-writer of the all-girl band 'Daze', which had it's moments of success before undergoing a stereotypical teenage hormonal crazy bitchy break-up. She put down her guitar and spent 2 years sulking.
At 19, Tez's Mum bought herself a piano, which Tez liked to think of as her own. Inspired by this new expressive instrument she began writing songs again. Over the following 2 years Tez was in and out of bands playing guitar and piano, and began to develop a singing voice. She also joined a band called Loopstorm as a singer. Loopstorm have recorded many singles, EPs and albums. Loopstorm are still alive and signed to Sonic-Hub Records. Please see www.sonic-hubrecords.com/artists/loopstorm.htm for further info and to purchase their music.
At 20 she decided to go down the solo singer song-writer route. The years following that were packed with work commitments , solo gigs, traveling, marriage, divorce and roundabouts with too many exits to choose from, which has formed the back bone of her current material. Tez sings with passion and soul whilst accompanying herself on the guitar and piano.
Two EP's are available - 'Time' and 'A taste Of What's To Come'. Both recorded and produced by Tez in her own studio. Drop us a message if you want one.
New and better songs are being churned out in preparation for her first solo album. She now co-writes a lot of material with her brother Tommy. The new stuff will haunt your soul and squeeze your heart.
Whilst working towards a music career, Tez keeps the pennies rolling in as a Tour Manager (mainly to 'Shack'), Rigger and Project Manager (including Live 8, Hyde Park concert series, Pink, George Michael, Foo Fighters, Rod Stewart, Boatshow). She also runs a company called Touring Services. Supplying Mercedes Splitter Buses, Backline and Tour Personnel. ( www.myspace.com/tezbus )
Along side all of this, a new job at The Liverpool Arena and Convention Centre as Rigging Manager has pushed Tez to a new (ish) start in Liverpool.
........ phew, surely it's time for a rest now! x
