ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Teitur - Singer-songwriterWhether they’re sung in in English or his native Faroese, Teitur laces his deceptively innocent songs with often stinging hooks.
Why you should listen
Teitur crafts songs with unexpected lyrical twists portraying everything from awkward love affairs to lost weekends. Although he’s written hits for singers like Seal and Corinne Bailey Rae, the best interpreter for Teitur’s songs is himself: his half-dozen solo albums have won him accolades from the Danish Royal family, the Guardian and fans around the world.
His album Story Music (recorded in a former ice factory) features contributions from legendary Beach Boys arranger Van Dyke Parks and 78 musicians gathered from his native Faroe Islands.
