Teezo Touchdown will be taking over First Avenue on Friday, May 10th. This show was originally supposed to be at the much more intimate Amsterdam Bar & Hall in Saint Paul but was moved due to the hype surrounding this show and seems to have turned into the talk of the town.
Combining emotive vocals with stylish pop punk, R&B, rap, and whit, Teezo Touchdown makes defiant soundtracks for dreamers. Hailing from Beaumont, Texas, his shapeshifting sounds have earned him an expansive fan base and support from artists like Drake, Travis Scott, Tyler, The Creator, and more, illuminating his presence as one of music’s most inventive new creators.
He shines brighter than ever on HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?, an exuberant new album drenched in playful self-awareness, yearning sincerity and effortless versatility. Coated in splashes of feathery falsetto and existential confusion, the LP’s first single, the autobiographical “Familiarity,” sees Teezo remembering his decision to chase musical superstardom. On “Daddy Mama Drama,” he sinks into sentimental acoustic guitar for a rumination on familial strife. Open, honest and endlessly dynamic, it’s Teezo Touchdown 2.0, the latest step in an evolution that began years ago.
The son of a DJ, Teezo emerged in 2020, a year that saw him drop singles like “BadEnough,” “Rooting For You,” “Careful,” “SUCKA!,” “Strong Friend” and “Social Cues.” With their inventive accompanying videos, the releases propelled Teezo into the national consciousness, where he’s remained since. In 2021, he secured more attention when he appeared on Tyler, The Creator’s standout Call Me If You Get Lost track, “RunItUp”, before joining Tyler on tour for the album. The same year, he established himself in the fashion world by appearing in campaigns for Telfar, Heaven by Marc Jacobs, and Givenchy. Since then, he’s gone on to collaborate with Travis Scott (“Modern Jam”), Don Toliver (“Luckily I’m Having”), Paris Texas (“Full English”), Lil Yachty (“The Ride-”), and more. New music means that list will only grow. Teezo’s level up is the result of goals he set for himself years ago, and with the release of HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?, he can dream bigger than ever.
