TeawhYB
Alt-Hip-Pop artist TeawhYB is not for the close-minded. A role model for the next generation of hip-hop culture, the Wisconsin-raised vocalist balances the highs and lows of relationship culture through an intimate and eclectic catalog. An outspoken advocate for mental health and personal identity support, the gay-identifying artist injects positivity on the taboo with a fun-spirited sound.
Formerly noted for his college-life, party-induced sound, TeawhYB took a hiatus from a budding music career while coming to terms with his personal identity. He has since redirected his auditory creativity in a kind of metamorphosis, so to speak.
"From a caterpillar to a butterfly," says TeawhYB, "it's like that break I took was my cocoon, it allowed me to grow, mature and evolve to the point where there's no way my music could be the same...because I wasn't."
Whether it's blending country-pop into the summer smash "Cabin" or conjuring up a dance-craze like the "Bob Ross", the mainstream underdog gives us a reason to care, but also to have fun.
