“Teeko is the funkiest most soulful
turntablist I have ever seen...from the cuts to the records he
chooses...I had the opportunity to hang & DJ with him in the
bay area...it was definitely my pleasure” - Dj Jazzy
Jeff
“My boy Teeko, man he got style...he
ain't weeko, he’ll make you smile!" – Dj Qbert
Teeko is a master turntablist, composer,
producer, and co-founder of 4onefunk, groundbreaking turntable funk
bands The Dollar Bin Quintet, 4onePhonics, 4onefunk Band and
F.A.M.E. (Fresh Analog Music Experience)
After receiving recognition and
championship awards in worldwide DJ competitions (uncluding DMC,
ITF and Guitar Center Championships), he toured from coast to coast
and collaborated with some of jazz’s finest musicians: members of
the Charlie Hunter Quartet and John Scofield Trio. Following an
energetic performance in a San Francisco jazz club, audience member
and legendary saxophonist Ravi Coltrane requested an encore
performance. Teeko’s performances are frequently met with such
requests as his style is often described as truly original and
refreshing.
Teeko exhibits his mastery of turntable
production in his debut album, “My SoundStation,” which exposes his
eclectic musical style and creativity as a composer. The widely
anticipated album ranked number one on several of the College Music
Journal’s Top 10 lists for months after its release in fall 2006.
He was recognized soon after the album’s debut for his excellence
in production with the Milestones Innovative Producer’s Award given
by the world-renowned Berklee School of Music in Boston.
He has most recently displayed his
innovation and creativity as a collaborator on the development of
the new Vestax turntable, the Controller One—the first turntable
engineered to be a musical instrument. Teeko was a co-creator in
the development of this revolutionary instrument, alongside a
select few of the world’s top turntable musicians, to ensure its
proper creation. Recognized by the prestigious Monterey Jazz
Festival, he and 4onefunk were invited to take the stage for the
summer 2008 festival, being the first turntable group ever invited.
This pioneering experience pushes his production level to new
heights.
" Someone I hope the rest of the world
recognizes in the near future is TEEKO from the 4OneFunk crew from
San Francisco. He's one of a few people that's doing what I
envisioned what the next step in turntable music would be. A true
musician on the turntables as well as being a dope dj. YouTube him
and see what I'm talking about." - Dj SHORTKUT (from interview with
DJ TIMES MAGAZINE)
