| Captivating singer and songwriter, Tey, will entertain U.S. troops in Southwest Asia with her lush vocals and eye-catching dance moves, April 27-May 19. Her show, which includes an ensemble of dancers and musicians, offers a variety of pop, R&B and dance music, served up with Tey's trademark smooth delivery and dramatic flair.
"It's an opportunity of a lifetime to be face-to-face with the people who fight for our freedom. We will put on a show that demonstrates to our troops how much we care about them and appreciate all that they do for our country," said Tey. "As an entertainer, I feel the least I can do is be there for them and share my passion for life. I want to help them fully experience all the beauty that life has to offer, because they are faced with so many hardships at this time."
Born in the Philippines, singer, actress and model, Tey Punsalan, came to the United States as a child and grew up in Chicago. Her vocal stylings have been compared to Patti LaBelle, Aretha
Franklin, Anita Baker, Barbra Streisand, Sade and Natalie Merchant. Her third album That's How I Feel Tonight was released in 2006 and features her sensuous cover of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing," in addition to five tracks that Tey penned herself.
Tey has captured the attention of music critics as well as her audiences. "Tey is a gifted songwriter and vocalist who sets herself apart with a raw sensuality and a palpable, soulful influence that lends a melodic quality to her material," wrote Ben Nachman in Music Connections Magazine last August.
"Tey is an electrifying performer with a voice that speaks to the heart and soul," said Army Captain Trevor Garrett, Armed Forces Entertainment Southwest Asia circuit manager. "Her musical talent and striking beauty never fail to mesmerize her audiences."
