Tey

Born in the Phillipines, Tey came to the States as a child and grew up in Chicago. She spent her youth there with her three brothers, and attended both catholic and technical school. She also grew up with a cornucopia of animals, fish, pigs, dogs, rabbits and cows. Tey's taste in music runs the gamut, she likes it all, even country. Her vocal stylings reminds listeners of some of some her favorites like; Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Barbara Streisand, Sade, Natalie Merchant, not bad company to be in especially when you sound like Tey. Not to mention she has a falsetto and she knows how to use it.

Tey is girl that loves chocolate (dark with almonds), books, music, comfy blankets, did we mention chocolate and books, well let's mention them again. This girl can go through more chocolate than the Hershey's factory, and always remains looking stellar. But don't give her frog legs and flying fish liver, if it lives on earth, doesn't have wings, and tries to get airborne, she may not like the way it tastes.

Tey constantly reads and writes music. She has been writing as long as she can remember, the first song she ever wrote was "Come Fly With Me". Her favorite color is white. Tey likes things décor in white as well, she says it's what heaven is depicted like. Depicted is the word she used.

Tey doesn't claim to be a daddy's girl, but she does claim to be a Chi-town girl. As a world traveler, one of her favorite places is the 64th floor of the renaissance hotel in Detroit where you have the view of both the city of Detroit, Canada and the water. She says you couldn't ask for more. "I think just seeing the world from the top is incredible."

When asked about what nicknames she has, the answer- none. Just Tey. But not before joking about it. Tey's sense of humor and attitude are like half sunshine and half moonshine. In everything her aura of positivity comes through, just listen to her songs. There is a unique quality to her that will no doubt keep her at the top of the world. She also says temper and patience are her strongest points but they are also her weaknesses ..hmm go figure.

Amongst the songs she wished she would have wrote are "My Prayer and On&On". More so she hopes that someday someone will say that about her songs.

Everyone knows in California you're bound to get an earthquake or two, which tops the list of strangest things she has ever seen. Tey says she woke up in the middle of the night and the walls were dancing, and not to one of her remixes. "I thought I was dreaming or going insane, I've never been in the middle of that."

Focus is very important to Tey as well. She focuses on the present and everyday furthers her own abilities and discovers more of her talents which she says is one of the most amazing things about life. Her work ethic is stellar. Try to catch her with just five minutes to herself, good luck!

When asked about believing in supernatural things she says she always has, and when asked where she saw herself in five years." i'd have a perfect home with no annoying neighbors, have 5 platinum records, at least one a year, have traveled the world, have a fast car and a fast boat, and be with a strong man cause 'it takes a strong man to carry a strong woman'.

Now Tey's talents don't just stop at music, she is also a starlet. Tey has been acting since she was waist high to a dandylion. She likes the comedic roles, and dark characters. Among her dream roles are cat woman, wonder woman, joan of arc, or lucy (I love lucy). Which is fitting since she loves romantic comedies so much.

Tey wears one more hat as well, she models! As if you couldn't tell. When asked is she could choose to be successful in just one field she said, "super successful acting career but can we say that on my music website?"

Here's something that we can and definitely will say, fastlane. Tey would rather jump out of a plane than race a car, she digs roller coasters and prefers no panties.

Now among some of her achievements she has gotten these accolades; best actress, class brain, best costume, and miss Asia Midwest. She is still working on winning the lottery.
