Biografia

Teitur (born 1977) is a singer-songwriter from the Faroe Islands. He has toured extensively throughout Europe and the United States since releasing his major label debut, Poetry & Aeroplanes. He is probably best known for his song “One and Only”, which appeared on soundtracks to the major motion pictures Aquamarine and My Super Ex-Girlfriend, and for his 2004 nomination for the Shortlist Music Prize.[1] In 2007 Teitur was named Best Male Artist at the Danish Music Awards[2], and in 2008 he opened the main stage for Radiohead at the Roskilde Festival.

Teitur has also shared a stage with Rufus Wainwright, Suzanne Vega, KT Tunstall, John Mayer, and Aimee Mann. Although considered firmly within the singer-songwriter genre, the last few years have seen Teitur’s music grow in a vaster, more mature and experimental direction, including a recent collaboration with contemporary classical artist Nico Muhly. Teitur’s latest album, “The Singer”, was released worldwide in the spring of 2008.
