TEHYA, a dynamic Filipino-Native American artist, has captivated audiences with her soulful voice and versatile musicianship. The 23-year-old singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist from Los Angeles via Seattle, began making waves with her debut single "crowd pleaser" in March. Following her success, TEHYA releases her sophomore single "biscuits & gravy" on Neon Gold Records, a label known for launching the careers of Alt-Pop icons like Charli XCX and Tove Lo. TEHYA’s journey, rooted in the diverse cultural influences of her Cherokee, Filipino, and Scotch-Irish heritage, began in the Pacific Northwest, where she was inspired by her father, a celebrated funk drummer. She honed her production skills in Seattle’s vibrant underground rap scene, while developing her chops on DAW's like Pro Tools and FL Studio.
"Biscuits & Gravy" marks a bold evolution in TEHYA’s sound. Produced in collaboration with Contradash and Doc Daniel, the track infuses R&B elements with TEHYA's unique Alt-Pop style. The song is an anthem of post-breakup empowerment, capturing the raw emotions and resilience that come with moving on. As TEHYA explains, “The track itself is me just talking my shit after arguably the toughest breakup I’ve experienced. It encompasses that universal feeling of empowerment post-breakup: knowing your ex will genuinely never be able to find or emulate the greatness that was and will always be, you.” This candidness, paired with her innovative sound, makes "biscuits & gravy" a compelling follow-up to her debut, showcasing her growth as an artist and her ability to push creative boundaries.

TEHYA’s ability to blend different genres and her self-taught mastery of various instruments make her a standout artist in today’s music scene.
