Bio

Teresa's journey started at age ten when she began arranging piano solos in different keys and playing oboe in the high school level band at summer camp. She moved on to play in state wide high school honor bands at fourteen and that same year started playing trumpet. Two years later she earned a spot in the Northwest Honor Band at Minot State University and also took up singing. That same year she sang in the University of North Dakotas honor choir, one of the most prestigious in the state, and starred at high school state vocal competition.

Amidst all of this, at age sixteen, she had started teaching herself guitar and writing songs. As a young girl in small-town North Dakota, there were no top-40 stations, so she grew up listening to Pink Floyd, Queen, and the Beatles. In high school she gravitated to the Beatles, No Doubt, Green Day, and Alanis Morrisette. All these influences, combined with the Top-40 beats Teresa enjoys today, have melded to create her unique artistry, which also speaks of the lessons she learned living in small prairie towns.

As these experiences have shaped her creativity, she attended college as a vocal performance major and earned her Associate of Science in Vocal Music from Utah Valley University.

In the past two years Teresa has been honored to perform at Puyallup Fair, Northwest Folklife, Alki Art Fair, a packed Tacoma Rainiers game, Kent Fourth of July Splash, and other local venues.

In 2009, Teresa co-produced and released her debut EP, titled "Teresa Anderson."  She earned second place in South Seattles Got Talent contest, and Lakewood's Brightest Star vocal competition.  She continues to perform throughout the Puget Sound.
