Teena May grew up in the small town of Winchester, VA. She began playing piano by ear at age 5 and at age 15 she began writing poetry. Growing up in the ‘90s her musical taste was mainly angsty chick-rock from The Cranberries, Alanis Morisette, Cheryl Crowe and artists of the like. Right before she went off to college a family friend gave her an acoustic guitar. She learned the instrument and transitioned from poetry to songwriting.  

She moved to LA after graduation to pursue a career in TV and film production leaving music behind or so she thought. She couldn’t stay away and found herself singing and playing piano in churches. After six years in LA, she wanted to try something new so, she packed up her life and moved to New York City In October 2012. The following year Teena May experienced deep depression and used her pain to pen the album “Nice Man, Cold Beer”.  

Now, much more happy and healthy she’s raising funds in order to record her album, while playing various open mics and shows in both LA and New York City.
