Unmasking His True Identity, TEO Presents "Ego" - A Bold and Personal Musical Revelation

Colombian pop-urban singer and songwriter Teo unveils his latest single, "EGO," a heartfelt open letter to a former love that delves into his deep emotions. Despite a year having passed since their separation, Teo's love for her remains unwavering. However, their unresolved situation is plagued by the stubbornness of their egos.

While Teo doesn't explicitly confirm that "EGO" is based on a personal experience, he emphasizes his love for storytelling.

“Sometimes I do tell my own stories," the artist behind "EGO" explains. "Nevertheless, these stories are always heartfelt. In this particular instance, the egos of the two protagonists loom large, preventing them from initiating the necessary steps towards reconciliation."

In terms of achievements, one might expect Teo to possess a considerable "EGO" given his ongoing success and remarkable accomplishments. Recently, he earned a nomination in the "Musical Promise" category at the HEAT Latin Music Awards, just a month after releasing his single "EN ALTA." The track has garnered an impressive 370 thousand streams and continues to climb the popularity charts, securing the #17 position on Billboard's Latin Pop Airplay chart.

Teo, who embarked on his solo career after being part of the musical duo TEO & JAY in 2020, has released five singles over the past year: "Chocolatico," "Neptuno," "Thai," "En Alta," and now "Ego."

"I like to express my feelings, striving for complete transparency in everything I undertake, allowing people to perceive me as I truly am and know what I feel," states Teo.

Teo embraces his promising future, finding joy in every aspect of his artistic growth and development, including the production of his music videos.

"Filming EGO was an extraordinary experience. We embarked on the shoot right after completing the music video for 'ALTA.' Spending three days in Medellín… Collaborating once again with Nael, the brilliant director behind all my videos, and jointly exploring ideas was nothing short of amazing. Nael possesses an incredibly fresh perspective when it comes to capturing visuals, and our understanding of each other's creative visions has been seamless. It brings me immense pleasure to witness his artistic process and be an integral part of it. I am constantly fascinated by the unique images he suggests, ones that I could have never envisioned while writing the song. It's a process that I truly enjoy." describes Teo.

In recent months, Teo had the opportunity to grace the esteemed Viña del Mar Festival stage, where he proudly represented his Colombian heritage through an electrifying performance of his song, "Chocolatico." During his two performances, Teo realized a cherished dream shared by every artist: leaving an indelible mark on that legendary stage and basking in the thunderous applause of over 15,000 people each night.

"It was an absolute privilege to share the stage with such esteemed figures from the music industry. The entire experience was beautiful. ‘El Monstruo’, the endearing name for the passionate audience at La Quinta Vergara, showered us with unwavering support. Their continuous applause throughout our shows was truly heartwarming. Stepping onto that stage, the energy was indescribable. It was a truly magical moment that words fail to capture," the singer humbly expressed while reflecting on his performance.

"EGO" was written by Teo himself in collaboration with Hellen Urrego and Cristhian Mena, better known as Saga White Black, who also served as the producer of the track. The song was mastered by Esteban Piñero and features Cristhian Mena on piano and guitar. It is now available on all digital platforms!
