Tehillah is making waves as one of the most exciting voices in both mainstream and indie music, blending her love of disco-dance with thought-provoking lyrics that move people physically and emotionally. A self-taught music producer, singer-songwriter, and filmmaker, Tehillah’s rise in the music world is marked by passion, resilience, and an unshakable dedication to her craft. Since her debut in 2020 with the powerful track “Sister’s Keeper,” she has shown a remarkable ability to channel her creativity into music that resonates deeply with listeners.
Tehillah’s artistic journey has been shaped by a childhood spent composing piano pieces and writing poetry. Her love for these art forms has evolved into a dynamic career where she not only creates captivating beats but also tells stories that matter. In 2021, her talent and message stood out in the Future Youth Records’ “Think Women” songwriting contest, where her inspirational song “We’re Beautiful” earned her the top prize. The track served as an anthem of empowerment, a theme that is a recurring force in her music.
Her influences, which range from iconic black female artists like Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Destiny’s Child, and Rihanna, to gospel duo Mary Mary, are woven into the fabric of her sound. Tehillah has a gift for channeling the energy of classic ’80s, ’90s, and early ’00s club music into her work while keeping the lyrics grounded in personal, relatable experiences. Her music not only makes people want to dance but also leaves them with something to think about.
In early 2023, Tehillah released her debut EP, “Be Confident,” a project that encapsulated her message of self-assurance and strength. The EP, along with its accompanying music video, garnered attention from several film festivals, with the video being selected for the Fisheye Film Festival, among others. This marked a significant milestone in her career, positioning her as a multifaceted artist capable of delivering not just sonically rich music but also visually compelling stories.
However, despite the triumphs, 2023 also brought challenges. The sudden loss of a loved one hit her hard, shaking her world and bringing her music production to a halt. In the midst of grief and personal struggles, Tehillah questioned whether she would continue with her planned releases. But, like a true artist, she turned to music as an outlet for her emotions. What began as a way to cope soon reignited her passion. Within a surprisingly short time, she produced and wrote her newest single, “Still Here.”
“Still Here” is more than just another release for Tehillah; it’s a deeply personal reflection of her journey through loss, perseverance, and the rediscovery of hope. Written and produced in a fraction of the time it usually takes, the track became a testament to her resilience as both a person and an artist. The single has now grown into a full five-track EP and visual album, aimed at encouraging others who may be going through their own struggles. Through this project, Tehillah seeks to remind listeners that, despite the hardships, they are still here, and there is always hope for the future.
Tehillah’s story is one of rising through adversity and creating beauty out of pain, with each note and lyric she crafts. She continues to captivate audiences with her fresh take on disco-dance music, blending nostalgia with modernity, while also delivering heartfelt messages that inspire. It’s clear that Tehillah’s music is not just something you hear—it’s something you feel.
