Ted is a DJ/Producer and lover of all things music. Raised in Honolulu, Hawaii Ted grew up playing various instruments in island reggae bands. His father bought him a electric guitar in the first grade and taught him how to improvise over chord progressions, using pentatonic and diatonic scales. Throughout high school he began to study classical guitar in preparation for University.
At the University of Hawaii Ted would be the Hawaii state finalist for the John Lennon Songwriting Competition two years in a row. Graduating from the University of Hawaii with a B.S in Music and Management, he spent almost half his studies overseas earning credits for his degree. He then spent time studying electronic music and composition in London while under the guidance of avant-garde composer Alan Stones which would greatly influence his musical style and ultimately change the way he produced music. In the summer of 2009 Ted was accepted to the Hiroshima and Peace program and took a small brake from music to spend the summer in Japan studying the history of Hiroshima and Nuclear Weapons. As a capstone for his degree, Ted moved to New York City to spend a year as a Marketing intern for Atlantic Records.
Now with NYC as his home, Ted has released over three EP's of Original Music with Kraak Records based in Athens, Greece; a record label that specializes in all things Electronic. His debut EP "The Grass is Always Greener" was featured on Itunes as News and Noteworthy for over a month. Ted is beginning to be noticed by some of the legendary New York DJ's and has aided in production work for some of the most prolific artists. His latest track "Love it was Dub" came out September 28th featured as Beatport Exlcusive, on the german Deep House label, Pesto.
