About Tega Mendes

Tega Mendes is an Indie Soul artist based in London. Growing up surrounded by different styles of music has heavily influenced her sound, as she draws inspiration from jazz, soul, pop and rock. A deeply-rooted love of harmony is evident throughout her arrangements, from the rich layering of melodies to the characterful, and at times, dramatic backing vocal arrangements. Her music has been compared to genre-defying artists such as Lianne La Havas, Laura Mvula and ESKA. A deep thinker with an adventurous approach to composing, she is unafraid to blend quirks with calmness.
