TEL is an alt/punk artist, from western Canada. Channeling raw emotion and unfiltered storytelling into every song. Growing up in a troubled home, with nothing but music as a lifeline, TEL found hope, comfort and strength from the artists he listened to. Now, they’re on a mission to pay it forward, writing songs that speak to the anger, pain, joy and hope that the world gives and provide a space for others who feel the same.
Released in December 2024, TEL’s debut album “I’d Rather Feel It All Than Feel Okay” is an unapologetic outpouring of resilience and rebellion. A rally cry for anyone who’s ever felt lost or alone. With influences rooted in pop punk, emo, and alt rock, TEL paints a story of pain, trauma, grief and hope.
More than just a musician, TEL is a movement. Driven to build a world where pain has purpose and community. TEL's artistic journey has been marked by a relentless pursuit of authenticity, creativity, and combining the nostalgic sound of the bands we know and love with a new, modern approach. Their music serves as a conduit for self-discovery and rebellion against the status quo. Their music resonates deeply with audiences, offering a space for listeners to find solace, empowerment, and a sense of belonging.
