The Spanish music scene is home to a diverse array of musicians, but one artist stands out for his unique sound and approach to music. Teo Planell, a young musician from Madrid, has been writing and playing in the streets for some time, but it wasn't until the summer of 2020 that he decided to take his music to the next level.
Inspired by the success of Rex Orange County, who released his first album at the age of 16, Teo decided to record his first EP with producer Roy Borland. The result was "Let It Bloom," a warm and upbeat track that showcases Teo's love for cinematography. The song features samples from the classic film "The Apartment" by Billy Wilder, adding a layer of depth to the already engaging track.
In addition to his love for film, Teo's music is also influenced by American folk and the indie rock scene. His second track, "(The Place)" was inspired by the music of Bon Iver and the soundtrack to "Once," while his third track, "April," is influenced by the more recent sounds of Frank Ocean and James Blake.
Teo's passion for film extends beyond just his music, as he has also directed his own music videos with the help of friends. With an EP on the way and plans for future collaborations, Teo is just getting started on his musical journey. As he puts it, "It makes me very happy everything that is happening around me and I hope it's just the beginning."
