The story
Tela infuses Memphis soul with funk, rock and the grassroots sound of Southern hip-hop. He began his career in the late 1990s and landed a deal with Suave House Records where he dropped his critically acclaimed debut album “Piece of Mind”.
In 1997, he signed with Rap-A-Lot Records home to multi-platinum artists Scarface and Ghettoboys. His hits include “ShoNuff” featuring Jazze Pha, “Tired of Ballin” and “Sex Faces” with Scarface and Too Short. His latest release “Celebrate”, produced by platinum producer Blac Elvis, is a feel-good celebration of life with a sound reminiscent of a night in Las Vegas. It is the lead single off of his forthcoming “Grown Rap” project which has a soulful sound mixed with elements of hip-hop, blues, and jazz. Production on the album will include tracks from fellow Memphis creatives Jazze Phae, Drumma Boy, Blac Elvis and Atlanta’s own Cory Mo. To Book Tela Follow @TelaOfficial
