TECLA is a first-generation New York City (Hell's kitchen) native — born of Italian and Haitian immigrants. She has gone from being a classically trained child-pianist- prodigy to versatile performer in hip-hop, reggae, punk-rock, electronic, funk bands. She has toured throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia with Chrisette Michele, Das Racist, Gordon Voidwell,Chairlift, and more. Exploring her talents on a variety of synth keyboards she discovered and developed her own modern musical sound. TECLA is understood and known for her genre-mixing melodic compositions, danceable afro/funk/caribbecan/ tropical/pop production style, and boundary-breaking songwriting and rap lyricism. TECLA has been described as "the new freak Lauryn Hill", "SWV on acid", "the Rocktronica Black Cinder- ella", "Ritchie Valens meets Pagliacci". It is hard to think of anything that TECLA cannot do as a pianist, composer,producer, DJ, singer, and rapper. As the most un-apologetically complicated gender-boundary-breaking female in the pop music circle today, TECLA will only continue to rise to a place where no one has gone before.

Both classically trained at Boston College and Berklee School of Music, they are building an impressive repertoire of worldly music. Charly and Margaux have developed a distinct sound that defies singular genres by pulling elements from baroque styles, East Asian folk, and personal bluesy flavor. The duo write contemporary pieces they perform together and with their 5pc band that includes DJ Ginyard (bass), Andy Berman (guitar) and Justin Tyson (percussion).
