TES is a Cuban-born artist whose brand is rooted in soul, authenticity, and a mission to create timeless music that emotionally resonates with listeners. His purpose is to inspire, heal, and make a real difference through music that leaves a lasting emotional imprint. What sets TES apart is his unique sound—a blend of the golden era of hip hop with modern production elements. He fuses gritty chopped samples, live instrumentation, and boom-bap rhythms with today’s trap drums, synth layers, and atmospheric harmonies, creating a fresh yet familiar sound that honors the past while pushing boundaries.
With nearly a decade of experience, TES began his journey as a producer in 9th grade, using FL Studio to make beats for a close friend. Over time, his frustration with waiting on vocalists led him to explore songwriting and develop his voice as an artist. One of his biggest influences remains that same close friend, a fellow producer whose feedback, support, and trusted ear have played a vital role throughout TES’s creative process.
TES is currently focused on promoting his debut album REPO, which released on April 20th. The project showcases his range as both a producer and artist and features collaborations with some of his closest creative partners. While REPO is his first official release, TES has earned honorable mentions for his production and engineering contributions to MANÜEL’s latest work and the full catalog of ANDY DOMINGUEZ.
Looking ahead, TES is excited to build on the momentum of REPO by collaborating with artists from diverse backgrounds and continuing to evolve his sound. He aims to refine his craft, expand his reach, and consistently offer listeners a new and exciting perspective on what the TES brand represents. With more music, stories, and creative ventures on the horizon in 2025, TES is just getting started.
