The transition from music blog darling to pop stardom is not an easy one. Fortunately, Valerie Teicher, also known as Tei Shi, is on the right track. Initial releases like “M&Ms” and “Nevermind the End” earned her some well-deserved buzz, but 2015’s “Bassically” put her on the radar for many, earning her opening slots for the likes of Years & Years and Grimes. After nearly four years of putting out singles and EPs, she signed with Downtown Records in 2016 and released her anticipated debut album Crawl Space in March 2017.
