Teeel (Jim Smith) is a synthpop dreamwave artist from New Jersey and owner of the electronic music label, Synthemesc. Inspired by italo, electro and the 80s new wave movement, Teeel aka Jim Smith credits his sound to marathon movie watching and being an obsessive gear head. Creating music in a 10×10 teal painted room, stacked with synthesizers and guitars with walls covered with vintage Moog ads, Jim creates music that ranges from hypnotic synthpop to dreamy disco and dark electronica. His critically-acclaimed debut album, "AMULET" (Moodgadget) has generated quite the buzz in the blog world as well as being featured on KEXP radio. "Dark Passenger" was featured as "Song of the Day". His sophomore album "University Heights" (Synthemesc) was just released carrying an 80s movie theme with heavier guitars and synthesizers. Although Teeel is a fairly new project, Jim Smith is no rookie in the music industry. Performing in bands and DJing in some of the top clubs in the Tri-State area since 1996, TEEEL has honed his craft and continues to push forward.
