Only 17, Teddy Geiger debuted his first album, Underage Thinking, for Columbia Records in February 2005. A songwriting prodigy, Geiger is a self-taught musician who wrote and arranged complete original compositions on guitar and piano by age eight. With a cutting edge sound of new-school pop and the musical sophistication of a soul informed by rock's glory days, his raspy voice is reminiscent of unique artists such as John Mayer, Chris Martin and Dashboard Confessional, with a touch of Cat Stevens.
Geiger was discovered after a national performance as one of the finalists on VH1's "In Search of the New Partridge Family," by producer Billy Mann, who has worked with Sting, Pink, Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson and Kelly Rowland. Mann, impressed with Geiger's talent, worked to make the rising young pop star's debut album a reality.
Although his career is just getting started, Geiger already has a loyal fan base of self-proclaimed "Tedheads." In addition, in a recent Rochester, New York Battle of the Bands, he emerged as the $1000 grand prize winner, donating his winnings to tsunami relief efforts.
