Teo Glacier signs to Capitol Records

24 May 2023 - Press release

Capitol Records has signed Teo Glacier – the 18-year-old, New Zealand-born, Samoan artist who found a global audience with his recent viral hit “Too Much.” Drawing inspiration from 90s R&B, Glacier’ssingular, hypnotic style is profoundly expressive. Pairing raw, contemplative lyricism with sultry sound and reverberating rhythm, his music has resonated deeply with fans, earning him a massive following across multiple platforms.

“I never imagined myself signed to a label, especially one with the history of Capitol Records,” said Teo Glacier. “I still can’t really believe it to be honest. I’m waiting for someone to wake me up and ruin this dream. It’s a dream I had from the start but it was never a goal. It always felt too impossible to actually try and achieve something like this. To the 15-year-old boy stuck in quarantine making songs – anything is possible bro, cos we did it.”

“It’s clear that Teo Glacier’s unique sound and lyricism are captivating fans globally. We are excited to welcome him to Capitol Records,” said Arjun Pulijal, President, Capitol Music Group, and Jeremy Vuernick, CMG’s President of A&R.

Ashley Page, CEO of Page 1 Management, added, "It's such an incredibly proud moment for Teo, his family, and the Samoan and New Zealand communities globally. After a frenzied, frenetic few weeks to now begin Teo's journey with the great people at Capitol Records as partner – what an unbelievable 18th birthday gift!"

Just three months ago, Glacier was busy finishing up his final year at college. Now, with the support of Capitol, he has already begun unveiling new music. Released last week, “close with desires” is already trending globally on TikTok, where it’s clocked over 350,000 creations, and Shazam. Listen to “close with desires” HERE.
