As his management contract came to an end, he decided to have a short break from his work which he never had before. On 7 August 2015, Nicholas came back from his "Long Vacation" after 8 months of continuous filming his idol dramas, "K Song Lover" and "Lady Maid Maid". The Malaysian government appointed Teo Penang's 'green ambassador' to spread awareness on environmental issues. He also successfully completed his From Now On Concert Tour covering stops in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia within the first half-year of 2008. In 2006, Nicholas received the 2006 Hito Newcomer Award in Taiwan. Play Music is a record label subsidiary of Singaporean company Musicstreet Pte Ltd. Music Street eventually merged with Warner Music. On 18 June 2004 he released his first album 首選張棟樑 (“1st Choice Nicholas”). This led to Nicholas signing a contract in Taiwan with Music Street in 2003. Nicholas won first place with the song 黃昏(Huáng Hūn), originally sung by Zhou Chuan Xiong. He returned to Malaysia without finishing his studies and participated in the singing competition "2002 Astro Talent Quest". Thereafter, he was approached and asked if he would sign up with a company as a back-up singer (backing vocalist, to harmonise with the lead vocalist), which Nicholas subsequently ignored. (Malaysia)īefore returning to Malaysia, Nicholas was studying in Taiwan, where he won the Best Singer in a competition among all the Taiwan universities. Not much can be said about Téo as this is his first project but I can predict promise from this young artist.įavorite Tracks: “Belong In The Sun (feat.Nicholas Teo ( Chinese: 張棟樑 pinyin: Zhāng Dòngliáng Jyutping: Zoeng1 Dung3 Loeng4 Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiuⁿ Tàng-niû) is a Malaysian Chinese singer under Good Tengz Entertainment Sdn Bhd. Featuring Lido, the two sing harmoniously sweeping the listener off of their feet and to the dance floor. It can be expected that most will be attracted to “Belong In The Sun” with its playful and fun rhythm that urges a dancing sensation. Ominous sounds linger in the background of some songs but only for the emphasis on the forefront beats of a clap or plucked string. However short this piece is, it has a way of taking the listener away to a serene place like an island where there is nothing but you and the waves. There are many natural elements to his sound that don’t always come easily to an artist and Téo capitalizes on that especially on songs like “Thru My Hair.” The guitar is a prominent instrument through the entirety of the album but the sweet sounds of the Spanish guitar seems to carry him in this track and he floats so gracefully. Not only are they peaceful but they are sonorous in every way possible throwing a certain flavor in the ears of all who are listening. With a Columbian background, Téo showcases the influence of his culture directly through the melodies of his album. I am always on the hunt for eclectic sounds and Téo has convinced me that he is one to keep an eye out for. Centering around self-enlightenment and self-awareness, Téo has taken a different approach to how music is made and has been very conscious of the messages he has spread. Starting off on Soundcloud, he released singles like “Selfless-ish” sampling a beat from J.Dilla and “Pleiadian Message” collaborating with Jaden once again.

Little by little, they created their own vision and music videos until it came time for Téo to branch out and create his own path. This isn’t a new venture or something done out of spare time as he has been on songs with Jaden Smith for years contributing to their brand of the MSFTSrep.

Contrary to belief, he wasn’t a Disney star that was known for his musical or singing talent so it came as a surprise, that all of these years later, he came out with a self-produced album. Mateo Arias, also known as Téo, has come a long way since his days as an actor on shows primarily on the Disney Channel network.
