WHAT IT IS: ¿Téo? spent years of his early life acting in major TV shows and films, so it’s no surprise that he views his music with a cinematic eye. 2023 has been a banner year for the Colombian-American artist, with highlights including performing at Coachella, selling out a headline tour, continuing to grow MSFTSrep—the brand he co-founded with with his brother, Moises Arias, and his longtime friend Jaden Smith—and prepping his latest album, Luna. ¿Téo?’s genre-bending sound, dubbed “Neo-American,” has elicited praise from the likes of Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Willow Smith and BTS’ Jung Kook. Luna, the highly anticipated sister album to his critically acclaimed project Sol, drops on 8/18.
