Telula
Bio
Followed by hundreds of thousands of fans around the world, their music and videos streamed & viewed by millions, Telula’s shared love of funk is evident in their music. They take inspiration from greats such as Stevie Wonder and modern masters like Vulfpeck, while incorporating their own pop and jazz influences with contemporary twists. Their music is soulful and dynamic, featuring intricate melodies backed by funky rhythms.
Telula formed when Lucas Aney and Thomas Jensen met in college in 2021 and found common ground in a passion for funk music. They built the band and learned how to record, produce, and release music – all out of their dorm. Their work paid off with the 9-song album "3 3 3", each track showcasing their unique sound and individual proficiency on bass and guitar.
They released "3 3 3" in 2022 at the age of 19 and the 5-song EP "Fade" a year later in 2023. Festival, headline and support shows followed in 2024, and the self-titled "Telula" album was released in early 2025.
Summer '25 began the release of the T3LULA project, featuring instrumental funk fusion with drums, bass and guitar. The band quickly followed up in the Fall with a 20-track live in studio performance called Telula Live I. Joining Thomas and Lucas to bring the sound to life on stage are Tais Torres on vocals, Lars Asmundsson on drums, Conor Smith on sax, and Pete Rosales on keys.
