Teresa Cole

Teresa Cole, is an Austinite of the musical city Austin Tx... an American singer-songwriter who has been a natural-born performer since the age of two. From filling the role as an entertainer at family reunion events and being coined, “Karaoke Queen” around her community, Teresa first received her big break when she was asked to sing at a benefit banquet for a huge political event. After writing her first album, "Just A Matter of Time" in 2004, she was given the opportunity to be the lead vocalist in a prominent local cover band. Teresa would successfully lead this band for 10 years. During this time, Teresa made multiple appearances on stages across Texas, most notably in accompaniment with Jason Mraz, which included a sold-out event at the acclaimed Stubb’s barbecue, as well as at the Frank Erwin Center. Additionally, Teresa has been invited to sing at two different grammy events, perform for political figures, and has met with award-winning artists such as Jimmy Jam, Ray Benson, Yolanda Adams, Paul Wall, Mary Mary Sisters, ZZ Top, and more. Other significant moments in Teresa’s career include her work in television, with an advertisement for Funk and Associates, that aired religiously throughout central broadcasts. She also took home a well-earned victory in a $5000 singing contest sponsored by Tito’s Vodka, an event that appealed to the most rising acts. Throughout her years in the music industry, Teresa has collected experience in all varieties of music and actively implements elements of R&B Soul and pop into the cover bands that she has professionally led for the last 18 years.

 

Teresa sends her sincerest thank yous to her grandmother and her father, Wayne Pittman for instilling and nurturing her singing abilities. Through their guidance and support, Teresa has cultivated a prosperous career in music and gained an appreciation for the artists who inspire her today, such as Etta James, Patsy Cline, Alicia Keys and Adele, just to name a few.
