About Tess Roby:
Tess Roby’s explorative brand of electronic music continues to remain unique and visionary. A classically trained vocalist and a self-taught synth player, her songs ride the lines between pop, ambient and alternative folk structures, with an emphasis on voice as instrument. Her sophomore album, Ideas of Space, came in a process of moving towards full artistic independence. Roby acts as songwriter, producer, musician, music video and art director; and the album was released on her newly launched record label, SSURROUNDSS.
