There's a Perez I know
she's THEResA P.
sent her beats
to the box on my street
with beat box vox and strings
an "all together" new thing
causing hips to swing
and yes indeed
this "T" is hot
steeped in the north
infusing the west
drifting aromatic
and we are the blessed


(Stephen Beck, Chapel Hill, NC)




From slapping the guitar to Brazilian rhythms, to stomping feet in a fired frenzy while hammering a montuno away at the piano, this music never gets boring. Whether on guitar, piano, hand percussion, or a capella, this performer will capture your heart and stir your soul with her grace and energy.

"She sings from a place deep within with neither inhibition or fear. She pushes her breath around the lyrics breaking into beats and pauses and heat. She strums the guitar in steady confidence losing herself to the sound. She moves over piano keys with unusual grace her hands an extension of her smile.

Theresa Perez will be an artist to watch for years - her music at once playful and desperate her spirit both childlike and wise."
-Elizabeth Armstrong

"Solo artist Theresa Perez sings sweetly yet funktified, and soul drips from her fingers when she plays the guitar. But it is the piano through which she serves us an acoustic hot tamale. Theresa's music comes from an uncharted place off the map where cultures converge and unnecessary rules are stripped away. Strong Latin influences define a musical palette of modern/alternative folk speckled with jazz and other indefinables redolent of Ani Difranco. Spiritually charged lyrics layered with beatboxes and scats give Perez a sound uniquely satisfying on many levels."
