Life always knows its ways when it comes to bringing together talented artists who are bound to create something beautiful.
When Nina Gat visited Monsieur Teddy’s apartment, she instinctively sat at the piano, sparking an impromptu jam session. By the end of the day, they had written, recorded, arranged, and produced the track.
Blending Teddy’s groovy basslines and sharp production with Nina’s fresh melodies and improvisation, the song captures their shared love for music while showcasing their unique styles. The result? A chill, timeless tune perfect for any moment.
THE ARTIST
Android Ethics
Android Ethics’ story is anything, but linear. Faith is the only plausible way to explain the reason you’re experiencing the art of these 5 talented musicians. The pivotal moment that brought them together was a memorable journey in 2015 that brought LA-based singer/composer Tien Nguyen (AKA SAiGO) to Bulgaria back in 2015. Born in the mid-1980s in the US to a Vietnamese family, at the time Tien was working with Georgi Linev on Kan Wakan, and through live shows he crossed paths with Bojidar Vasilev (TromBobby), Petar Yotov (Peyotoff), Evden Dimitrov (EVDN.) and Rado Kazasov (RADO) who eventually became some of the most creative and forward-thinking artists in the local alternative/beat/r&b scene.
SAÍGO
Currently based in upstate New York, Tien (aka SAÍGO) is a modern-day troubadour sharing stories and perspectives gathered from a decade of nomadic musical life. He’s lived on five different continents and views himself as a worldwide ambassador for the underground alt-r&B scenes of Los Angeles, Sofia, and Southern Brazil.
