Teressa

Teressa is the head monkey in this fun act. She loves songwriting and singing. Hippity Hop Pop is her debut kid’s music album. Each song was lovingly crafted to bring joy to kids everywhere. It’s a full-length album with eleven songs. Wake up to the fun, spirited reggae song, My Morning Song and doze off to the lush, lulling vocals of A Good Fig. Hippity Hop Pop takes you from morning to night on a single record.

Teressa has been songwriting since elementary age. She has always been a creative person. She danced tap and ballet at a young age, played piano for many years, took lots of art classes, sang in church and led worship teams all over Colorado.

She took voice lessons with the famed Dr. Scott Martin. She also hones her songwriting skills by attending the Durango Songwriters Expo and taking courses through Berklee College of Music.

Hippity Hop Pop started in 2013 as a gift to a former voice teacher’s newborn and the idea to create an album quickly ensued. The teacher once said, “The baby only kicks for the good singers”. She suggested Teressa make a kid’s album. And so, she did.

Teressa G & The Monkeys officially released Hippity Hop Pop on October 19, 2019. It’s available on most streaming services, including Amazon Music, Bandcamp, Pandora, and many more.

Teressa’s first kid’s music video premiered November 2019. The award-winning video for Tub Soup is now available to watch on YouTube.

“I hope you enjoy listening to Hippity Hop Pop as much as I have enjoyed creating this special album for you and your children.”

- With love, Teressa
