Behind every wildly successful pop singer stands their vocal coach. Behind The Saturdays, Misteeq, Peter Andre and countless others specifically, stands Tee Green. The vocal coach and mental health advocate is releasing the eagerly awaited ‘When Love Ain’t Enough’ this June.
A product of an uphill battle with his own mental wellness, and the workings of one of the most sought-after coaches in the industry, Green is now taking the spotlight for himself. Taking cues from retro songmakers in the charts today such as Adele, Ed Sheeran and Michael Buble, Green is set to put his own stamp on the pop charts, on his own terms for the first time.
“Music and good friends helped me to heal and gave me a reason to want to be alive again,” Tee understands what depression can do to people and said “I advise anyone who is suffering to talk to someone, tell your friends what you’re going through, don’t be ashamed it’s an illness and you’d be amazed once you open up and talk about it how many people are willing to help. Music and friends have helped me get back to what I love doing best.”
Tee has been a session singer and vocal coach for many years, singing for and coaching some of our biggest recording artists, and also this year made it into the Guinness book of World Records by being the singer who held the longest vocal note in a studio recording, beating all his predecessors, Barbara Streisand, Melba Moore Johnny Nash and Bill Withers. But after a long-term relationship break up, he sadly went into a deep depression, struggling every day. It has taken Tee a long time to deal with this, but during lockdown he returned to what he knows best. Music pulled him back into the real world.
