Tessa Drummond is a singer, songwriter and performer that defies convention. Influences can be drawn from those of Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos, Bjork and Kate Bush, Massive Attack, but Tessa's inimitable style and voice is both unique and edgy, with its intimate and expressive emotion, far reaching soundscapes, production grooves and interesting lyrics.
Her debut album entitled "Days Like This" (2003) is a collection of introspective songs that mirror this sometimes unpredictable artist and crosses many musical boundaries from acoustic pop to electronic and rock.
"Days like this" is the result of a development of Tessa's songwriting she made at home in Auckland with her acoustic guitar during the years 1999-2000. The sound floats on smooth alternative pop-rock production with guitars, strings, electronic beats, experimental sounds and african percussion.
The album was produced by Filippo Gaetani and recorded at Le Bozze studios in Tuscany (Italy) between 2000 and 2001 helped by Sandro Ferrini. It features, among the other talented musicians, electronic music artist Eraldo Bernocchi, programmer Roberto Federighi, NZ programmer/composer Neil Williamson and talented drummer Walter Paoli.
