Eliza Tebo is a versatile D.C.-based singer-songwriter known for music that packs an emotional punch. With crystalline vocals and relatable lyrics, Eliza captures an audience's attention and keeps it.
Eliza’s debut jazz record took home the 2023 Wammie Award for Best Jazz Album. She released her first pop album (Vol. 1: The Life and Times of Gemma Sky) earlier this year, as well as the Americana single, "Virginia is for Lovers." She is currently at work on her third album, a collection of lo-fi original pieces called Everything Matters and Nothing At All.
Eliza’s new single, “Virginia Is for Lovers,” dips into the Americana world and was recorded in Nashville and produced by Ryan Levine (formerly of Wildling). Released just ahead of Valentine’s Day 2026, the song is an ode to those who are still yearning for their dream and features contributions from Eric Cannata (Young the Giant), Jason Cannata (Wandering Bird), Trevor Bahnson and Hannah Connolly.
This March, Eliza released her second album—a pop project titled Vol. 1: The Life and Times of Gemma Sky—featuring the singles “Fountain of Youth,” “Photograph” and “Don’t Mess With Me.” She is currently at work on her third album.
Her debut jazz record earned the 2023 D.C. Wammie Award for Best Jazz Album. Subsequent releases include a raw, minimalist interpretation of Joni Mitchell’s “River” (2023) and holiday jazz single “A Child Is Born” (2024).
A graduate of Howard University and former member of its acclaimed vocal jazz ensemble Afro Blue—featured nationally on NBC’s The Sing-Off—Eliza has performed at The Kennedy Center, the U.S. Vice President’s Residence, B.B. King Blues Club, and international venues in Jamaica and Bermuda.
