Teitur Lassen (pronounced [ˈtaitʊɹ]) is a singer-songwriter from the Faroe Islands. The word Teitur is Old Norse and means happy.
He started out in the Faroese pop/rock band Mark No Limits as its lead singer and songwriter. After quickly gaining a reputation at home, Teitur left the Faroe Islands for Copenhagen at the age of 17, finding both his voice and a succession of helping hands all over Europe and North America.
Universal released his first album, Poetry & Aeroplanes, in 2003, while Teitur found himself opening for Suzanne Vega, Glen Phillips, Aimee Mann, and John Mayer as well as playing over 300 shows through the following year.
In April 2006, Teitur parted ways with Universal due to months of legal problems and creative differences. His second album, Stay Under the Stars, was released in May 2006 in Scandinavia and produced by Martin Terefe (a-ha, Ron Sexsmith), with The Singer following two years later.
In the last few years Teitur's music has grown in a vaster, more mature and experimental direction. His long awaited follow up album, is called Let The Dog Drive Home and released in January 2011. Preceding the album, is single You Never Leave L.A.
