Tebu is a Cameroonian-born, UK-based musician, composer, producer and performer whose work moves between African, Afro-Latin, jazz, contemporary and global musical traditions.
A multi-instrumentalist working with piano, bass, percussion, handpan and vibraphone, Tebu sees music as a space for exploration, connection and transformation.
His work is shaped by decades of composing, performing, teaching and collaborating across cultures.
Don't ask which box you belong in.
Ask what you can create when the boxes disappear.

The philosophy
The Unboxed Musician
Beyond categories. Beyond expectations.
The Unboxed Musician is Tebu's creative philosophy, challenging boundaries between cultures, genres, traditions and creative identities.
It is about curiosity over conformity, collaboration over isolation and experimentation over convention.
Music
