Gabriel Teodros is a storied emcee, producer and DJ from South Seattle who first made a mark with the group Abyssinian Creole, and reached an international audience with his critically-acclaimed solo debut Lovework. He has been setting stages on fire ever since, all across the US, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Ethiopia and South Africa; often in combination with workshops on creative writing, music, history, science fiction and media literacy.
His latest album, From The Ashes of Our Homes, opens with a reflection on the day Teodros and his spouse fled from an actual house fire, and expands to a full-length meditation on the loss of home and safety so many of us experienced these last few years as a result of wars, the pandemic, the climate catastrophe, and more - and how do we build something new from the ashes of all of our collective homes.
Focusing again on collective work throughout 2025 and 2026, Teodros has leaned into the production side of music more than ever before, and now has full-length projects set to be released with Prometheus Brown, Rell Be Free, Dakota Camacho and the long-awaited return of Abyssinian Creole - all being launched under the collective banner of People Need Water.
