TEE-M (Tariq Mirza) grew up in Karachi, Pakistan hearing rock/pop on the short-wave radio, listening to street musicians playing the tunes of the land and learning to play on a hand-me-down guitar.  
 
TEE-M recently completed his first album EARTHIOTIC...songsfromaoneroompalace, which made it's worldwide debut on "Rock 50" internet radio show on WPMD.org. The CD was reviewed and critiqued live by Bernard Baur (Music Connection) "TEE-M is a very, very solid songwriter...this album is a remarkable achievement," and Mike Stark (Author, Black Sabbath: An Oral History) "I'm a huge fan...I love this record." 
This was the first time ever that an album by an unsigned artist was reviewed and critiqued live by two nationally known rock writers. Andrew T. Mackay of Bombay Dub Orchestra from London says "It's a great ROCK N ROLL album. Melodies that grab you, shake you and then caress you."
