Ted Tarling

Everyone loves to say they were a fan of ‘insert artist name here’ before they were famous, right? Well, if that’s the case then ‘Heard it Hear First’, terrible pun aside, is your go to destination to discover your new favourite act and keep up to date with the latest and most exciting emerging artists currently on the scene.

Today you can say you heard ‘Orbit’ by Ted Tarling here first! 

21-year-old Ted Tarling is a London based Pop artist, singer and songwriter. Born and raised in Derbyshire, UK, his music and visuals reflect the duality of his rural and urban upbringing. With a playful and nostalgic sound similar to the likes of Sir Elton John and Alfie Templeman, Ted says he wants his music to ‘distract people from the everyday, smile, get up and dance’.

Since starting to perform at local venues from the age of 17, Ted has gone from strength to strength, collaborating with Austrian Producer Ninski on their track ‘Orbit’ which has amassed over 240,000 streams to date, alongside working with TIMEA on their celebrated summer anthem ‘Call me, Catch me’.
