Songbroker Song of the Day: Theolonius Feargus Kelly - 'Tuesday'

Theolonius Feargus Kelly was born 1998 in Hamilton, New Zealand to poet and guitarist parents.

In 2012 he began learning music production from his uncle and it was in 2015 that he cut his teeth with the release of 'Otikes'. The single was followed by 'Flora and Fauna', an EP that received local radio attention in 2016.

Feargus Kelly left school during his final year to pursue music, selling CD's and playing live shows around Auckland City.

Returning in 2019 with the release of albums 'Feargus' and his most ambitious work-to-date, 'Outsider', these were the first releases to be on streaming platforms under his own imprint Petty Cash Records. Before the year was out these were followed by EP's 'fayrghus' and 'shampain', as well as the self-titled album 'Theolonius'.

To date, Feargus Kelly has worked with international recording artists Ironik, King Klovd, Shogun Joseph, Booshido, Slug Christ, Kane Grocerys, Zeen Sloshenburger, SKYXXX, Donny Blanks, Exorcism For Girls, Wormfarm, Gawd Graza, Lil Scumbag, Codyfvcknbrown, Brentrambo, Tru Sno, Wisdom, F1lthy and Lil B.

His track ‘Tuesday’ is a slick, moody, atmospheric instrumental with a hip-hop, trap beat. Very evocative and cinematic. Listen here:
