This first time I spoke to Teezo Touchdown was a year and a half ago, when I helped introduce him to readers for his first major interview with Pigeons & Planes. But these other characters, they’re bigger than life to me.” And it’s like, when you look in the mirror, and you see yourself, I don’t see the big hoopla. This is the same person that my dad gets.
Right now, not to be cliché, but Teezo is literally myself. “I was like, ‘Damn, that’s really true.’ Because I don’t know what I want Teezo to be yet. “ was like, ‘It seems like you have more fun being everyone else but Teezo,’” he shares. This is when I learn that Teezo Touchdown-even with his Tyler, the Creator co-sign and gifts from stars like Madonna-is still figuring it all out. I ask him about all the characters he’s introduced to fans over the years, and he recalls a conversation he had with Austyn a few months back. In a sense, we’re looking for Teezo Touchdown.Īs I watch, he digs through the locker and pulls out costumes, including some pieces he put together for a character he calls Bloody Hell, who only appeared during his London show in 2021. But I soon realize we aren’t looking for any particular prop or memory.

The Beaumont, Texas artist promises me that he and his boys (creative director Austyn Sux and photographer/actor Jacob Ford) are only at the storage facility to grab a couple things, but it begins to feel like our mission holds deeper meaning.

The contents of the locker double as an archive of his career so far, including hundreds of Teezo’s signature yellow sticky notes, inked with positive messages like, “You’re the biggest star ever.”
Inside, the walls are lined with 50 rotating fans from the “I’m Just a Fan” music video, football pads from his first live performances, flame-embroidered boots, and an unopened box of what he thinks might be edibles from Madonna. There are no obvious giveaways that it belongs to Teezo, and I luckily don’t step on any of the nails that he usually wears in his hair. When we arrive at the storage locker on a Sunday afternoon in mid-March, Teezo is only an hour away from playing his first of two back-to-back shows at the nearby arena in support of headliner Tyler, the Creator.įrom the outside, the locker looks like it could be anyone’s. Music video props and personal keepsakes have been chaotically packed into boxes at Gotham Mini Storage in Manhattan, a couple of blocks away from Madison Square Garden.
