Pete Teo (, born 26 December 1972), is a multiple award winning Malaysian singer songwriter, film composer and filmmaker as well as a sought-after actor in what has become known as 'New Wave Malaysian Cinema'.

His work is associated with non-partisan reform politics in Malaysia – in particular, using new media resources to promote wider democratic participation, press freedom, and racial unity.

Teo's work has been featured on the BBC, CNN, KBS, NHK, as well as numerous international film festivals and arts events.

He has made some of the most watched viral videos in Malaysia.

Teo was born in Tawau, Sabah, Malaysia.

He began his career with two albums as a member of the cult Hong Kong indie duo "Mid-Century" 「中葉」.

2004

Rustic Living For Urbanites won the Best Music Video and Best Album Cover category at the Anugerah Industri Muzik Malaysia (AIM – Malaysian Music Industry Awards) 2004.

2007

His follow-up album Television – an alternative folk music album filled with reflections on a media saturated world and Americana – won all 3 categories it was nominated for at AIM 2007 – Best Album Cover, Best Music Video and Best English Album – where Teo emerged as the biggest winner of the night, the first non-mainstream indie artist to do so in the history of the awards.

"Television" subsequently became the first Malaysian record to be licensed and released in South Korea.

Teo was also the first ever Malaysian artist to play at the South By Southwest music festival in Austin Texas in 2007.

2008

In April 2008, Teo independently produced a zero-budget, non-partisan, non-profit, multi-artists recording of his anti-racism composition 'Here in My Home'.

Entitled 'Malaysian Artistes For Unity (MAFU), the project attracted pro bono participation from over 50 Malaysian artists, media personalities and arts activists – including Ning Baizura, Awie, Afdlin Shauki, Jason Lo, Maya Karin, Tony Fernandes, Jaclyn Victor, etc. and many others personalities and volunteers.

The music video for the song, directed by Yasmin Ahmad and Ho Yuhang premiered at the Malaysian Music Industry Awards 2008 to a nationwide television audience.

In the weeks subsequent to its release, the video became one of the most viral videos in the world – reaching as high as no. 3. Both the song and the video are available for free download on the project's official website.

2009

In 2009, Teo released 15Malaysia – an anthology of 15 short films themed on social political issues in Malaysia.

The project became a watershed in Malaysian popular and political culture, not only by featuring politicians as cast, but also recording more than 15 million visitors on its project website in 60 days.

The feature-length version of the films has since been exhibited worldwide including at the Pompidou Paris, Golden Horse Awards, Busan International Film Festival, Rotterdam International Film Festival and more.

In the same year, his compositions for the soundtrack of Yasmin Ahmad's film Talentime became popular in Malaysia – with the song Pergi (performed by Aizat Amdan) winning the "Song of the Year" Award at the Anugerah Juara Lagu.

2011

Teo released a music video promoting the vote entitled Undilah in 2011.

Featuring celebrities and both government and opposition politicians, the video was banned for broadcasting by the Information Minister Rais Yatim shortly after release.

Teo was also listed by CNN as amongst the 135 Asians to watch.

2013

16 September 2013 – Teo released "Hari Malaysia" – a music video funded by the public celebrating the 50th year of the formation of Malaysia.

Made with archive news footage and extensive CGI visual effects, the video featured a cast of superstars and politicians including Michelle Yeoh, Nurul Izzah Anwar, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Ambiga, Namewee and more.

The video also featured the songs "Slipstream" (performed by Melina William) and "Kembara" (performed by Asmidar).

Together with Liew Seng Tat, Teo released “Citizens”, a remarkable 2017 National Day video with the Transport Minister of Malaysia Liow Tiong Lai playing both himself and a confrontational citizen.

Rather than celebratory as was normal practice, the video was somber in its questioning of the country's direction, unprecedented in its apologetic confessions and provocative in its use of visual imagery.

2018

2018 saw the world premiere and Golden Leopard nomination of “A Family Tour” by emigre China filmmaker Ying Liang at Locarno Film Festival starring a leading cast of Gong Zhe, Nai An and Teo.
