Tessa (rapper)
Danish rapper (born 1997)
Theresa Ann Fallesen (born 8 September 1997), known professionally as Tessa, is a Danish rapper.
Early life
Tessa was born on 8 September 1997 and grew up with her mother in Greve, Zealand. Tessa's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when Tessa was 9 years old, and they subsequently moved to Nørreby on Funen for quieter surroundings. Tessa was bullied at the new school. Called 'Tessa' by her mother throughout her life, she only became aware of her "real" name (Theresa Ann) as a young teenager. As a young teenager, she was inspired by the Danish rapper Natasja and the Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj, and she taught herself English and to rap by rapping American rap songs. In 2012, as a 15-year-old, Tessa committed a shoplifting in Odense, and she subsequently traveled to Copenhagen, where she moved in with her father in Askerød. She subsequently also committed shoplifting in a shopping center in Malmö, and then chose to move away from her father and live on the street. Tessa lived on the street in Copenhagen for approximately a year and a half, during which she supported herself by shoplifting and the help of friends and acquaintances. At 16, she decided to turn her life around and got an apartment and a job with a cleaning company.

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q83629957. VIAF identifies the subject as 5149106372968492921. None of the 3 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1997 and 2012.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
