Emilio Teubal was born in Madrid, Spain in 1976. At that time, his parents were in exile from the dictatorship government in Argentina. After a year in Spain, the whole family moved to Mexico City where they spent five years. In 1984, with the return of the democracy, his family decided to go back to Argentina. Once in Buenos Aires, Emilio started playing the piano at the age of nine. He studied piano at the National Conservatory of Buenos Aires, and composition, arranging, and orchestration with private teachers. He was a very active performer in the tango and jazz scene of Buenos Aires until 1999, when he moved to New York City to continue his musical studies.

In the United States, Emilio earned a BFA in Music from the City College of New York, graduating magna cum laude, and achieved the Zolot Award, recognizing him as the most talented student. He also received the Bushwick Composition Award for two consecutive years. At CCNY his teachers included prominent jazz figures such as Marc Copland, Scott Reeves, Bruce Barth, Mike Holober, John Pattitucci, Cliff Korman and Alison Dean.

His credits as a jazz and tango pianist include performances with artists like the Grammy award winners Raul Jaurena and John Benitez, Bob Mover, Hector del Curto, Oscar Feldman, Yosvany Terry, Fernando Huergo, and Lucia Pulido among others. He has perfomed in the LA Tango production “El Corazon Del Tango” with the Lisandro Adrover quintet (feauturing violinist Miguel Bertero). He has performed in several prestigious jazz clubs in NYC such us Birdland, Blue Note, Iridium, Sweet Rhythm, and Dizzy's Coca Cola Club. He has also been a steady member of different New York based music groups like Sebastian Cruz's Coba, and Los Chantas Tango Group, and the Marta Gomez group, with whom he has toured the USA, Mexico, Spain and Argentina.
