小简介

singer/songwriter has the style and sound reminiscent of the past, a voice with a core of grit and soul dipped in honey sweetness. Her artistry and style was built from the environment of her hometown: Detroit Michigan, otherwise known as Motown.

By her early teens this songbird was performing in the regionally known band Tri-Star as well as recording background for artists such as Simply Red.

She made her solo debut in 1999 with her critically acclaimed self-titled Warner Bros album that spanned two Billboard singles "Better Than Me" and "Strayed Away". She was then featured on the remix to Eric Benet's number one smash "Spend My Life With You" as well as singing a duet with recording artist Jaheim that appeared on his double platinum album "Ghetto Love". Terry has also appeared on numerous soundtracks such as "Rush Hour", "Bait ", "Deck The Halls" "Bring It On 2" and "Legally Blond" where she was featured along side the "Black Eye Peas;" front man WILL.I.AM who then went on to feature Terry on their underground jam "Lay Me Down" from his "Lost Change" album.
