About Me

BUY NOW! http://cdbaby.com/cd/octaviusterryBIOGRAPHYWhat's up everybody! THE COUNTDOWN IS ON, CAUSE I AM FINALLY LOS ANGELES BOUND! 6 weeks, and will be relocating to LA to pursue my career and music dreams! Please check back soon for new footage of upcoming live performances as my band and I get ready for the new CD! I am finally back in the lab, and on the road. I know it's been a while, but thanks to everyone for being patient, and supportive! You know how it is, sometimes you have to "rebuild to grow", so stay positive!R&B, Neo-Soul, Old-School Essence--you can choose the label. Whatever the case, it's unmistakably music that moves you down deep and it's being brought to you by Octavius, with the help of his close companion Passion.Octavius delivers story with song; music he describes as "Poetic Romanticism." With smooth vocals and sweet melodies strummed on his Washburn acoustic guitar, affectionately named Passion, Octavius brings life to his lyrics.To hear him is to feel him. "My music represents everything about me...", he says. It's a deliberate yet seamless blend of old soul with the new soul of hip R&B because he feels, "... we can always learn from our past, and our future is nothing without it."With musical influences ranging from Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye to Brian McKnight and Maxwell, you'll hear in his music generations of soul music come together.Octavius has been honing his writing and vocal skills in his hometown of Atlanta, GA, where the underground music scene has produced artists that are reshaping today's R&B sound including Joi, India.Arie and Donnie. And with this resurgence of music of and for the soul Octavius is inspired to bring his own heart stirring music to the offering.Prepare yourself ... for THE experience. Alright, enough of the "Bio!" I'm just a down to earth brotha that is originally from Atlanta (Grady baby for all of you that know the truth!" Some of you might know me from running track at GA Tech back in the day and a couple of US Teams. But now, it's all about my true passion, real live music! If I'm every in your city, please come out and support because I promise I won't dissapoint you, I guess it's that true southern charm in me. Anyway, thanks to all of you out there that are keepin real live music alive, even if it has not gotten its credit on the radio yet, but that time is comming. See you soon....Love O.
