Terc Martinez grew up in New Orleans.. A direct descendent of Jean Lafitte, he began performing as a young teen in the French Quarter. After training in Opera at Loyola University, Terc then pursued his musical career as a featured vocalist on numerous stages throughout America and Europe, including performing with the Bolshoi in Moscow. His ability to sing in English, Spanish and Italian served him well as he continued his musical journey from London to New York and eventually to the city of Los Angeles, where he was living and recording when Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. He decided to return to his hometown to help the city restore its musical heritage and culture, and join in the renewed efforts to develop New Orleans into a mecca for music, stage and screen.
Terc’s vocal influences include Luciano Pavarotti, Billie Holiday, Elvis Presley, David Bowie and Sam Cooke. An accomplished musician, he can play a variety of instruments, including piano, guitar and drums. He has just recently completed his album, “Canciones De Mi Alma,†a collection of classic Latin songs, and a Latin Christmas Album. Terc also plans to release a brand new album completely recorded and mastered in New Orleans...
