"Office Of The Levites"

About Me

He’s played on the stages of Africa, Australia, Canada, Europe, South America, New Zealand, and all throughout the United States. He’s played for every major Gospel artist who has ever recorded to include—Thomas Whitfield, Marvin Winans, Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Israel Houghton, Martha Munizzi, J. Moss, CeCe Winans, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Vickie Winans, Judy Jacobs, Mary Alessi and more. He is renowned bass guitarist Terrance Palmer.His musical journey began with his mother first noticing her only child’s keen sense of music at the age of three. Years later his pianist uncle would share his gift of music with him. Several instruments later and after transforming an acoustic guitar into a bass, Palmer proclaimed the bass to be a good fit for him at 17 years of age.He initially honed his skills during a short stint of formal training in the latter part of his high school reign. Within only two years, Palmer was on stage with the likes of legendary artists Dionne Warwick and Aretha Franklin; while adding his rhythmic blend on the albums for such gospel greats as Thomas Whitfield, Vanessa Bell Armstrong and Witness.Upon reflection, Palmer knew that by age 17, his destiny was fulfilled. The bass guitar has allowed him to share his gift with thousands of people both nationally and globally. Seeing first-hand the energy and exuberance of live audiences inspires Palmer during performances--an experience incapable of being duplicated.A former founding member of Fred Hammond and Radical for Christ, Palmer credits Hammond for introducing him to studio production and sequencing. Today, as part of the Grammy nominated, Soul Train, Dove and Stellar Award-winning gospel group Israel Houghton and New Breed, Palmer appreciates the partnership he has formed with music director Aaron Lindsey and founder Israel Houghton to create a new movement in Gospel music.With over fifteen years of experience, Palmer’s vision is to one day host seminars throughout the United States to empower and educate young musicians about the industry.When not on tour, Palmer can be found with his wife and two children playing at his home church, Straight Gate International in Detroit, Michigan under the direction of Bishop Andrew and Pastor Viveca Merritt.
