You've seen him in the Tyler Perry Productions of "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" the movie," Madea's Class Reunion", " Meet the Browns" and "What's Done In the Dark". He stands 6-foot-5-inches, natural good looks, with a rare gift. Although his background may be common to many, Terrell Carter has more to his credit than most have within the life of an entire career.
After being noticed while singing at church in Detroit, gospel great Fred Hammond auditioned him and seamlessly Carter found himself working with Hammond and later with a host of others. His classic sensibility and non-formulaic approach can be attributed to years of absorbing the irreplaceable soul in the music passed down to him through the gospel music of the church he attended with his mother and grandmother in his native home town on the east side of Buffalo, New York. His drive and confidence were born from his desire to rise above the despair that surrounded him on the often-unkind streets of east Buffalo.
The strength and unwavering integrity of his musical talent are obvious in his strong vocal performances that are touched by classic R&B rhythms and laced with the truth often apparent in Gospel soul. His vocal range, skilled writing and vocal arranging capabilities, as well as, his passion for the creation of rich soul music have won not only praises from some of the heaviest names in the industry, but also, many request from some of today's living legends. Terrell's voice has accompanied artists such as India Arie, Faith Evans, Patti Labelle, Christina Aguilera , and famed drummer Sheila E.. He has toured with Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, and Yolanda Adams - some of todays most widely acclaimed gospel singers. Obvious influences are Karen clark sheard, (Terrell's absolute favorite singer) and Donny Hathaway.
Terrell has Three independent Albums to his credit that can be purchased on Terrellmusic.com, The story, Terrell Terrell and Carlela's Reign which features a soul touching duo with India Arie.
