Soul is dead, then the solution is Tim Terry. A native of Memphis,
Tennessee, whose musical influences were Rhythm and Blues' disciples
of Soul, Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Willie Hutch, Al Green and
Isaac Hayes. Their spirits led a young Tim Terry into the river's
bank to be baptized in funk and chosen to spread the gospel of soul
revival. In an industry where talent is not appreciated or respected,
Tim Terry is determined to bring the honesty and purity of music
back from the dead. "Music can be political and moving without
celebrating hate." His music transcends musical boundaries
and ethic regions and does not forget to honor love.
Tim Terry's humble beginnings
as an artist were recognized in the church, which soon led him to
become a major force in the gospel industry. Accompanying such respected
artists as Bobby Jones and New Life, The Music City Mass Choir and
featured appearances on the Trinity Broadcasting Network and The
Dove Awards.
As a singer, songwriter,
and producer, this prolific artist made a smooth transition into
the rhythm and soul arena. His talents were evident and in demand.

Cameo. endowed him with the grass roots to found his own production
company, T. Terry Productions, where he has assisted other artists
in perfecting their musical abilities. He is currently featured
on Nick Cannon's album on the song "My Rib." His current
project, "The Tim Terry Experience," embodies a multitude
of musical influences and journeys through the pains of life and
love through song.
What challenged Tim in
this day of sampling and throwbacks is to put real R & B back
into the music using real, identifiable players and great melodies
and lyrics. Tim's new album, or CD as we call it these days, is
filled with soulfully funky and romantic excursions into his life's
experiences. Tim hopes to challenge the listener and let him/her
make their own decisions about his music, because he gives his heart
and soul with great care and sincerity to fill a void that has been
missing from the airwaves for too long.
With songs like
"On the Dance Floor," "Get It On," and "Can't
Get You," Tim wants to soothe the savage beast within US all.And
with his flavor of organic vibration that will make us fall in love
again and again. His live show is not one to be missed either. It
consists of a live band with horns, bass, drums, guitar, keys, and
background singers. He goes all out to excite the listener and make
everyone get down. Tim Terry is poised to share his version of Memphis
history with world and get people feeling the groove once again.
