Terrell has always had big dreams of becoming a well-respected artist in the music industry. This dream began when he was only four years old. He and his mother Phylicia would travel along the highways as she would play music from artists such as: Musiq Soulchild, Jill Scott, Prince, and Anita Baker. But there was always this one pronounced voice that stuck out to him. It was Fantasia Barrino. Though Terrell was so young, he instantly fell in love with the vocalist. He had learned mostly everything about her. As he got older, he aspired to be more like her. Once he reached the age of seven, and fully understood the struggles she had endured to reach that level of success, he made the decision that he wanted to be a professional singer. He admired her and felt if she could make it, he could do the same.
So, he went to his music teacher and expressed to her his feelings about wanting to sing. Coincidently, there was a back to school event coming up and he, along with one of his classmates, sang. To his delight, everyone enjoyed his performance. From that day in 2009, he practiced singing every day. He hoped to make his vocal abilities the best he could. Terrell sang day in and day out, imagining himself on a stage performing in front of millions of people. But one day in 2013, he was a part of the school choir Mouth Pieces. Because he was one of the best altos, he was asked to sing along side some of his classmates at the black history program. Performance day came, and he did well again.
As Terrell got older, he began to encounter some things in life. At times, he felt as if there was no one to turn to, which essentially led to him writing his feelings down. The feelings turned into poetry which turned into songs. Not only did this stimulate his mind, but it provided him with an outlet to express himself emotionally. He even went so far as to sing some of his own works. He took music even more seriously now. Then his dream changed to become a professional singer and song-writer.
Now, Terrell has evolved into a well-rounded young man. There are still a few aspects of his life that need working out, but for the most part he is growing positively at a steady pace. He gets booked to sing at different venues and has composed a lot of musical and literary works. He works every day to become a better singer and writer. He has become an amazing artist and is on a journey to continue a long career as a well-respected artist.
Well, Terrell sounds like an awesome kid. Hope he makes his dreams a reality one day!
