Member-only story
What’s your artist name and where are you from?
Terry Jones, I’m from Pittsburgh PA.
Why do you love music?
I’ve always loved music and felt a bit of a calling. Music is one of the ultimate forms of expression, one that can be enjoyed without translation. No matter the genre, it’s the ultimate art form. I remember being obsessed with songs by MJ and Prince. My parents always had Marvin playing, Al Green playing and so many dope artists. I would watch Kool Moe Dee and thought rapping was cool. Music has a way of touching lives and creating relatability even without lyrics.
What makes you different as a music artist?
I started in entertainment as a stand-up comic. I think because of how hard it is to be creative alone on stage. I have a fresh perspective and respect as an artist. Just like Childish Gambino and Jamie Foxx before me. Comedy has a form of music in its delivery, flow and presentation. So new flows and new delivery is always fun for how my music sounds. A lot of people have complimented my style. Many have been telling me I have a unique sound and I have what it takes to be a top artist. I also want more than Fame. I want to make classic music.
