TERRENCE OLIVER IS MANY THINGS.
A native of Newark, New Jersey, Terrence came to love music through church. While he began singing at the age of 6, he did not take to the stage until he was 12 years old. It was at a junior high talent show where Terrence sang on stage for the first time, his rendition of Luther Vandross' So Amazing.
Terrence studied classical music and musical theater. After graduating from boarding school in Connecticut and deferring his admission to the prestigious Vassar College, Terrence ventured to New York City in search of a recording contract. At the age of 18, Terrence found his way into the music industry.
Terrence has performed at showcases, benefits and open mics including Nells, Wilsons, Groove, The Apache Cafe and the Village Underground. Terrence even opened himself up to modeling. Terrence can also be seen as a model in Maxwell's Video titled: "Lets Not Play the Game." It was a song from the Best Man soundtrack.
Terrence would later return to the church and join Total Praise, a 150 person gospel choir in Brooklyn, New York where he was a soloist. The choir released their first critically acclaimed recoding Total Praise Live in 2003. Going back to the church was important to his growth as a person and an artist. Terrence believes he was called from the choir to share his gift with a larger audience.
You can hear Terrence's influences in his vocals, melodies and lyrics. Growing up, he listened to R&B, Hip-Hop, Gospel, Jazz and Rock. His CD collection ranges from Donny Hathaway and Biggie Smalls to Maroon 5 and Cassandra Wilson.
While he is many things, he is always TERRENCE OLIVER a fierce vocalist and songwriter who is destined to win the hearts of the world.
