Terry Myrick started singing as a child in his church choir in Tampa, Florida. It would take some time for him to perfect his vocal style, which currently includes a range from baritone to soprano, but early gospel background blessd him with the opportunity to perform on the same stage as some remarkable gospel artists, including Walter Hawkins, Tramaine Hawkins, Edwin Hawkins, Shirley Ceasar, Desiree Coleman Jackson, Commissioned, and many more.
"My most significant influences started when I began singing in the church choir at a very young age," says Terry, "which allowed me to develop an ear for music and establish the ability to distinguish three-and four -part harmonies. Having these early experiences increased my love for music, and I was able to continue learning more about music throughout my life."
Terry got his big break in show business when he appeared in the Off-Broadway musical, "Mama I Want To Sing," According to Time Magazine, "Terry performed prodigies of soul stirring," and Ebony Magazine was another publication to feature him and the rest of the show's cast. Terry went on to a starring role in "A Vision" and then to a role in "Captain," both of which were Off-Broadway musicals. His remarkable vocal range also helped him to become an "Apollo Amateur Night" winner, but Terry has also had audiences in the classroom, having been a teacher for more than seventeen years now.
Terry's latest project is his record label, Sweet Melody Records, which is named after his late grandmother, Lillia "Sweet" Mosley, and his new Goddaughter, "Melody" Torres. It is through this label that he recently released his debut album, I Bowed to the Father. "God has truly blessed his CD to come into existence," says Terry. "I am overwhelmed with excitement because I am filled with felicity to know that God has truly allowed me the opportunity to write, compose, and minister his word."
