Today we’d like to introduce you to Terrell Fure’
Hi Terrell, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I am a foundational black American dancehall reggae artist. Born and raised in between Long Island, Queens, and Brooklyn New York. As a young artist I performed a host of back yard house parties, basement house parties, local talent shows, and clashed several local reggae artist which then I created a huge buzz. Landing me getting interviewed and my music played on local radio stations. My passion for reggae began as a dancer who’s moves were taught by then my mother’s boyfriend named Sprocket. Sprocket would freestyle and create his own reggae dances while reggae dancehall music would play from his sound system. Then I would follow his lead also adding my own twist as he danced while crowds of people watched in admiration- As a teenager while then growing into a songwriter/Artist I was mentored by another dancehall reggae artist named Dreadful who has now passed on. Dreadful taught me ‘ the sound of quality material, he always kept me on my toes and lyrically sharp. Recently getting major support from other artist like legendary rapper Trina, legendary rapper Jadakiss, the Queen of dancehall Spice, Dancehall reggae Legend Cutty Ranks, dancehall reggae artist Mr Lexx, Dancehall reggae artist Looga Man from dancehall reggae artist Sean Paul’s Dutty Cup Crew and other well known reggae artist. My aim is to continue do what I love and what I’m passionate about. To continue to be a voice for the people who share the same or similar thoughts and experiences but are voiceless or don’t know how to put it in words. Also to give another perspective and bring new ideas. Today I am consistently putting out hit music and getting booked for shows to perform live.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No it has not been a smooth road. The obstacles and challenges I faced were shady studio engineers who would try to take their time with mixing your music because of jealousy, studio engineers switching up on the agreement you made with them prior to recording session because of jealousy, studio engineers saying they couldn’t find your music after a recent studio session you had because of jealousy, videographers purposely taking too long to edit your video because of jealousy then when you finally get the video it looks like they didn’t really edit it.🙄🤬 Also shady scamming promoters 🤬People in the music industry can be shady at times but the good outweighs the bad.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
