Background
Terry is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter with guitar as her main instrument. Her 25-plus years in the advertising and broadcast environments combine with a Master's Certificate in Songwriting from Berklee College of Music to give her unique insight into composing and producing advertising and brand music. Her style-writing ability allows projects to be composed in dozens of genres.
Her commercial experience has been expanded to include original compositions for film and television soundtracks.
Although a musician all her life, she's only recently shifted interest to develop as a singer-songwriter. Her style falls mostly in the contemporary folk, AC, and singer-songwriter genres. She currently is experimenting with reduced mix production, placing more emphasis on story-telling and dynamic performance. Her vocal delivery is pensive and authentic sounding giving pulse and breath to the characters she describes in her stories.
Both singer-songwriter and instrumental work have earned licensing agreements for commercials, independent film, and US and Canadian television programs, documentaries and reality shows that air on networks including ABC, NBC, PBS, MTV, The Weather Channel, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Planet X and Canadian Networks. Most often she works from her studios in Manchester and Waterville Valley, New Hampshire.
