Hello! I'm Terrill Jenkins, and I discovered my passion for music as a child. Growing up in a large family with diverse musical tastes has significantly shaped my artistic style, drawing influences from gospel, jazz, soul, pop, country, and more.
Originally from Jacksonville, I attended DASOTA, despite not being able to read sheet music or play an instrument. Thanks to Ms. Prescott, a supportive teacher at Stanton College Prep, who wrote a recommendation letter for me, I was able to bypass the audition process and secure a place at a prestigious art school. This was a pivotal moment in my musical journey, but that’s a tale for another time. I later moved to Austin, a thriving city for singer-songwriters that embraces original music.
Performing in Austin solidified my dream of making a living through music. However, when Covid struck and disrupted the industry, I found myself with new songs but no studio to record them. During the lockdown, I decided to invest in a home studio, realizing I could record my music myself. The journey was tough, but after three years of dedication and growth, I’ve created a sound I’m proud of.
I eventually relocated to Nashville to be closer to top-notch writers and publishing houses. Here, my sound has evolved, and I'm thrilled to announce the release of my single "Facade" on January 1, 2025, available on all platforms. This track reflects my development as a writer, musician, singer, and producer.
I'm also working on a seven-song EP titled "Life On Planet Earth" for 2025. I embody the possibilities of what faith and determination can accomplish, and I invite everyone to join me on this journey. Stay tuned for more exciting music ahead!
Love and Peace...
