From an early age, traveling has been a fundamental part of Terence's life. 

​

Born in Brazzaville-Congo, raised in Pointe-Noire, forced to flee to Europe with his family because of the Congolese the civil war.

 

A life defined by a perpetual movement. 

​

And when that need for movement could not be met, Terence would find solace in music.

 

Growing up in a family that celebrated its diverse culture on a daily basis was another foundational point.

 

His father (and him) loved Congolese music: Koffi Olomidé, Franklin Boukaka or Papa Wemba. His mother introduced him to the Soul classics of Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers and Sadé; his sister is a Hip-Hop and R&B expert and his brother introduced him to Nirvana. 

​

Music was always part of the family. 

So, Terence used all these influences to craft an identity unique to him and explore more unexpected sonic landscapes in his musical journey.

​

With this in mind, he studied Jazz at The American School of Modern Music in Paris, was a guitar player for Rhys Chatham and his experimental Guitar Trio project.

 

He then used his guitar skills as a side-musician for french singer-songwriter Peter Lorne during the promotion of his first record Corrado.

He also worked for musicians such as Ambre Dessart and recorded Waves/Erased, french pop-rock band Diamond Fizz's first EP. 

​

Keeping up with his need for exploration, he scored music for "Rengle: A Man on Heels", a documentary about Romania's first openly LGBTQIA+ superstar.

​

Terence is now currently working on his first self-produced EP "The Perks of Being an Afterthough", a culmination of all his influences and experiences.
