Terence Thompson is a versatile producer, songwriter, artist and musician. Over the span of his career, Terence has collaborated with a diverse group of artists, musicians and producers across all genres of music to include Teddy Riley of Blackstreet to prolific jazz drummer and producer Nate Smith. It was Terence who hand picked and recorded the music for Michael Jackson’s “Heaven Can Wait”’which was produced primarily by Nate Smith for Terence’s production company.

Terence also played a major role helping to launch the career of Elliot Yamin. Terence mentored Yamin before and during his time on AI. Terence’s versatility as a songwriter and producer can also be heard on Monifah’s “Too Late” and “How Ya Gonna Luv Me” (Home project) Terence and Antoinique Parker penned the lyrics for both songs. Terence also co-wrote God’s Image’s “There’s Only One Name.”

Terence wrote, arranged and produced all of the tracks on “If I Only Hand A Band”

Terence is a self taught musician with no formal training. His foundation for music production started when he was a teenager as a DJ for several local rap artists from Newport News, VA. Terence began to play the keyboard to help support samples used in his earlier productions. He would later elevate to producing sample free music. If I Only Had A Band is a culmination of all of Terence’s musical influences. Terence would define himself as a producer/songwriter/artist first and secondly as musician.

This project was conceived by Terence in early 2020 and production on the project began that summer. To bring his compositions to life, he solicited the assistance of the following amazing musicians and human beings: Jean Case (Trumpet & Flugelhorn) Michael Hudson (Piano/ EP) Bobby Raymond (Acoustic, Fretless & Upright Bass) Fritz Raymond (Acoustic Guitar) Anthony Silver (Electric Guitar) Jacques Jones (Fretless Bass) Marcus Parker (Drums) and Kera O’Bryon (Vocals).
