Budding music and voice-over artiste, Terence Odenigbo, popularly known as TerryTheVoice is set to set the music scene alight with his first ever EP titled ‘Under Surveillance’ after having announced his arrival on the music scene with his debut single ‘Price on my head’.
“The EP is a 6-track compilation of musical goodness curated from personal life experiences and mixed feelings from recent events. There are a few local and international collaborations, some tracks were recorded abroad as well. The creative process is still ongoing.” he said of the EP.
“The tracks are; Foreign ft Iyah Gift; Mary Poppins; Antidote; Price on my head; Rewind ft Icy K; and International. I intend to release it sometime mid-October. All tracks were produced by my producer Jesse and mixed and mastered by Synx. Some time mid-year 2019,” he added.
Recalling how he put the EP together, he said he had to leave the country at some point, to take a break from pressure that besieged him at the time.
“I felt enormous pressure from business associates, friends, family and basically everyone else around me. I decided to set off on a trip abroad to get away from all the madness and while on this trip, I created this masterpiece ‘Under surveillance’. But ‘Under Surveillance’ is not part of the EP. Under surveillance is the name of the EP. I have a track titled ‘Under Surveillance’. It’s not finished yet though. It might make it to the EP. Like I said, the creative process is still ongoing. ‘Price on my head’ is my debut single.”
Currently not involved in any romantic relationship, the psychology graduate of Godfrey Okoye University said it was a woman that influenced one of the tracks off the EP ‘Mary Poppins’.
“ ‘Mary Poppins’, a track off the EP was inspired by a lady I met in Iowa on my way back from Las Vegas while on my US tour. She inspired that track. It would be false to deny that the female folks have a bit of influence on my music though. We had a mental connection right from the airport. This connection sparked an immediate conversation and we kept this convo going for hours while waiting for a connecting flight. I think it unlocked a perspective I wasn’t seeing from,” he said.
TerryTheVoice started his professional career in 2017, doing music and voice-overs and describes his kind of music as ‘Amazin Music’, a fusion of multiple genres from contemporary Hip-Hop to Pop to Afro-Pop.
