Bio
Terry Gray is a producer, songwriter, and artist from the Twin Cities area. His style is straight-ahead R&B infused with Pop sensibilities and arrangements.
Terry's list of musical influences are as wide and varied as contemporary music itself - Prince, Sting, Jam & Lewis, Babyface, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire, Tori Amos, Teena Marie, Mint Condition, Scritti Politti, Bjork, Nirvana, George Clinton, and Lennon and McCartney - just to name a few.
Terry composes and records in his home studio in a quiet suburb of the Twin Cities. He is also a partner of The TLM Group, a larger recording facility located in downtown Saint Paul. Terry has written and produced tracks for several TLM artists.
Terry's philosophy of music is that the song should always come first, and that songwriting is a craft.

In 1992, he scored the ACE nominated documentary, "A Palace Fit For A King" commemorating the Minnesota Winter Carnival's ice castle built when Minneapolis was host to Superbowl XXVI.
