Terone
Out of Columbus, Georgia, I bring forth my brand of Hip Hop music best-described as "the merging of southern soul and lyrical finesse."
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Since 2001, I have applied my creative approach to all aspects of music-production, including songwriting, recording, composing, mixing, mastering and even album artwork. Life's experiences fuel the texture of my writing and can be best witnessed on my most recent release, The VOLTRON Project, in which I compile the finer points of several relationships in an attempt to create the perfect female for myself.
Over the years, I've put together hundreds of instrumentals supplying both myself and other emcees and R&B singers around the nation. I've self-produced two independent albums, and I have been featured on a few different nationally-distributed mixtapes and compilations, most notably being 2005's Pop the Trunk Mixtape, Vol. 2. I've been performing off-and-on between Columbus and Atlanta.
I also comprise one-half of the I.V. (Illegitimate Voices) duo, linking up with Kaleal Crooks, with whom I have helped set the foundation for what is now Silver Pharoah Productions.
