In this episode of We Sound Crazy, we sit down with the multi-hyphenate actor-singer-songwriter, Terrell Carter!  While his name may not be a household one, you've definitely heard his work, from his film debut in Tyler Perry's Diary of a Mad Black Woman performing the song "Father Can You Hear Me," to his roles in the hit TV series Beauty in Black and FOX's EMPIRE. You also might know him from Perry-produced plays like Think Like a Man Too, Madea's Class Reunion, and Meet the Browns. In a candid conversation, Terrell shares his journey from touring with gospel great Fred Hammond's Radical for Christ to signing a GREAT music publishing deal with Quincy Jones and working with legends like Pattie LaBelle, Beyonce, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, and Christina Aguilera. He also reveals how reconnecting with childhood friend Stevie J led to him working with P. Diddy and the iconic Bad Boy Records. Terrell shares a story of an East Coast vs West Coast beef encounter between hip-hop group Outlawz and Bad Boy Records associated Stevie J while working in a Los Angeles recording studio that happened to have Brandy, Tamia, and Grant Hill in adjacent studio rooms!  But that's not all, Terrell gets up close and personal as he shares the story of his new book, Problem Child, opening up about overcoming the significant childhood adversities that shaped him into the resilient artist he is today. This episode is a must-listen and watch for anyone who appreciates a raw, honest story and an inside look at the journey of a true creative powerhouse.  With that said, press play ASAP!
