Bio:

Terri was born and raised in south Louisiana. She is presently employed at the local hospital in her home town as a Respiratory Therapist. Terri began her music career at the age of 18, playing in local bars and private clubs. Her songwriting, however, began at the early age of 13 when she received her first acoustic guitar. As a self-taught musician (watching her older brothers in the business; getting lessons when she could), a few of life's let downs as well as uplifting moments inspired her writings. Terri's love of music and just being "up there" singing her heart out kept her going as a struggling musician/student/part-time picture framer for six years after graduating high school. The lack of success in the music business and financial instability was reason enough to go back to school and focus on a new career. So, in 1992, Terri graduated from Nicholls State University with a degree in Cardiopulmonary Science and has been working as a Respiratory Therapist since. Almost twenty years after she gave up the music scene, Terri and her husband, Mark joined a classic rock band called CRUSH and continues to play music on her weekends off. An old friend and fellow musician, Pershing Wells (Digital Sak-A-Lait Productions), encouraged Terri to record her songs professionally. It's something she always wanted to do, but never thought of taking it to that level! After Pershing produced/arranged/recorded her first song "One More Time", it was like a domino effect......song number two "This Part of Me" was recorded, then the third song "Until the End".........A few more songs to record and Terri's official CD will be released!!
