With Afro Series, Terriannounces Self On The Global Stage
DESPITE the prevailing circumstances around his initial career path, fast rising Afrobeat singer and songwriter, Akewe Terry Daniel popularly known as Terri, signing to Wizkid led Starboy Entertainment was poised to accelerate his musical journey. To him, the development will cause a huge shadow of expectation on his career, especially with his input in the club banger, Soco.
The song wasn’t just a groundbreaker amongst mid- 2010s Afrobeats records; it was also Terri’s introduction as the first Wizkidsigned artiste, having been discovered by Starboy head honcho longtime producer, Mutay, after seeing him cover the song Oshe on social media.
Prior to his life- changing meeting with Wizkid, Terri was on his way to fame, as he had a seven- track EP ready for release, as well as a viral song titled Voices. Also, he was regarded as superstar in his neighbourhood, as he had great influence and performed at street carnivals even at age 15. He was one time carried all the way home by neighbours and fans after winning a CocaCola sponsored singing competition.
With his latest Extended Play ( EP), entitled Afro Series, it is clear that Terri has stepped out of the shadows into his own spotlight. In the well put together bodyof- work, the fast rising star serenades fans with the most electrifying Afrobeat sounds.
With his unique vibe, Terri finds a way to connect around the beautiful Afrobeat sound, especially on the track Wake Up, where he spoke about life and hustle in general; where he started from and where he's at now.
In Chest, Terri blends Afropop, Afrobeat, Afro- dancehall into Afro- fusion to show his strong and barely controllable emotion and affection towards his lady. A brilliant masterpiece, the track is a soothing jam to vibe to.
With Ojoro, Terri tries to speak about his childhood, how he’s been brought up and how he accomplished what he wanted. He also made mention of how he hates to be cheated at any cost.
A dope tune, the track relates to our daily lives as Africans if as we pay close attention to the song. It was brilliantly produced by STG.
