Terry runs an Adelaide based independent label, Round Records.  He began his career in music at around 30 years of age.  Although a late starter, Terry  has been a member of various bands, July 14th, Those Kodiaks, The Every Brothers and The Barkers.  A self taught guitarist with a  passion for song writing, Terry  has won SAMIA song writing, production and performance awards, and was a finalist of the Australian Aria awards for producer of Best World Music Album. 

 Terry has been described as  a “lyricist with a knack for cutting deep into the heart of personal politics, of love and life, in a deliciously wry whimsical way”.  “The Land That We Love” ( Bradford/Wayman composition) so impressed Ian McNamara’s (ABC Radio’s Australia All Over) that he included it on  his 2004 compilation disc.  He has continued to receive acclaim for his song writing , receiving awards at 2008/2009 music festivals such as Barmera Country Music Festival, Murraylands , Top of the Gulf Music Festival and the  Frances Folk Gathering.

Terry had never considered himself a good singer, but since the debut of  the Texettes Duo (Helen Ellis and Terry in March 2005), he has been concentrating on improving his vocals and it is paying off.  He entered his first singing competition at the Frances Folk Gathering in March 2007 and since that time has continued to win awards for his vocals such as runner up in the 2008 SACCM’s Champion of Champion’s Talent Quest, as a duet with Helen and  the Texettes Band.

Terry says that “music is his church” and he will always be driven to write and record “noise”.  “Some days I think I will never write another song again, but before long, there’s another tune, another hook, another lyric” and he doesn’t stop worrying or fussing until he gets it finished.
