Terrell Morris

Terrell Morris channels introspection to make his music. The 29-year-old Toronto-native is a self-taught songwriter, poet, singer and bass player who believes versatility of craft allows him to sharpen his skills, much like his favourite artists Raphael Saadiq, Erykah Badu and Jay-Z . With his first project, Molasses, Morris combined jazz and R&B to craft his sound, but his latest album, Lavender, set to drop in summer 2020, was one that he looked to soul for guidance. Lavender is an amalgamation of contributions from local talent—inclusive of R&B singer Adria Kain and famed Canadian Idol contestant Gary Beals—and from those abroad, like noted producer/songwriter Julia Lewis. Through Morris’ music, fans will be able to take a venture into his mind. He shares, “Most of my writing is inner dialogues, or starts that way at least. Sometimes it sounds like I’m having a conversation in my music, and it’s really a conversation in my head. Conversations with myself.”
