MY NAME IS TERRANCE SCOTT. I AM 26 YEARS OLD. I AM MARRIED WITH ONE BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER. MY STORY IS SIMPLE....... I GOT INTO MUSIC, OR RATHER, I'VE BEEN INTO MUSIC SINICE I WAS BORN. MY UNCLE WAS A DJ, MY OTHER UNCLE WAS A MC( I OWE IT TO HIM FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THE RAPPING). I GREW UP LISTENING TO EVERYTHING FROM HALL AND OATS TO GEORGE CLINTON.SO MY MUSIC EXPOSURE RANGES VERY FAR. I GUESS YOU CAN SAY IT'S IN MY BLOOD. I STARTED RAPPING AFTER A SUMMER THAT CHANGED MY LIFE. SEE, I WAS BORN IN PAMONA, CA. BUT I WAS RAISED IN KANSAS CITY, MO. BUT ONE SUMMER IN 1993 MY MOM TOOK US TO CALI. 1993, BIGGIE’S READY TO DIE AND OUTKAST'S PLAYAS BALL WAS THE BIGGEST THING OUT FOR ME. MY FIRST FREESTYLE WAS TO THAT INSTRUMENTAL TAPE. MY OTHER UNCLE SAT US DOWN AND TOLD US WE WASN'T GETTING UP UNTILL WE RAPPED SEEMS PRETTY HARSH BUT IT SOWED A SEED........... SO AT THE AGE OF TEN I ENTERED THE RAP GAME AS A POTENTIAL WHATEVER I COULD BE. MY BROTHER BROUGHT A FIVE-TRACK RECORDING KEYBOARD(YAMAHA). THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER TRIED TO PUT A BEAT TOGETHER. I SUCKED, BUT I DIDN'T GIVE UP. ONE THING WAS CERTAIN, MY MUSIC WAS DIFFERENT, LIKE ME: I AM VERY DIFFERENT. I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE TO THANK FOR THAT: JESUS FIRST AND FOREMOST(I DIDN'T KNOW THIS AT THE TIME, I WASN'T SAVED UNTILL YEARS LATER) BUT MY MUSICAL UNIQUENESS COMES FROM EVERYWHERE. I CAN HEAR MUSIC IN ANYTHING. AND IT HAS PAID OFF..... PEOPLE SAY YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, AND IT IS TRUE FOR EVERYTHING IN LIFE: WHAT YOU FEED ON DEFINES YOU. FOR ME,IT WAS A WIDE RANGE FROM SYSTEM OF A DOWN AND NIRVANA TO TIMBALAND AND MISSY,AND MY INFLUENCES SHOW DEEPLY IN MY MUSIC I THINK MY MUSIC HIT A WALL AND SHIFTED WHEN I GOT SAVED AND SERIOUS ABOUT GOD. AT WHAT WAS THE PEAK OF A POTENTIALLY GREAT SECULAR CAREER, I WALKED AWAY FROM A RECORD DEAL WITH A RECENTLY RELEASED RECORD AND WENT GOSPEL. A FEW YEARS AFTER THAT ENCOUNTER GOD GAVE ME A NAME FOR MY PRODUCTIVITY: SLEEPWALKERS. I PLAYED WITH THE NAME FOR A WHILE, THEN IT ACTUALLY BECAME AN ESTABLISHED NAME. SLEEPWALKERS IS A PRODUCTION LABEL COMPRISED OF LATTER-DAY MISTRELS WHO PLAY UNDER THE ANOINTING OF GOD. MY GOALS ARE SIMPLE: TO RELEASE WHATEVER GOD GIVES, HOWEVER GOD GIVE IT TO ME TO RELEASE IT. I DO HAVE PROJECTS I AM WORKING ON, BUT I AM JUST AS EQUALLY PASSIONATE, IF NOT MORE PASSIONATE, ABOUT MY LIFE BEING LIVED IN A MANNER THAT MAKES MY MUSIC MINISTRY AND THUS EFFECTIVE. I AM NOT IN THIS TO BE STARSTRUCK, I AM IN THIS TO BE OBEDIANT. I HAVE TRIED MY HAND AT MANY THINGS TO FURTHER SHARPEN MY ARTISTIC CRAFT, THOUGH I WOULDN'T CLAIM TO BE EXPERT IN MOST OF THEM. RIGHT NOW I AM MILDLY FLUENT IN PLAYING GUITAR( ACOUSTIC AND SOME LEAD) AND BASS, BUT I'M MORE ADVANCED IN KEYBOARD. OTHER FACETS INCLUDE DRAWING, SOME LIGHT SINGING( AND LIGHT HARMONIZING), POETRY AND SOME DANCING. BUT LIKE I SAID, MY STORY IS SIMPLE NOTHING YOU HAVEN'T HEARD A THOUSAND TIMES I'M JUST ME............
