He is an indigene of Edo State but was born and raised in Lagos, particularly Ifako-Ijaye. Terri is the first of four children born on May 27, 1999. Terri obtained his nursery, primary, and secondary school education in the Ifako-Ijaiye area of Lagos State.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After he completed his secondary school education, Terri proceeded to the University of Lagos to study Marine Insurance. However, it was during that time that Terri decided to pursue a career in music. So, he dropped out of UNILAG just weeks after he had started his undergraduate program. Terri has, in recent interviews, mentioned his plans of still going back to school soon to obtain a degree in a business-related course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>Age of Terri\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terri was born on May 27, 1999. Therefore, he will be 24 years old on May 27, 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>Terri&#8217;s Music Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a teenager, Terri enjoyed singing amongst his peers in school. This he did mainly to gain attention from the girls. The more he sang for attention, he noticed that some people began taking his singing seriously. So, he started saving up his pocket money for recording sessions. By 13 years, Terri had started recording music, going by the stage name Stoned Teezy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an amateur singer, Terri released several singles such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where the Party at?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which featured Fresh and Remy Martin. He even released a 5-track extended playlist titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outchea. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later on, he began making covers of popular Afrobeats hits and shared them on social media platforms. And little by little, he started getting noticed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the age of 17 years, Terri decided to pursue a career in music wholeheartedly. To focus on music squarely he dropped out from the University of Lagos in 2017. Without the distraction of his academics, Terri did more and more covers of popular hits. One such cover he did was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oshe, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a song by Wizkid and DJ Jimmy Jatt, which he shared on his social media pages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cover of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oshe <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which Terri shared on social media in December 2017 gained traction online. The viral nature of Terri&#8217;s rendition of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oshe <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">caught the attention of Wizkid in January 2018. Pleased with the talent of Terri, Wizkid sent Mut4y, the Head of Music of Starboy Entertainment, to meet with Terri. By the first week of February 2018, Terri was offered a record deal with Wizkid&#8217;s Starboy Entertainment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After just two weeks of being signed to Starboy Entertainment, Wizkid teamed up with Terri, Spotless, and Ceeza Milli on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soco. Soco <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was released on February 21, 2018, and it became an instant hit song across the country and beyond.

Later on, in 2018, Terri dropped <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shuu. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the song became a hit. In 2019, Terri&#8217;s dedication did not wane and he went on to several songs such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Me, Same You, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn on Me. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also featured King Perry and Soft in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jojo, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a song that performed extremely well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2020, he released <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ojoro, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a single that went on to top music charts and gain widespread popularity across the country. Later that same year, Terri dropped his first body of work through the record label titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Afro Series.
