Stage Name:
Teh-Rebl (Came from his alias 'Terry')
Musical Background:
"It's the love of it", he said as he recalled
his musical beginnings in writing poems at age 10
and adopting the habit of writing poems and not finishing
them. His father owned a sound system on which he
and his brothers used to practice their musical skills.
He grew to love music and in his late 20's, Teh-Rebl
decided to take on a musical approach to his writing.
To what label are you currently
signed?: "Currently, I am not signed.
However, I am the co-owner of the Heavy
Artillery Records label."
Performances:
None to date.
Most embarrassing moment:
"A friend and I were at Starfish and went on
stage to perform a song that was written that same
day. However, when the rhythm started to play, we
totally forgot the words to the song!"
What do you write about
in your songs? "It's what I feel,
what I see, what I know, what I believe in. Although
I can write Dancehall lyrics, I stick to culture because
that's where the meditation is."
Collaborations:
"I haven't done any collaborations with any established
artiste yet, however, I have done a collaboration
with a fellow young artiste called Eloquence."
What are you working on
currently? : Teh-Rebl is still employed
and manages his time between work, recording and completing
his diploma in Business Administration. When asked
how it has been for him, he replied, "To me,
it's a challenge and I like challenges. That's what
helps you to move forward in life."
Plans for his musical career:
"The sky is the limit! (Laughs). I plan to do
music full time and use my music to make a difference
and send positive messages."
Advice for young artistes: "Stay focused
and write good, clean lyrics."
