R&B singer/rapper Terryl Lee just released his debut LP His Story moments ago digitally on the net. The singer born in Harlem, NY delivered a solid package of 14 tracks all infused with R&B, Hip-Hop, Soul with a touch of an old school vibe. With songs like “Old School Feeling,” ”One More Time,” “Two People,” “Lost One” and the album’s hot lead track “So In Love (ft. C-Money)” finds Terryl in a vulnerable place musically on this album. Baring everything from his loss of love, being in love with two people, too wanting to find the love of his life. His vocals really shines on the A-cappella track ”Will You Still Love Me,” which is one of our favorite tracks for just simply being about the vocals. This emotional journey is worth every listen. His smooth vocals, his rapping hooks and personal lyrics all set out to tell his story and job well done, he did just that. The music is really good and so personal you feel like you know him and you can definitely relate to him. His Story is a hit and we can’t wait for you to listen to it! - TheMintTeaBlog

Bio
Born and raised in Harlem, New York City, Terryl Lee Elder, Jr. was destined to be a star. Being the son of a former band leader it seemed as if he was born in the world of music.
At the young age of six, Terryl Lee began to perform in talent shows as a member of a dance group, alongside his older sister, and younger cousin which they called, “New Faces.” Aside from dancing, Terryl wrote songs which he shared with his mother. While listening to his music she was amazed by the maturity in her young son’s lyrics. Afraid that his singing voice was not good enough to be heard, he limited his talent to just singing around the house. He realized he had a “voice” when a family member saw a home video and asked him if he would sing in her neighborhood’s annual talent show.
It wasn't until the age of 14 that Terryl began to share his singing voice with the public. He performed in many talent showcases, sang at weddings, funerals, memorial services, retirement parties, and night clubs. He continued to write about life experiences as he grew into young man. Influenced by singer/songwriters such as Lauryn Hill, John Legend, Erykah Badu, Neyo, and the late Bob Marley, Terryl found comfort in using writing as his outlet to life and letting it become the strength of his music. He had written lots of songs but realized it was not easy to find a producer who could create the sound he was looking for. He needed a different approach so he made the decision to learn an instrument. He needed to understand what he wanted to create before he could ask someone else to. That instrument became his acoustic guitar. With guitar in hand, Terryl now had an outline to the story he told.
In 2006, Terryl Lee was on a mission to turn his solo shows into a full band ensemble. He put an ad on craigslist looking for musicians to help turn his acoustic songs into, hot Hip Hop/R&B masterpieces. From that ad, The Terryl Lee Band was formed.
The Terryl Lee Band began performing in the summer of 2007 and quickly developed not only into a versatile unit capable of making Terryl's musical ideas come to life, but a family of brothers who laugh, joke, and create memories on and off-stage.
Terryl Lee, occasionally referred to as Mr. Lee, has established himself as being a solo artist as well as the front man of a band. He is comfortable with both, as he feels versatility is necessary when entertaining.
After years of challanges, and essential life lessons, Terryl Lee is now ready to tell "His Story."
