J.Michael Music

I am proud of the fact that I personally work with my clients before and during the event. Before a show I like to get a detailed picture on what kind of event is being held and why I am being hired. At this point I can fit whatever mold you need me to fit. Am I the primary attraction for the event? Am I to play a more background roll? Is there certain songs you need me to perform? (Usually pertaining to wedding ceremonies and or first dances etc.)

I am capable of playing 3-5 hours of music if required. During that time I usually talk to the audience and get a feel for the atmosphere. Is it a more upbeat dancelike mood or more relaxed? But all in all you are going to hear songs that put a smile on your face and performed in a way that will impress, and make whatever event I am playing at very enjoyable.

My name is J.Michael Terrell. Growing up I started out on Piano then moved to bass guitar, quickly picking up acoustic and electric guitars as well.

I did not pursue singing until 2018. If I was honest I was scared of being any kind of "front man". I took a leap and entered into a singing competition. I took 2nd place which gave me some confidence. I then decided to figure out where and how I could continue playing music locally. I started out at farmers markets and recieved a lot of good feedback. I met an individual who opened my world up to a lot more opportunities to play. I started playing at restaurants, parties, and any kind of special event you can think of.

Fast forward to 2022 I decided to take it up a notch. I bought a looperboard which allowed me to get a little more creative with my shows. I threw in a little beat box, I bought a bass pedal and started experimenting with sounds. This really allows me to be a "One man band". I can replicate drums, rhythm guitar, and bass guitar giving the listener every part of a song with essentially one guitar and my voice.

All in all I can say i've been a "full-time" professional musician for 2 years. I'm still fairly new at this and still figuring out where it is i'm trying to go. I completely 100% LOVE what I do everyday. So, If you require a musician who is willing to step up to the plate and be exactly who you need them to be, I am the right choice. You won't be disappointed.

I am extremely simple.

All I need is power within several feet of where you'd like me to play. I bring everything else that I need.
