About Terry Hunter -
It’s one thing It hit the top. It's another thing to stay there. With over four decades of traveling the globe sharing his passion for house music, Terry Hunter's career is the stuff of legend. As a DJ, his name consistently headlines some of the most renowned festivals including Miami's Winter Music Conference, SuncéBeat, Groove Odyssey, 51st State and Amsterdam Dance Event. And as a producer, his discography constantly updates with the music industry's top artists including Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Jennifer Hudson, Jill Scott, John Legend, Mary J. Blige, Raheem Devaughn, Terisa Griffin, Estelle, Chantay Savage, Byron Stingily [of Chicago's Ten City], Syleena Johnson, Kanye West, Rhymefest, Barbara Tucker and as of recent Chaka Khan, Drama and Beyonce.
Born and raised in the city where it all began, even the start of his career includes the Chicago parties and nightclubs credited with creating the foundation for an entire genre. His first release in 1990 titled "Madness," became an underground hit and would prove to be a precursor to a plethora of successful releases and #1's on Traxsource & Beatport from his own label, T's Box Records, started in 2004. Becoming the first new member of Chicago's Chosen Few DJs in 2000, Terry went on to release the global dance classic, "Wonderful", featuring Chicago songstress Terisa Griffin, followed with a remix of Marshall Jefferson's house music anthem, “MOH Your Body" and a hit remix of Avery Sunshine's "Ugly Part Of Me "
Named "Producer of the Year" by 5 Magazine in 2009, Terry's work includes numerous collaborations such as 2011's "Mass Destruction" project with his friend and colleague, Kenny Dope, with whom he remixed Kanye West's "Addiction." In 2013, he released "We Are One: A Movement for Life." a contemporary 'message record' addressing the violence impacting Chicago communities, from which all proceeds were donated to local non-profit organizations working to reduce the issue. In 2014, Terry earned Terry his first Grammy nomination for Jennifer Hudson's "It's Your World" followed by a career highlight of producing two songs — "I Will Survive" and "You Keep Me Hangin' On" - for Aretha Franklin's "Arena Franklin Sings the Great Diva Songs" project.
Signed to Ultra Records in 2019, ferry's first full length album "Imagine No Music" is already making its mark. The first single "Angel" held a number one spot on Traxsource for over two weeks, and the second single "TSOC: The Sound of Chicago" featuring Common, Mike Dunn, Dean Cole, Chantay Savage, ColdHard of Crucial Conflict, AM7 and Jamie Principle captured the same position after only 4 days of being released. After 40 years, Terry Hunter relevancy is stronger than ever. Sky's the limit.
