As the clock continues to tick down on a strange but musically productive year, the producers who placed a lasting impression on critical projects in 2016 def deserve year-end props. Terrace Martin, one such artist/producer, garners such recognition, with undeniably dope contributions, releasing his 2017 “Best R&B Album” Grammy-nominated solo project ‘Velvet Portraits’ as well as producing for several artists like Rapsody, Schoolboy Q, YG, Herbie Hancock and Kamasi Washington to name a few. Already a two-time Grammy winner for his work on Kendrick Lamar’s brilliant ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’, it’s probably safe to assume 2017 will be just as hectic. Starting his career, working for Diddy in high school, set Terrace on his accolade-filled musical path.
Earlier in 2016, I chatted with Terrace at a press conference at Durham’s Art of Cool Fest which also provided a rare opportunity to see him live. Taking time out of his busy schedule, I got a chance to ask about his experience working with Busta Rhymes, Stevie Wonder and Snoop, a description of his production process and his Grammy-winning experience with Kendrick. Listen to the soundclips BELOW and go cop his latest solo project HERE!
