WaydeTerrell (born August 7, 1975) an American singer/songwriter with aspirations of achieving success with a compelling blend of R&B and soul music.

​

Raised in Pine Bluff, Ar. I was inspired by my family to strive for good health and happiness within.  My mother, Mae Ola Jackson was a lead voice in the church choir, and my father, Andy Jackson Jr. was a member of a gospel quartet that traveled across nearby cities spreading the joyous word of the God.  With five siblings, The Jackson's (of Pine Bluff, Ar.) were all musically influenced.  Some more than others, but certainly was a daily bond we all enjoyed.  Noticing a slight God given talent by some, I was encouraged to take my gift a bit more seriously at a young age.  I was entered into plays, and the city choir, where I learned how to identify my instrument.  With weeks of training and rehearsals, directed by a young talented gentleman slightly older than myself, I started to understand my gift.  That gentleman was none other  than The Smokie Norful, (47th Grammy Award winner for his 2004 release "Nothing Without You" Contemporary Soul Gospel Album) himself.  I was completely inspired by Norful's soulful voice and his ability to play the piano so flawlessly.  The experience left an impression on me that would never subsist.

​

Entering into my teens, My life took a drastic turn when my parents divorced.  I, along with my mother of course, and three of my siblings moved to the fast and tough lifestyle of southern (South Central, Watts) California.  The move was not easy, but I found comfort, within my additional family, sports, and writing. It's a passion that I developed trying to keep myself occupied at all times, in order to avoid the gravity of the menacing streets of L.A.  With this fire manifesting within, I continued my new journey.  My family were railroad workers and of course I thought I would be as well someday.  With my sister (one of my heroes) becoming an Engineer, I thought I would follow in her footsteps after high school, but my purpose in life was different.  Admiring her hard work, her desire to be great, her intelligence to strive, is what drives me to be the best that I can be.  Although not a Railroad Engineer like my hero, now I too, carry my hard-hat and lunch pail everyday and be the best Audio Engineer that I can be.
