Terra Renae is a soul-pop sensation hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, whose magnetic voice and heartfelt lyrics are captivating audiences worldwide. With a sound that blends soulful melodies and modern pop, Terra’s music is as authentic as her story. Initially pursuing modeling and earning a doctoral degree, she nearly left music behind until a serendipitous 2022 encounter with GRAMMY-winning artist Macy Gray in Los Angeles changed everything. Under Gray’s mentorship, Terra released her critically acclaimed debut album, All I Have, in March 2025, featuring hits like “Manifest It” and “Ignite Me,” which have amassed over 300,000 streams and landed on playlists like “New Music Friday” and “Women of Pop.”

Terra’s journey is one of resilience and rediscovery. Raised by her Filipino mother after losing her father at age seven, she found solace in church choirs before life took her on a detour through academia and modeling. The pandemic reignited her passion for music, leading her to write and record at home alongside her husband and collaborator, Arla. With Macy Gray as executive producer and a powerhouse production team including Mikal Blue (Colbie Caillat, OneRepublic) and Dave Pensado (Beyoncé, Mariah Carey), Terra’s music resonates with raw emotion and empowerment. Named one of Music Connection Magazine’s “Hot 100 Unsigned Artists of 2024,” she’s currently electrifying audiences as direct support on Macy Gray’s 25th Anniversary European Tour. Join us as we dive into Terra Renae’s inspiring story, creative process, and what’s next for this rising star!
