Who’s Terri J. Stott? How you got started in the music scene?

I was a shy person growing up. I had all kinds of friends and I was always the one who my friends came to talk to…and I loved music! Music was the outlet that allowed me to express myself. I sang in chorus in school, I even lettered in it. I loved wearing that jacket (lol)! I’ve got great memories of listening to my parents play the hottest soul jams back in the day. I would listen to the radio and always loved all kinds of music. I love the feeling and the expression in it.... - Vents Magazine

"Who is Terri J. Stott?"

Who is Terri J. Stott? She is an award-winning songwriter and her songwriting company is Stott Girl. She is a very gifted soon to be heard about songwriter! The song "Yearning and Hoping" is classically written and I believe it fits well with some of today's pop-princesses" such as Christina Aguilera. The song "Lonely" has a great track behind it and again the lyrical structure is refreshing. I really dig this song...The song "I'll Come Running" really delivers the passion of a love relationship.

There are so many songs in the market but few can only wish they had the true structure of song expression. W.IN.E is about recognizing true talent that can be heard within a few bars of a song. I really look forward to hearing more from this very talented songwriter. - W.IN.E.-Women in Entertainment

"DECEMBER 2009 SONICBIDS “ARTISTS 2 WATCH”"

DECEMBER 2009 SONICBIDS “ARTISTS 2 WATCH”
November 30, 2009 | by Skope Staff

Welcome to another amazing month of music from the incredible musicians that make up the Sonicbids.com community. We have got ten amazing musicians that will be speaking directly to the Skope readers. As always we encourage readers to dig deeper and check out their EPK’s.



Terri J. Stott
www.sonicbids.com/TerriJStott

Skope: How does it feel to be chosen as an A2W artist on Skopemag.com?
Terri J. Stott: It’s fantastic! It’s really an honor and a privilege to be selected by Skopemag.com. This magazine knows music and to be selected out of the many artists and musicians that submit means a great deal. My thanks go out to the Skopemag.com team.

Skope: What have you been working on and promoting recently?
Terri J. Stott: I am promoting my music on various social networking sites. I have finally decided to release my own music. I have been told to do that by various folks many times and I feel ready now. Because I was a songwriter/producer, I had always focused on sending my songs to other artists or getting placements but the Do It Yourself (DIY) approach really appeals to where I am right now. It’s exciting! I am writing a lot right now as well. I am also proud of allowing the use of some of my songs on some compilation charity CD’s where the proceeds from the sales go to support various charities. I am also excited about my international collaboration with an artist out of Norway which resulted in a remix of one of my songs.

Skope: What about your music do you feel sets it apart?
Terri J. Stott: I would say I write songs that can appeal to everyone. They are songs that grab you emotionally but yet have a commercial twist that grabs the listener. Between the lyrics and the music, and picking the right vocalist, my songs hopefully take you on a journey. I am inspired by my own life experiences and those of others so I get inspiration from anywhere. I put my heart and soul into those lyrics, melodies and music. You’ll hear songs that range from Pop, R&B and Soul. From the acoustic to heavy tracks…it truly depends on the song. I always say the members of my music team include a pen, deep thoughts and paper.

Skope: How did you start creating music and what are your long term plans with your band?
Terri J. Stott: I am a songwriter/producer and not a performer. I had always loved music and have been a singer in the past. Life took over for a little while and then for some reason, one day, I felt compelled to write down a tune I had in my head. I then had to put it to music and looked for a studio. My career just went from there. I was back to creating music again but this time I was behind the scenes. I loved it because I was able to tell stories about different experiences. I was fortunate to win songwriting awards early in my career and then many times after that. I also was fortunate to get press which can be hard to do when you don’t perform. My long term plan is to be financially independent through my music whether it be DIY or song and licensing placements. I want to not only have sales nationally but internationally as well. I would also like to win a Grammy. :)

Skope: When you are creating music what do you use as inspiration for lyrics & instrumentals?
Terri J. Stott: I am moved to write by emotional journeys through life. I like to tell stories about these journeys. I believe each part of the song; the lyrics, the vocals, the music, the melody, all help create that story. When I am writing I can almost visualize the song along with hearing it. Usually the lyrics and melody come at the same time. I love how you are able to put all those elements together to make this auditory art.

Skope: What is the most exciting aspect of being a musician in the digital age?
Terri J. Stott: As I was saying before, I feel the DIY approach fits for where I am now. The digital age allows the musician to take their music directly to the consumer. You are able to build that relationship with the music lover without sacrificing your artistic point of view. I am always open to other opportunities outside of just the DIY such as song and licensing placements, but it’s a great day that an artist and musician does not have to wait for someone else to do it for them.

Skope: What can we look forward to that our readers should know about?
Terri J. Stott: Please let your readers know about my upcoming CD. I am so excited to bring my artistic point of view to them. I will keep you posted but they can also get updates on my EPK and on www.myspace.com/terrijsmusic!

Featured Full Page Article in the Journal Newspaper-King George Addition 6-30-04 Leonard M. Banks

"...Stott took the next up the musical ladder of success by winning the International Song of the Year Contest as a Finalist in the Hip Hop/R&B category. Before a panel of distinguished judges from every corner of the music industry, Terri distanced herself from competition from around the world with the song "Yearning and Hoping".

While Stott maintains her love for all forms of music, she is drawn towards music that delivers the pain and passion from relationships that border on strife and unbridled joy..." - Journal Newspaper
