Bio

A native Washingtonian talent renowned for his God-given musicianship, from an early age Terrence Richburg has amazed audiences with his adaptable, authenticated style and "smooth" delivery. Richburg is an accomplished recording artist who comes with a wealth of knowledge of all musical styles and genres as well as the music industry. He has performed throughout the country and is characterized by his peers as "The Quincy Jones of Gospel," "a musician's musician," and "a producer's producer." Terrence chronicles a vast musical history in the Gospel, Jazz, and Gospel-Jazz communities, having worked with such notables as Richard Smallwood & Vision, Maurette Brown Clark, Vanessa R. Williams, Marcus Johnson, Alyson Williams, Cee Cee Michaela, Yolanda Adams, Kim Jordan, Jeremiah Murphy, Aretha Franklin, The Winans, Jennifer Holliday, Tramaine Hawkins, Walter Hawkins, Isaiah Thomas, James Cleveland, Shirley Caesar, Ben Tankard, Bobby Lyle, Nick Colionne, and many others.

Son of John & Wilhelmina Richburg, known as Atlantic recording artists The Richburg Singers, and nephew of jazz legend Ronnie Wells, Richburg is a prolific composer, lyricist, writer, poet, vocalist, arranger, orchestrator, producer, director, pianist, keyboardist, electric and acoustic guitarist, percussionist, 4/5/6/7-string bassist, recording engineer and the list goes on. Terrence has written, produced and performed musical soundtracks for several videos, theme songs and music beds for radio stations and jingles for major corporations, including D.C.s WYCB and Heaven 1580, as well as Marriott. He's also been called on as a Musician/MD for theater and musical productions including "Lord I'm Coming Home," "Dream Girls," "The Wiz," "Ain't Misbehavin!" "Wait Til the Fat Lady Sings," "God's Trombones," "City at Peace," "Where Eagles Fly, " along with other events such as the Washington Performing Arts, music award shows, AIDS and Cancer fundraisers, benefits for Katrina and Tsunami victims, and many other prestigious events. He has enjoyed much success with his Gospel Jazz group, R&R, with the release of their debut CD, Ascension, featuring Howard Riley, Jr. on saxophone and Terrence on 7-String bass, vocals, and several other instruments. In 2007, R&R opened for GRAMMY Award winner CeCe Winans. However, Richburg's newest group, Terrence Richburg & The Experience, has generated wide acclaim during their live performances, featuring Terrence in his element on bass, guitar, keyboards, and vocals, sometimes with an amazing one-man duet on bass and keys simultaneously. He recently dropped a Christmas single entitled In One Night featuring his wife, renowned songstress Kathy Richburg, and has blazed the stage with such incredible jazz greats as Gerald Albright, Steve Cole, and The Marcus Mitchell Project. Terrences 7-string bass talents are featured on recent CD releases by Robert Person Soul Sanctuary (2011), and Kim Jordan Uncommon (2012). Richburg was also honored by The DC Area Musicians Fellowship and presented the very first annual 2013 Treble Cleft Award for his extensive achievements in Gospel music and church music ministry.

In the world of literature, Terrence is a gifted poet and freelance writer having written reviews as well as articles for the Dr. Bobby Jones online magazine and for his own online E-zine publication, JazzGospelCentral.com. Richburgs new book release, Intimacy: Missing "Peace" in the Puzzle of True Love & Close Relationships, marks his official debut as an author.

Even with his label RichEscape Music securing a 2009 Stellar Award Nomination, and his many other accomplishments, he proclaims accepting Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior his most significant life accomplishment.
