As 2024 comes to a close, we sat down with Terrell Fure to reflect on his growth as an artist, the challenges he faced, and what his fans can expect in the upcoming year. Known for his infectious energy and undeniable talent, Terrell Fure has made a significant impact this year. Let’s dive into his journey.
Q1: 2024 has been dope for the most part. What have been some key highlights and milestones for you this year?
Terrell Fure: “I dropped some classic bangers like ‘She’s Not The Money Type,’ ‘A Good Day,’ and ‘Be My Shorty.’ I performed a lot, connected with the fans, and gained some new fans in the process. A highlight and milestone for me this year was my performance at the 2024 Caribbean Cultural Festival in Georgia and being named one of the Next-Gen Icons in Rolling Hype Magazine. Such an honor! 🔥🔥🔥”
Q2: What would you say has been your biggest personal or creative growth in 2024?
Terrell Fure: “I’d say accepting and embracing the fact that I’m on a journey and it’s okay to make mistakes as long as I learn from them. I learned to have more patience when releasing a song. Every ‘T’ has to be crossed and every ‘I’ has to be dotted. If not, I’d have to live with the regret of releasing a half-ass song, which would also be bad for my brand. Every move and decision I make is thought through thoroughly and calculated because I understand that I’m a brand now.”
Q3: What are some challenges you’ve faced this year, both creatively and professionally? How did you overcome them?
Terrell Fure: “Some challenges I’ve faced have been dealing with scammers 🤬🤬🤬 and deciding what to release first since all my songs are hits 😂🤣😎👑 I overcame the scammers by understanding that it’s part of the game – you just learn from it. As for deciding what to release first, that’s always going to be a fight within 🤣🤣 but I’ll get it someday. Hopefully 😉🤣”
Q4: How have you experimented with new sounds or concepts in your recent releases?
Terrell Fure: “Innovation? 🤣🤣 You can’t innovate if your original creation wasn’t appealing. The original source, from what you’re innovating from, was trash 🗑️🤷🏾♂️ What would you be innovating? 🤷🏾♂️ In my latest releases, I just went with growth. As long as I follow growth, continue to listen to the inner me and the ancestors, I’ll be great!”
Q5: What inspired the themes or messages in your music this year?
Terrell Fure: “The song ‘She’s Not The Money Type’ came from seeing couples in the hood and on public transportation who were broke but happy. I questioned why, and I found out that happiness is not about how much money you have, but how much you love yourself and the little things in life that we tend to overlook, which are the most important things. ‘A Good Day’ was written with the mindset of being in NYC, waking up on a beautiful Saturday, and experiencing the events that occur during the spring season 🌼🌱 Those events are still going on today. ‘Be My Shorty’ is more of a preference-type song, directed at a certain audience and demographic, but it’s welcomed by anyone because we all have our ideal look or looks.”
Q6: How did you approach your artistry this year?
Terrell Fure: “This year, I was focused on myself more. I believe if your product is great, you don’t need to worry about collaborations or partnerships. I stand out, and that’s all that matters 😉😎👑”
Q7: What challenges have you encountered when it comes to business and the industry?
Terrell Fure: “I’ve recognized people who don’t know how to handle business. They’re great at what they do, but they don’t know anything about handling business. Stay focused on the grind, no matter what life throws at you. People love consistency, but if your product is actually great – which is rare – you’ll stand out.”
Q8: How have your fans responded to your music, and how has their feedback influenced your direction?
Terrell Fure: “They’ve responded great! I don’t worry about the response of the fans because I know the fans trust me to give them great music. My direction will always be to follow the inner voice in me, and that’s why the fans love me in the first place.”
Q9: The music industry has seen many shifts this year. How have you adapted to these changes?
Terrell Fure: “I don’t pay attention to things like that because I never had to adapt to anything. It always had to adapt to me. I’m gifted. 🤲🏽”
Q10: What can your fans expect from you in 2025?
Terrell Fure: “They can expect more hits. I think by now they trust me to make that happen. My goals are to just keep going, get better as an artist, keep giving people the ‘Wow’ factor, and continue building great relationships. Then everything will continue to fall into place. Ase’”
Looking ahead, Terrell Fure has set the stage for an even bigger 2025, armed with an unwavering sense of self and a commitment to delivering his best work. Fans can expect more bangers, surprises, and genuine growth from the artist who is making a name for himself as one of the industry’s future stars.
