MOODY, SHIMMERING ALT-POP
TERAMI IS AN INDEPENDENT SINGER-SONGWRITER AND COMPOSER BASED IN LOS ANGELES
Combining vulnerability with obsessive detail, Terami composes richly woven soundscapes with evocative storytelling.
Her first album All Girl Band was released in 1999 and launched her into an unflinching and confidential lyrical exploration. Following her debut, To the Bone (2002), Entropy 29 (2005), and A Broke Machine (2008) increasingly expanded on her experimental alternative pop sound by blending electronics, poetic lyricism, piano-based melodies and personal vocals. The result is what the LA Music Scene declared, “...the progressive 'girl with a piano' that shouldn't be overlooked.”

“A Broke Machine is a masterpiece...a perfect album from a fresh and intriguing musical talent. A work of art if there ever was one. ”

“One night her music struck a chord and put me on the verge of tears. ... To infuse me with that kind of emotion deserves mentioning. I don't know what else qualifies.” - Michael Villegas
