NATHANIEL TERRELL

Writing poetry, songs and telling stories is a God given talent that I used to dabble in and then let lie dormant for years. I became serious about my craft around 2008/2009. At first, I just felt an overwhelming urge to express myself creatively, and then it became a form of therapy. Fast forward sixteen years later, and now I can’t imagine life without my craft. 

My writing influences are(in no particular order) Gil Scott Heron, King David, Edgar Allen Poe, Tupac Shakur, and Jim Morrison. I can relate to each in different ways and at various points in my life, but the main connector is that they were all poets and storytellers, just like me.

I not only write for myself but also to reach people around the world.. It is a wonderful feeling to connect with fellow creatives, lovers of literature/art, and fans through my craft. A big part of my purpose and a lot of my work is written/spoken to encourage, warn, and raise frequencies.. Through poems, anthems, stories, and songs, I am able to offer up thanks and praise to God, speak of my faith, life experiences, and give honest depictions of unpleasant scenes of life, personal failures, loss, and resilience.

My goals are to continue to excel at my craft and gain success. Build an audience from my platforms to inspire, share my testimony, and also connect with creatives that have their own stories to tell. Finally use the talents God has given me to help and support the next generation coming behind me. To leave a positive mark in this world, giving back in full all that was given to me.
