Artist Spotlight

Few artists embody the fusion of jazz, hip-hop, and R&B as seamlessly as Terrace Martin. A five-time GRAMMY-nominated artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist from LA’s Crenshaw District, Terrace has cemented himself as a visionary in contemporary music. His ability to move between genres has led to collaborations with icons like Kendrick Lamar, Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg, Herbie Hancock, and Leon Bridges. From shaping the sound of To Pimp a Butterfly to co-founding the supergroup Dinner Party with Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, and 9th Wonder, Terrace continues to push sonic boundaries.


His latest release, Albion Files, is a deep dive into his extensive archive, refining and expanding on his signature sound. The project is a gift to true lovers of music—crafted with heart, soul, and a vision for the future. "Not Sharing," featuring Ogi, encapsulates Terrace’s ethos: blending jazz, R&B, and hip-hop into something timeless.


As a musician, producer, and label head of Sounds of Crenshaw, Terrace is building a legacy akin to Quincy Jones and Dr. Dre, redefining what it means to be an artist today.
