Terry recorded numerous Ep's and pop singles during the decades his music was catching fire with his number one hit when I'm "With You" which, propelled his career into the stratosphere. "With You" became one of the most nationally requested wedding songs of all time and to this day, remains such; forcing Terry to take on the status of sensual-soulful balladeer and rendering him a young modern day icon.

His recording career has presented him with relationships with Epic/CBS Records, Sony Music Entertainment, and Virgin Records.

He has served as the national spokesperson for the National Fibromyalgia Association. Terry lends his voice to causes for which he is passionate about which includes families and health and wellness and has been a supporter of the 'All Lives Matter' movement which, gave birth to his single ' All Life Matters' single which he has reprised for the sign of the times.


In 2015, Tony Terry was saluted by the largest black caucus in the nation, the Georgia Black Legislative Caucus for his dedication and excellence in the field of entertainment. With his newly reprised compilation, Terry was tapped by the conveners' of the 107th convention of the NAACP and asked Terry to perform what is now being dubbed as a 'Social Anthem' and went on to say they "could not think of a better entertainer to celebrate their works."

Now, as a member of The Recording Academy, Terry has the privilege of participating in the GRAMMY Awards process. "The integrity of the process is of paramount importance to every artist everywhere" Terry says. "With that privilege also comes the responsibility to ensure that its integrity be protected, maintained, and untarnished in any way.  I plan to help ensure that the reputation of the GRAMMY Awards is enhanced by my actions as an Academy member."

Terry's ongoing support as a member will be key to helping continue the missions of The Recording Academy by Membership and Awards; Music Education and Archiving and Preservation; Philanthropy and Charity, and Advocacy. These missions directly affect and touch the lives of our members, the music community, and ultimately the public and therefore are vital and important to the very fabric of our culture.
