Terry Gomes completed a music degree at the University of Ottawa, studying classical guitar and composition. He taught guitar for many years, played in several bands, and performed in a flute/classical guitar duo. Later on, he released three self-penned albums in singer-songwriter/pop/folk-rock genres.
In 2013, his album SHH marked a shift into guitar-based instrumental music. His following releases, THE SAND IN MY SHOES, BLUE. GREEN. AQUAMARINE., and THE TROPICAL DREAM, found him moving much closer to home. “Growing up in a Guyanese family, I was exposed to a lot of music from the Caribbean, South America and Latin America.”Since these projects he has released several singles; the infectious, “RUMJARO 360”, “ELEGY” (solo piano) and “STEEN’S REVERIE” (jazz) which received a lot of airplay on JazzFM91. His last outing in September of 2023 was an animated work featuring an unusual rock/western soundtrack called, “DARK RIDERS.”
