Terrence Hamilton Introduces New Song: "More Than Friends"

Online, March 30, 2011 (Newswire.com) - A song, co-written by recording artist Terrence Hamilton for his debut
album, My Journey. The song features a free style hip-hop rap flow by
producer, writer, and artist Troy Davis. Hamilton describes the song
as a "classic case of a friend that falls in love with another, but is
reluctant to express the feelings for fear of rejection and
jeopardizing the entire friendship. After "More Than Friends" was
recorded Davis and Hamilton took a listen, and thought it would
definitely be a song that many could relate to and understand.

Songwriter, arranger and vocalist Terrence Hamilton was born and
raised in Dallas, TX. Hamilton was a child prodigy who grew up
singing and playing instruments at the tender age of five. By age
twelve, he had already appeared in two television commercials.
Hamilton left Texas after graduating high school to pursue formal
music studies in New Jersey where he was classically trained, and it
was there he first found a larger audience.

He sang and toured with multiple chorus groups including the gospel
quartet One Spirit, under the direction of Ann Moss, aunt of Whitney
Houston. After completing college, he moved to Philadelphia, where he
continued to write songs, perform and build a loyal following. As an
in-demand session musician, he met Troy Davis in 2008 where they
collaborated on various music projects for various artists. His new
album My Journey is scheduled for release in 2011.

Terrence believes that "music is what feelings sound like" and that
"as an artist it is my responsibility to create those feelings and
deliver them in a performance wholeheartedly and honestly. Hamilton
has been noted to say that some of the biggest influences are among
the likes of Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder,
Babyface, and Peabo Bryson.

Having been born into a musically inclined family, Hamilton recalls
that there was never a moment where music was not part of daily life
growing up in Texas. "Whether leading songs for Sunday church service,
rehearsing on Monday nights, playing lead roles in various school
musical productions, or competing in high school state competitions,
"it (music) was a critical element in my development as a person."
Hamilton credits his parents for providing a supportive atmosphere to
nurture his gift, and has stated that music has always been his first
true love.
