Biography
Terry Newsome

This is the name of a ground-breaking, anointed, and dynamic man of God in the gospel music industry.  Terry's recent accolades include being selected out of over one thousand entries to compete in the TV series CATS (Christian Artist Talent Search) that is held by the INSP network in Charlotte, North Carolina.  The show was broadcasted on the Inspiration Network (INSP) reaching over 200 million viewers weekly from January 2006 to January 2007 on Saturday nights at 10:00pm. Terry was announced the Grand Prize Winner and awarded a National Recording Contract with Infinity Music Group.  Terry was also selected to appear at the Gospel Superfest held in Jamaica, New York which will appear on several cable networks nationally and internationally.  He was titled the Grand Champion at the Gospel Superfest New Artist showcase.  He was invited back to minister on the main stage of the Gospel Superfest televised event in October 2006.

Terry was chosen for music ministry in August of 1994.  Since that time he has grown to become a much anointed minister, songwriter and gospel recording artist.  His experiences have allowed him to grace platforms at major venues and open for such trailblazers as John P. Kee and the New Life Community Choir, Byron Cage, Ron Kenoly, Douglas Miller, Rance Allen, Out of Eden, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Karen Clark-Sheard, Beverly Crawford and be featured with such artists as Daryl Coley, Andrae Crouch, Kierra "KiKi" Sheard, Johnny Sanders, Tye Tribbett, JahWord, Lonnie Hunter, Clifton Davis, Canton Jones, Mario Tramaine, Erick Matthews, BIU, Cedric Ford, Shakina Glory and Angela Spivey.  He has toured extensively throughout the United States building a network and large fan base across the country.  He has had the opportunity to minister at such events as the Gospel Music Workshop of America Conferences, The Integrity Ministry and Arts Conferences, the Bobby Jones Show, the Victory in Praise Conferences (VIP) held by the Reverend John P. Kee where he was selected to be on John P Kee's New Artist Compilation CD, The Gospel Awards in Sarasota, Florida, the Urban Gospel Industry Awards (UGA) in Houston, TX, the Edwin & Walter Hawkins Music and Arts Love Fellowship Conference in Houston, TX, Truth Seekers Conference in Charleston, South Carolina, Live at the Apollo in Savannah, Georgia where he was the gospel artist overall winner, the 2005 Gospel Superfest in Jamaica, New York,  the Coastal College Fest held in Savannah, Georgia and appears every Sunday on the FOX network ministering in song.  These are only a few of the hundreds of events Terry has had the opportunity to minister.  Despite Terry's busy schedule, he continues to minister in his local community and surrounding communities. Terry's ultimate mission is to tell as many people about Christ as God will allow him to reach.  He constantly ministers at several charity functions such as the National Walk for Cancer, Save the Children Day in the Park, the Rape Crisis Center Fund Raiser and AWWIN, a non-profit organization designed to assist single working women.  He is called upon several times a month to minister at federal prisons nationally.  He teams up with the local YMCA and provides free back-to-school gospel concerts and other occasions all during the year for the youth. He is a member of the National Gospel Music Workshop of America. He is also a member and men's choir director of Mount Zion Baptist Church in Hinesville, Georgia where Dr. M.L. Jackson is the Pastor. 

Terry, born February 6, 1969, of Faison, North Carolina, is the youngest of six children born unto Claudie and the late Ammie Newsome.  With the spiritual covering, guidance and influence of his mother's ministry, and the godly nurturing of his father and older siblings, Terry's groomed his talents with a growing understanding of the importance of God's anointing in his life and singing and the need to always give reverence to the power of God. By witnessing a God-fearing, faith-believing example in his own parents, Terry unceasingly is thankful for them for graciously molding and shaping him into a spirit-lead music vessel capable of leading God's people into the presence of the Lord in praise and worship.  At the age of seventeen, he joined the United States Army serving proudly for seven years.  This service covers various assignments including time served in the Persian Gulf War.  His last tour of duty was with the 24th Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Georgia where he currently resides now with his family.  He is married to the lovely Jennie Newsome and they have two adorable sons, Tarence Jeray, age 18, and 13 year old Kyle DeVonte'. 

He completed his first project in the fall of 2002 entitled "Praiz Him".  Terry wrote and arranged this project.  He appears on a compilation album called "Men of Valor" which features six new artists.  He recently finished his new double CD entitled "Soul Music".  This is definitely his best work.  Terry defines the album in the lyrics of the title song "Soul Music"- "music that breaks yokes and inspired by the Holy Ghost." The double album consists of twenty-one anointed tracks that will bless your soul!

Terry's mission statement states: "No matter what you've done or your situation, you can be restored, made clean, redeemed.  Be Blessed!
