About Terrance
Prepare your ears for a treat. The sounds you are about to hear are the works of Houston’s humble producer: Terrance Holliday founder of Texxus Trax Music Creations. Better than a beat maker, Holliday is a trained producer. To work with Texxus Trax is to experience Texxus Trax.
“I am just a vessel,” he says “ here to be worked through”. Like the musical mentality in which he was raised with a gospel singer for a mother and vocal powerhouse Jennifer Holliday for an aunt. Along with being raised in choir and band, Terrance Holliday is a trained music man. His background in record labels, artist management, stage management, and a huge array of programs from Logic Pro to analog sound machines and everything in between make his quality of production an asset for success in creating musical history.
The ultimate pleasure to work with and in high demand Holliday works with artists such as: Hookz of Senze Music, Houston poet Black Snow, Atlanta’s LaLa Stylz and Jovan Dais just to name a few.
Working for over a decade his music is aged to perfection. With the instrumentals in line and the production precisely on point, the industry hasn’t heard a sound so fresh since the music revolution of the seventies.
Pick up the phone and put things in motion. Production is his game: his name is Terrance Holliday.
