Miami-born artist transplanted in NYC, a former model and TV personality, Teraj releases his much anticipated debut EP, DEFY Pt. 1. With multiple tracks engineered by the team behind Calvin Harris’ song “Blame” and jointly produced by Danny Bobby, Vezzo and Teraj himself, the debut EP was released on April 27th on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, and all digital platforms.

The former resident performer at Manhattan’s trendy Iguana Lounge, Teraj, singer and songwriter, is the rising maverick of Pop and R&B. Teraj is also a Cornell graduate who wrote, arranged, and co-produced all of his own tracks for this debut EP, DEFY.

Capitalizing on his previous success as a social media influencer, NYC model, personality, and real estate agent, with numerous appearances on Bravo’s hit reality show Million Dollar Listing New York, Teraj returned to his musical roots to pursue a full-time career in music. Carrying out a lifelong dream of producing a quality album, filled with uplifting songs, edgy beats, and inspiring lyrics stemmed from his own life experiences.

“So don’t believe when they say ‘you can never do that.’ Be brave and take center stage, oh yes you better do that. For generations you’ll pave the way, yes you can do that. Defy and prove them all wrong…” Teraj sings in the chorus of his song “DEFY”, which was engineered by Arthur Indrikovs and Seb Berrios, the team behind Calvin Harris’ “Blame”.

DEFY, Pt. 1 is a fusion of Pop, R&B, and EDM that showcases Teraj’s soulful voice, creating his own unique and refreshing sound.
