Terence Etc. (also known as Terence Nance) is an artist born and raised in Dallas, TX committed to offering his work to the world as mandated by his ancestors. Terence exists on the threshold of artistic form, wielding an extensive multidisciplinary perspective and approach across his practice. This multidisciplinary approach comes naturally, cultivated from his experiences and interests throughout childhood, to his formal education, and his own autodidactic prowess.
In 2020, Terence released his first EP “Things I Never Had”. Through music, he seeks to heal by achieving balance between masculine and feminine being(s) in his bodyspirit™. In the tradition of the beings from which he comes, rituals begin first with rhythm, and the spells of the rhythms on his first album “V O R T E X” are a balancing rod designed to stabilize him as he navigates life on Earth. This balance is a matter of survival as the V O R T E X of ‘life’ grows stronger, sexier, more profound, fun and foreboding.
Terence wrote, directed, scored, and starred in his first feature film “An Oversimplification of Her Beauty” which premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and was released theatrically in 2013. He is currently working on the second season of his Peabody Award-winning HBO series, “Random Acts of Flyness”, and also partners with filmmakers Jenn Nkiru, Bradford Young, Nanette Nelms, and Mishka Brown to form The Ummah Chroma Creative Partners—a directors collective and production company.
