Biography

Terry Dale Holderby was the first born to a military family in El Paso, Texas, December 15, 1958.  At the age of six he wrote and sang his first gospel song, "Christian Cowboy."

Terry taught himself to play the drums after only a few lessons. While observing Reverend Jimmy Swaggart play the piano from the balcony, at one of his crusades, Terry
was inspired, and taught himself to play the piano.

During August 2000, Terry's fourteen year old son Richard was stricken with two types of cancer. Terry waited helplessly and prayed for healing and answers, and after almost two years of treatment and hospitalization, and bone marrow transplant, Richard has been released and is doing great living in California.

Just prior to Richard's illness, Terry composed "911 For Sin." A song, ironically, that depicted his soon to be dramatic experience in the ER room with his son fighting for his life. While Terry pleaded for his son's life, he dedicated his life to the Lord without reservation, and is seeing great happenings in his life.

Situated in Southeast Alabama he continues to write, and sing gospel songs whenever the opportunity arises. He is a father, and dedicated Christian.  His is fulfilling his hearts desire and plans extensive travels in his future as he proclaims Jesus and Him crucified / the Power of the Holy Ghost. And the manifestation of the 9 gifts of the Spirit.

Terry's songs are heartwarming, born from experience, and dedicated for the glory of God.
He is currently working on a new CD to be released in the spring of 2014. Songs will include "Jesus the Original Superman, CEO in Christ and Reassembled." These are just the rough drafts of songs sent from God. His newest song he is working on is "My Heavenly Bucket List."

In 2011 God spoke to his heart and called him to preach. It has been a struggle since. Satan has put everything he could in front of him but with God's Grace Terry will do WHAT GOD TOLD HIM TO DO. Pray for him as he pursues happiness that only comes from doing The Lord's Will.



A few weeks ago the periodical Business Week, (March 8, 2010) carried an article reviewing the business practices of the “Grateful Dead.”  This band is noted as “one of the most profitable bands of all times.”  The article states, “It (Grateful Dead) established a lucrative merchandising division and took legal action against copyright violators. But, it allowed fans to tape their shows, thereby sacrificing a potential revenue source.  Writing in Wired magazine in 1994, the band’s lyricist, John Perry Barlow, noted, “the best way to raise demand for your product is to give it away.”
