Description: Benue state born Amanyi Oche Gabriel a.k.a Terry G  is a Nigerian artist and producer. He began as a protege of ex plantashun boi, Faze. He was on course to get a deal from Faze’s album label, Independent entertainment before he got a mega deal from Bluemoon entertainment which he opted for, as an artiste/super beatmaker responsible for many hit tracks on rotation. He released an album which though heavy on the production end didn't establish him as a major star.

He found break-out fame when he produced 2 shots’ “in case you never know” featuring Timaya. His love for the reggaeton beat has seen him retain that style though he seems to imprint his own style strongly on every track. He has continued to be the favourite beatmaker in Nigeria as evidenced from hits he has produced and featured including “Pass me your love” by A.Y.com , “Aye Po Gan” by Illbliss, “One by One” by Side One among others. He’s been criticised for producing beats that sound the same but beatmakers with strong personalities like timbaland, pharrell and scott storch have similar sounding beats. Make no mistake the guy knows how to make people dance.

He ‘s currently the CEO of TGP Records. Terry G has done lots of collaborations with lots of artiste.Terry G nicknamed Ginjah DE Ginjah, Swaggah DE Swaggah, Intellectual Spiritual Madman.He has a crew he calls” House of Ginjah.”

Terry G directs his videos under his company TGP-TERRY G PRODUCTIONS and already he has directed more than 7 videos including the trending one called ''See Groove." He featured in the female music diva Tonto Dikeh's song ''Crazically Fit'' which was produced by Mr. Akpako himself, Terry G.

On November 2012, Terry G had a baby in a British hospital with his UK-based wife, Mimi. “God has been good to me. He gave me a woman with a good spirit. I just moved into my own house in Iju-Ishaga (Lagos), and now, the greatest gift of all, my very own child. Now, I have something to live and to die for,” Terry G said.
