Apart from being a brilliant singer, Terry Apala is also a song writer and has recently gained recognition for his writing prowess by working with Annie Macaulay-Idibia on a soundtrack for the movie “Calabar Girls”. He has also worked with A-list artists like Olamide, Phyno, Orezi, and Fuse. He is currently signed to Merit Records and Entertainment.
