Terence Wallen began his journey in the mid-90s performing Gregory Isaacs tributes across the UK, gradually moving from sound systems and studio sessions to live shows that grew in popularity. Initially treating music as a hobby while focusing on entrepreneurship and humanitarian work, his path shifted after encouragement from longtime mentor Grantley “GT” Haynes. With GT’s guidance, Terence released his debut single Not The Way, sold out shows across Birmingham and London, and embarked on an acclaimed tour of Senegal and The Gambia, where audiences and media hailed him as a reincarnation of Gregory Isaacs. His performances at major festivals and alongside reggae legends like Aswad further established his credibility as both a tribute act and an artist in his own right.
Building on his reputation, Terence was cast as the lead in Gregory Isaacs – The Cool Ruler Musical, a groundbreaking stage production that has drawn rave reviews, sold-out venues, and global interest from promoters and industry leaders. Beyond the stage, Terence is also a published author, motivational speaker, and Forbes-featured entrepreneur, combining artistry with advocacy for reggae culture and humanitarian causes. With upcoming tours, new music releases, and his starring role in the musical, Wallen has firmly positioned himself as not just a performer but a cultural ambassador, carrying forward Gregory Isaacs’ legacy while shaping his own.
