Background and early career

Terry Apala was born and raised in Mushin, Lagos, Nigeria, where he was introduced to the diverse sounds of Nigerian music at an early age. His musical interests were deeply influenced by the rhythmic and percussive nature of Apala music, a traditional genre associated with the Yoruba ethnic group. His early musical experiences began in the church where he learned to play the drums and guitar, nurturing his passion for music.

Solo career

Apala left the group and decided to embark on a solo career. He released his debut mix trap "Champagne Shower" which launched him into the mainstream.
Apala was nominated for Rookie of the Year at the 2016 Headies Awards, and "Most Promising Act to Watch" at the 2016 Nigeria Entertainment Awards.
On 14 April 2017 he released a cover of Ed Sheeran's single "Shape of You". The cover won him "Best Music Cover of the Year " at the City People Music Awards 2017. That same year, Apala was nominated for Apala Artiste of the Year.
He was featured on Reminisce's 2016 song " Skit".
