ThermanRussell

Oxfordshire, UK

Musician, singer, songwriter, producer, author. Born and raised in the mean streets of West Philadelphia, USA, Therman had to rise up from the adversity he faced everyday; being surrounded by deprivation, gang violence and broken families. One of ten children, and raised by a single mother who possessed strong values, faith, character and self esteem, Therman was taught at an early age how to be "in" the ghetto but not "of" the ghetto. Choosing music instead of violence, at the age of 13, he formed a talented and dynamic nine piece band (including a horn section) which gained him popularity and respect in the community by demonstrating that you could do well and achieve great things in spite of your environment; he's been creating music ever since. Nowadays, Therman resides in the UK where he's lived for many years. All of his songs are written, produced and recorded by him in his own studio. Therman says, "As for me, I will continue making music until God says otherwise."
