Early life and education[]

Grice was born and raised in the small town of Mullins, South Carolina.[3][2] He moved to North Carolina with his mother when he was 14.[3] Grice was raised a devout Christian and attended church regularly, where he also sang in the choir. He was not allowed to listen to secular music and grew up listening to gospel artists like Helen Baylor, Shirley Caesar, and the Winans.[3]

He was a serious tennis player from age 11 and traveled regularly for games.[2] He was undefeated until he sustained a shoulder injury as a high school junior.[2] After having to stop playing tennis, Grice took a class about television that developed his interest in the entertainment industry. He went on to receive his bachelor's degree in film making from Full Sail University.[2]

After college, Grice moved to Los Angeles and worked in television production as a casting assistant for programs including The Voice and Showtime at the Apollo.[2] He credits the experience with teaching him skills in interviewing.[2]

In December 2017, Grice started a YouTube channel with reaction videos to television singing competitions The Voice and The Four.[4] He continued to gain followers and began using his one-bedroom apartment to interview guests for The Terrell Show.[3] The guests are singers, producers, and actors, many who are up-and-coming, and the interviews usually feature a game called Song Association.[5] The Source referred to the show as "one of the most comprehensive talent discovery platforms for R&B music."[6] Previous guests include Amber Riley, Durand Bernarr, Cynthia Erivo, Avery Wilson, Lalah Hathaway, The Clark Sisters, PJ Morton, and Todrick Hall.[3][2]

Grice is a singer-songwriter and in 2019 independently released the album An Invitation to the Cookout featuring vocals from several past Terrell Show guests.[7]

Grice's channel also includes the original singing competition Race to the Blue, which debuted in 2019.[2] In 2021, he expanded his channel to include the cooking show T and Coco with singer and actress Coco Jones and moved production to a studio.[2]

He was named to the #YouTubeBlackVoices Creator Class of 2021.[7] Grice was a red carpet host for the 62nd Grammy Awards and was also hired as an official host of the 93rd Oscars Virtual Watch Party.[8][9]
