Star of the Week - Terry Lee

At Organic Business Network, our Star of the Week recognition is not about hype, trends, or shortcuts. It’s about respect — respect for the craft, the voice, the journey, and the emotion behind the music. This week, we are proud to name Terryl Lee as our newest Star of the Week, an East Coast R&B/Soul artist whose work reflects patience, purpose, and authenticity at every level.

Terryl Lee is an East Coast resident, actively performing throughout the New York City and Connecticut live music circuit. His sound is rooted in classic R&B and soul traditions, but his approach is deeply personal — built on lived experience, real emotion, and genuine connection with listeners. Rather than chasing algorithms or viral moments, Terryl Lee has earned his audience the traditional way: through consistency, live performance, and songs that speak directly to the heart.

This week also marks a major milestone in his journey. As Melodic Playground Radio officially introduces Terryl Lee to the West Coast, his music now enters a new indie ecosystem that values real human artists and original voices. With the addition of his song “Patience” to Melodic Playground Radio, Terryl Lee steps onto a platform known for championing authenticity and breaking artists beyond their regional borders.

Terryl Lee earned this recognition through his song “Choose Me,” which was recently Respected on the Melodic Playground Music Review Series — a distinction that is not given lightly. In a review environment where hundreds of submissions are evaluated and only a select few pass the bar, “Choose Me” stood out for its emotional honesty, vocal integrity, and unmistakably human presence.

“Choose Me” is not a song designed to impress machines. It’s a song designed to connect with people. From the vocal delivery to the lyrical vulnerability, the track carries the weight of someone asking to be seen, valued, and chosen — not as an option, but as a priority. That sincerity is exactly what earned the song its Respect during the review process.

At Melodic Playground, respect is not about perfection. It’s about truth. And “Choose Me” delivered truth in a way that couldn’t be manufactured or replicated.

The addition of Terryl Lee’s song “Patience” to Melodic Playground Radio feels intentional, almost symbolic. In an industry increasingly driven by speed, shortcuts, and artificial output, “Patience” serves as a reminder that meaningful music takes time. The song reflects the same values Terryl Lee embodies as an artist — restraint, emotional clarity, and trust in the process.

“Patience” doesn’t rush its listener. It allows space for reflection, emotion, and resonance. It’s the kind of record that grows with each listen, revealing more depth the longer you sit with it. That quality aligns perfectly with Melodic Playground Radio’s mission to amplify music that lasts beyond a single moment.

Terryl Lee’s introduction to the West Coast is more than a geographic expansion — it’s a cultural bridge. His East Coast soul roots now meet a West Coast indie network that celebrates originality and real artistry. This moment represents growth not just for the artist, but for the listeners discovering him for the first time.

As his catalog reaches new ears, Terryl Lee stands as a reminder of why human artists still matter. His music carries fingerprints — emotion, breath, imperfection, intention — the things technology can imitate, but never own.

Being selected as Star of the Week is not a finish line — it’s a spotlight on a journey that’s still unfolding. With “Choose Me” earning respect, “Patience” entering rotation, and a new West Coast audience now listening in, Terryl Lee is positioned for a powerful next chapter.

Organic Business Network and Melodic Playground Radio are proud to support artists like Terryl Lee — artists who prove that real voices, real stories, and real emotion will always rise above the noise.
