Terrance Edwards-Rountree previously known as Terry E$Q now known as UpTop Toot came up in New Haven, CT in the neighborhood called “The Ville". He's been developing his own sound called #NewTrapSwing which derives from a mixture of production and genres mainly from the legendary Teddy Riley mixed with Kanye’s futuristic audio output mixed with trap drums, melodic harmonies, and a hip hop vibrato. Musical influences coming from Maxell, Tyrese, Dmx, Jay-Z, Usher and Jodeci. He's been in New York for about 5+ yrs networking and crafting his sound with Grammy nominated producer Andrew “Broadway” Williams who has helped Toot push to the limits of his talents bringing out the best of his songwriting and vocals not only as his engineer, producer but also as a musical mentor a kin to a Snoop and Dre dynamic, who’s credits go as far as Kat Dahlia, (MTV Making The Band) Donnie Klang, NYC native Liana Banks and the group The ChainSmokers and many more. While Toot is an artist he also took a break from music working as a production assistant to Jack Thriller of ThisIs50.com on his stand alone show “Party and Bullshit Show ” for a short stint. Going back to his roots Toot gears up to drop music and video content all spring, summer, and fall (2020). His mission is to help CT artist put a foot in the music game while putting the industry on notice that there is a new pen and voice in the game to lookout for. i95 will never be the same nor will the world of music. CT on the Rise.
