Welcome to SlamCast, where your hosts Neil and Brea chat with creatives about their process and how they navigate the grind of promoting themselves. In this episode of SlamCast, we sit down with Terrell X, also known as Carnage the Executioner, a Minneapolis-based hip-hop artist, beatboxer, emcee, and producer. From his early days discovering rhythm and beatboxing as a child to performing in his high school talent show, Terrell knew music was his calling. Now, as a full-time independent artist since 2007, he shares his journey of self-made success, creating his path without a label and promoting his first solo record on his own.

 

We dive into Terrell’s transformation from making music to becoming a musician, including his journey with the Boss RC20XL loop pedal, which became central to his performance style. Terrell also shares how he earned a grant to build a mobile stage, the unique story behind his rebranding from Carnage the Executioner to Terrell X, and the challenges of following your heart despite limited support. Tune in to hear his story of passion, resilience, and artistic evolution!
