Meet Terrance Smith | Music and Entertainment

We had the good fortune of connecting with Terrance Smith and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Terrance, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The idea to start Tass International came from a combination of my deep passion for both film and music, along with a realization that there was space in the industry for something new, bold, and innovative. As someone who has always been drawn to storytelling and artistic expression, I found myself increasingly frustrated by the lack of creativity and fresh perspectives coming from the major film studios and music companies. They seemed more focused on playing it safe and relying on the same formulas rather than pushing boundaries and taking risks. That’s where I saw an opportunity for Tass International to come in.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As a music executive, I oversee the development and management of musical talent, guiding artists through the creative and business aspects of the industry. My role involves everything from scouting new talent and nurturing their growth to managing contracts, distribution, and partnerships. I work closely with artists to ensure that their music not only resonates with their audience but also has the right commercial strategy behind it, ensuring success both creatively and financially.

In addition to my work as a music executive, I’m also deeply involved in the creative process as a music producer. Here, I collaborate with artists in the studio, helping to shape their sound and bring their vision to life. Whether it’s composing, arranging, or mixing, I ensure that the final product is something that stands out in the competitive music landscape.

On the film side, as a screenwriter, I’m responsible for crafting compelling stories that connect with audiences. Writing scripts allows me to blend my passion for storytelling with my understanding of the entertainment industry. I focus on creating narratives that are not only unique and engaging but also culturally relevant and impactful. My work often addresses themes that resonate with today’s society, ensuring that each script offers something fresh to the market.

Lastly, as a movie producer, I take the lead on bringing films from concept to screen. This involves managing everything from pre-production to post-production, including securing funding, hiring the right talent, and overseeing the day-to-day logistics of a film shoot. I work closely with directors, writers, and crew to make sure the creative vision of a project is realized, while also managing the financial and logistical aspects of production.

In all of these roles, my goal is to push the boundaries of both music and film, creating content that not only entertains but also makes a lasting impact.
