Terri MacMillan

Lyricist, Assistant Producer

Terri has been in love with words and music all her life. After graduating H.S. of Music & Art, she attended Fordham University as an English major, delving deep into the poetry and prose of formative creative periods such as the Harlem Renaissance. A stint as GM for Prince’s Paisley Park Music gave her a knack for administering the business side of words and music. After developing a fascination with Japan’s underground music scene, she teamed up with one of her dearest friends to bring stellar Shibuya-kei band Pizzicato Five to North America and Europe. Along the way, she co-wrote and consulted on English versions of their hits, including ‘Twiggy Twiggy’ and ‘Baby Love Child’.

Terri has ghostwritten and consulted on lyrics for a number of Japanese artists, and continues to write for her own artist project, Antaidian, and her compadre’s band Sabolitai.
