Steven Roger Terreberry[2] (/ˈtɛribɛri/, born September 30, 1987),[3][4] also known as Stevie T, is a Canadian YouTuber and musician based in Welland, Ontario.[5] He is known for his comedic videos involving music[6] and for being a notable player of the djent subgenre.[7]

Career

[edit]

Terreberry created his YouTube channel on January 7, 2008. His first video was a guitar cover of "When the Saints Go Marching In". He began to gain popularity on the site in 2011.[5]

In 2014, Terreberry signed on with music label Artery Recordings.[8] Terreberry's debut album, Album of Epicness, was released in 2015 with the lead single "Djenstrumental".[9] He also collaborated with Jarrod Alonge on his 2015 project Beating a Dead Horse.[10]

In 2019, Terreberry started a competition with Jared Dines to play the guitar with the most strings.[11] The competition ended after Terreberry received a custom 20-string guitar.[12] Terreberry and Dines later sold their instruments for charity.[13] That year, Terreberry was invited to tour with DragonForce as a replacement for bassist Frédéric Leclercq.[14] Initially agreeing to the tour, Terreberry swiftly dropped out due to anxiety attacks.[15] Afterwards, he was given a cameo appearance in the music video for the song "Razorblade Meltdown".[16]

On May 7, 2021, Terreberry's YouTube channel was hacked, resulting in all of his videos being set to private, as well as his channel's name and photo being changed.[17] The hacker was identified as a Binance employee impersonator. During the hack, a livestream involving Binance was public on his channel until it was terminated shortly after a mass report.[17] When Terreberry's channel was recovered, the livestream was removed, and his channel's name and photo were reset. Three days later, all of his videos were reset to public.[18]

On March 30, 2022, Terreberry played a guitar solo on stage with DragonForce during the band's live show in Toronto.[19]
