In a recent release, GEM – Guyana’s premier lifestyle magazine
announced that Chutney Star – the iconic Terry Gajraj will be featured
on the cover of their next edition. Terry can be seen looking elegantly
dressed in a black suit, white shirt and tie as he portrays a 1960’s
classic look. The photo was taken exclusively for the magazine by
motographyphotos.com.
Terry, who has been in the entertainment business for a number of
decades, really hit it off with fans around the world with his 1992 hit
“Guyana Babboo.” Since then, he and his repertoire of hits from
various genres of music have grown tremendously.
In the exclusive interview seen only in GEM, the magazine asks the
incomparable Terry: “You have performed in front of thousands of fans
over the years, and people see a singer that obviously knows his craft
well and who is enjoying himself, but how do you see yourself?”
Terry’s response: “LOL, I still see myself as a country boy from
the village of Fyrish who still loves everything I did as a kid. I
cherish the simple way of life, fishing, riding a cycle, cricket, my
Guyanese food and my Guyanese girls lol…”
In another question from the extensive interview, GEM asked Terry: “ What is the secret to your
longevity?”, and he replied: “LOVE! You have to give love to
receive love. I love my music and I love the fans I sing for. They make
me happy and for that I always tell them “there is no me without
you.” If you love what you do, you never have to work a day in your
life. I feel blessed, grateful and humbled.”
The full interview including pictures from his performance at an event
last May in Atlanta, Georgia can be seen in the next edition of GEM.
GEM which was launched in 2004 continues to be Guyana’s most
inclusive / exclusive lifestyle magazine for both locals and visitors.
This highly glossy publication is very popular in the Guyanese Diaspora
also, as its many fans overseas clamber to read about who’s who and
the latest trends at home.
