Maynard “Terrell” Woods / Carnage The Executioner / TERRELL X started his musical journey in 1984 - at age 10. Since then, he has spent the last 30 years professionally making music, motivational speaking, performing as a one-man band, traveling the world, and educating all ages of people from various socio-economic backgrounds. 20 years of teaching human beat boxing/vocal percussion, song writing and composing short stage plays has helped Terrell build an impressive artist resume that extends all the way to Europe (5 tours between 2011 and 2013) and South East Asia (toured in 2018). Carnage has stated he can best be described as an Improvisational Jazz Human Beat Boxer and Rhythmic Storytelling. Carnage is a self-contained instrument, natural curator and collaborator. The Minneapolis Star Tribune made the claim that “Carnage's mouth might be the best drummer in town,” referring to his human beat boxing techniques. Carnage is a shameless survivor of poverty, physical and emotional abuse, who makes no excuses for his upbringing. Instead, he draws inspiration from it to practice self-reflection. Carnage began living a plant-based lifestyle in 2017. His commitment to eating a vegan diet has allowed him to see the importance of showing empathy towards animals. In 2019, Carnage started a grassroots movement called Plant Based Poets. His mission is to unite lovers of music, as well as people who encourage freedom for each and every living being who depends on the health of Earth’s roots for survival. On his 2019 album, “Ravenous,” Carnage is extremely honest about often embracing negativity, over-eating and attracting whatever attention he could ingest. After losing 150+ pounds and gaining a clearer mindset, Carnage believes it’s his calling to become an everlasting example of how we can all continuously strive to be better versions of ourselves. Carnage is currently receiving attention with his new album, “TRANSFORMATION TO TERRELL X”. Carnage’s signature mouth-drumming, thick oral basslines and vocal scratching are on full display - combined with Soul Music samples from the 60’s - 80’s. This is Carnage’s first totally self-produced album, boasting a diverse bed of sounds that provide a backdrop for his tails of struggle, growth, self-discovery and triumph. TTTX is also his most accessible and profound project to date, reflecting the experiences of a fearfully-hardened boy with a rugged persona, turned courageously-vulnerable man — traveling to define his true identity.
