In the latest segment of Homelands, singer Terri Walker returns to her roots in Jamaica to learn about her history and produce some music along the way. Homelands is a year long series of global tours, artistic residencies and insights that documents musicians along their journeys.
 

In order to understand the journey we need a little back story. Born in London to Jamaican parents, Terri moved to Germany aged 4, returning as a teenager to study opera at the Italia Conti Academy. Her breakout was singing for UK garage heavyweights TNT, 187 Lockdown and Shanks & Bigfoot. After signing to Def Soul UK in 2003 she released the album Untitled which saw her nominated for a Mercury Music Prize and 4 MOBO awards.
