Hailing from Chattanooga, Tennessee, Terran “T-RAN” Gilbert is a HISTORY MAKER, a Gospel recording artist, songwriter, producer, director, and speaker whose music is rooted in faith, hope, and purpose.

​

As a child, T-RAN sang from his kitchen table and in his grandfather’s church choir, where faith and worship shaped his foundation. That calling carried him across 10 countries and three continents, with performances alongside Kirk Franklin and Shania Twain, and onto the Season of Non-Violence Tour with Dr. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi.

​

His music spans the Live And Not Die EP, The Imprint, and standout singles including “Overcomer,” “Save Me,” “Don’t Stop the Fight,” “Jesus,” and “More of You,” leading into his forthcoming project, My Revival.

Recognized by the Tennessee General Assembly, T-RAN became the first African American Gospel recording artist appointed Ambassador of the Music & Entertainment Industry, a historic distinction highlighted by The Tennessean. MusicRow placed the honor within Tennessee’s tradition of cultural ambassadors, including Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, and Reba McEntire. His impact has also earned two Keys to the City, one from Chattanooga and one from Gallatin, Tennessee, along with Tennessee proclamations honoring his achievements and impact on the music industry, and Chattanooga City Council recognition for his service to the community.

​

His creative work earned national recognition through People Magazine, which featured “Other Side,” a record T-RAN co-wrote, produced, and directed. He is a voting member of the Recording Academy (GRAMMYs), Country Music Association (CMA), Gospel Music Association (GMA), and Academy of Country Music (ACM).

​

Beyond music, T-RAN is the founder of Live And Not Die Inc. and Founder & CEO of 22Visionz. He and his wife, Alexis, have been married for 12 years and are raising their daughters, Amoré and Ayla, in Nashville, Tennessee. His family remains his greatest inspiration and the heart behind his purpose.
