What was the hardest thing about breaking up as Ted & Sheri?
The hardest thing was probably just not having the support on stage and in the creative process. Creatively we always bounced ideas off of each other. A lot of times I would call Sheri and tell her to write a verse for one of the songs. It was a partnership. That was the biggest transition for me. And you know when you’re on stage and your voice may not be up to par that night your partner can pick up the slack. But when you’re on your own you have to make it happen. Interestingly enough all of my influences are virtually solo artists like; Donald Lawrence, Andrae Crouch, Walter Hawkins, Edwin Hawkins, Richard Smallwood and Karen Clark Sheard. Watching Karen break away from The Clark Sisters to do her first solo album was amazing. I was in college when “Finally Karen” was released and it was incredible. Will Ted & Sheri ever do another album together? We plan to. We’ve talked about it. What’s the best aspect of being on your own now? Well I’ve matured more and it makes you become more
