Jarrod Terrell

Jarrod Christian Stephen Terrell was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to parents Joanna Anonychuk and Stephen Terrell. His mother is a voice teacher and performer, and father a photographer. His parents met when Stephen was photographing a show Joanna was performing in. The arts were clearly in Jarrod's blood, as he excelled musically at an early age. By the time he was 7, he was already playing piano and recorder. He was also quite the character from very early on, always putting on voices and doing silly characters. He was so exuberant, that he can recall his grade 6 teacher telling him to keep his voice down, as it was often too loud and hurt her ears. At age 13, he got cast as the starring role in 'David's Rose,' a friendly ghost who was a mute. His piano teacher and her sister were directing the play and they were having difficulty casting the role, as it required a very specific quality as well as a young man who could carry a tune. He reluctantly auditioned for them
