INTERNAL QUEST
Hold Up! ...Hip-Hop has been a major force for Internal Quest - the emcee, producer and engineer. Growing up in the streets of New Jersey's largest city, Newark, Terry Booker was born to ben the limelight. Influenced by the Notorious B.I.G., Terry borrowed the Brooklynite's first rap alter ego of Quest and ever since then Terry embodied the skill and potential of a gifted rapper. At the young age of 6 years old Internal Quest began to play drums that lasted until high school. Blessed with the confidence to create music Internal Quest, or simply known as Quest, put his gifts into the orm of music and started to produce and rap. When Quest turned 17 years old he began working with local rappers in Brick City although some of his affiliations fell through, Quest put his future into his own hands and formed After Image Records. After Image Records is a group of young hip-hop inspired rappers, singers and producers that come together to preserve hip-hop and make quality productions through mixtapes and compilations. Quest conceived the idea to establish his own recording studio for local unsigned artists to come together to record their music at a reasonable price with perfect quality sound. Once After Image Records was launched, Quest decided to further pursue audio engineering as a career by enrolling into the Institute of Audio Research (IAR) in Manhattan, NYC. With the constant support of his mother, Quest graduated from IAR with a 3.8 GPA and presented After Image Records and his studio with more opportunity. Legendary Hip-Hop artist El Da Sensei, formerly of the Artifacts, have recorded at After Image Records studio in Newark along with many up and coming local unsigned artists. Quest continues to unleash raw talent by releasing group compilations, mixtapes and solo projects. Hard work paid off, in 2010, Internal Quest is now the lead artist and audio engineer for Jersey Sound Lab Recordings in Newark, NJ. Internal Quest has Brick City in the palm of his hands with his popular recording studio, a high demand independent record label that many local rappers and singers want to be apart of but the best has yet to come, as his debut album drops Fall 2010.
