Terra Deva McNair is an American singer, actress, and dancer, best known for her contributions to seasons 4 and 5 of the Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Club.[1] She has achieved continued success as both a solo artist and collaborator.

Deva was born in Northern California and, after residing in New York and London for several years, currently calls Los Angeles her home.

Early career

Her unusually pubescent workaholic ethic landed her her first real job, starring in the television show The Mickey Mouse Club[2] for two seasons. She sang, acted, danced, and interviewed celebrities five days a week. At 16, she left Disney.

Around 1993, Terra started going to raves and clubs. After meeting several British DJs and producers, she traveled back and forth to the United Kingdom to write and perform small shows. She also did jazz shows, funk shows, television and radio commercials, and industrial films in San Francisco.

Influences

Deva's work was influenced by Prince, Al Green, Bob Marley, Joni Mitchell, Cocteau Twins, PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, Björk, Seal, Joyce, Lenny Kravitz, and Nick Drake. She also appreciates the work of The Brand New Heavies, Deee-Lite, and underground dance vinyl.
