It is a pleasure to welcome actor, singer, producer, and philanthropist Terayle Hill to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. 

Terayle stars as Marquise Howard in the popular TV series: Step Up. Based on the Step Up film franchise, the series follows the students and teachers at Atlanta’s High Water Performing Arts School, one of the city’s most cutthroat performing arts schools. In its third season, Marquise is finding his voice in every area of his life as he continues to grow as a performer in the music world. Some of Terayle’s co-stars include Carlito Olivero, Faizon Love, Ne-Yo, Christina Millan, and Tricia Helfer.

Terayle Hill is also starring as Todd Wesley in BET+’s original holiday film A Wesley Christmas. The film follows adult siblings Chris, Todd, and Cydney Wesley as they travel to their childhood home in Washington, DC, to celebrate the Christmas holidays with their parents, Bryan and Sylvia, and their entire family. Upon arrival, all kinds of family drama, a crazy neighbor, and conflict ensue. With the Wesley Family together and all their physical and emotional baggage in tow, this annual family get-together promises to be a festive, hot mess of a Christmas season with life-changing impacts for the entire family. 

When he is not acting, Terayle Hill is the co-founder and co-owner of Everybodies Inc. This multi-branch media enterprise creates and produces original series, music appeal, and more. Terayle and Ivan Gaskin worked to build and organize a team of over 100 creatives to come together and tell stories like never before. Everybodies Inc. has multiple branches, including the Everybodies Network Channel on YouTube, the Everybodies Music Group, Everybodies Publishing, and Everybodies Appeal.
