Steve Terreberry

Terreberry created his YouTube channel on January 7, 2008. His first video was a guitar cover of "When the Saints Go Marching In". He began to gain popularity on the site in 2011, with the first major video being "How To Play Guitar Like Lil Wayne".^[4]

In 2014, Terreberry signed on with music label Artery Recordings.^[7] Terreberry's debut album, Album of Epicness, was released in 2015 with the lead single "Djenstrumental".^[8] He also contributed the guitar solo on the song "Love Me Back" by the fictional band Sunrise Skater Kids, off of Jarrod Alonge's 2015 project Beating a Dead Horse.^[9]

In 2019, Terreberry started a competition with Jared Dines to play the guitar with the most strings.^[10] The competition ended after Terreberry received a custom 20-string guitar, made by 10s Guitars.^[11] Terreberry and Dines later sold their instruments for charity.^[12]

Also in 2019, Terreberry was invited to tour with DragonForce as a replacement for bassist Frédéric Leclercq.^[13] Initially agreeing to the tour, Terreberry swiftly dropped out due to anxiety attacks.^[14] Afterwards, he was given a cameo appearance in the music video for the song "Razorblade Meltdown".^[15]

On May 7, 2021, Terreberry's YouTube channel was hacked, resulting in most of his videos being set to private, as well as his channel's name and photo being changed.^[16] The hacker was identified as a Binance employee impersonator. During the hack, a livestream involving Binance was public on his channel until it was terminated shortly after a mass report.^[16] When Terreberry's channel was recovered, the livestream was removed, and his channel's name and photo were reset. Three days later, all of his videos were reset to public.^[17]

On March 30, 2022, Terreberry played a guitar solo on stage with DragonForce during the band's live show in Toronto.^[18]

On September 27, 2025, Terreberry launched a new YouTube channel, "Unka Munka". The channel uploads children's songs written and performed by Terreberry, in the musical style of rock and pop-punk. The first song named "Animal Sounds Are Fun" was uploaded the same day.^[19]

Terreberry resides in Ontario, Canada, where he was also born and raised. He was given the middle name "Roger" in tribute to his uncle, who died at 17 from muscular dystrophy before Terreberry was born.^[27]

Terreberry's grandfather, Leo Daudelin (1934–2022), was the accordion player for the band Sundown Jim and the Willoughby Ramblers.^[28][29] After Daudelin's death, his accordion was passed down to Terreberry, who used it to cover one of his band's songs as a tribute.^[30]

Terreberry often says his favourite guitar riff is from Eric Clapton's hit song, "Layla"; and that his favourite solo is from "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd.^[31] His other influences include Metallica, Nuno Bettencourt, Pantera (particularly Dimebag Darrell), and AC/DC (particularly Angus Young).^[32]

Terreberry has owned a number of different guitars, with many coming from Kiesel Guitars. One of his Kiesel guitars was designed in tribute to his late producer Carmen Sorge, and was stylized after a Gibson Les Paul used by Alex Lifeson. He also owns a Solar guitar that was gifted by Ola Englund.^[33]
