How Terry Grant Thrives Being an Actual One-Man Band
Some forms of self-expression are inherently collaborative, and others are clearly a solo effort. How many photographs or paintings were made by more than one person?

Even artists who compose and arrange alone usually then work with a producer and engineer, or bring in studio musicians to flesh out their ideas. But not Terry Grant, known as More Ghost Than Man.

Like I’m there but I don’t belong, and if I just stand still long enough, everyone will forget that I’m even there. The name came from that feeling. Plus, I thought it sounded cool. I should probably talk to someone,” ...
