Terri Walker (born Chanelle Gstettenbauer) is an English R&B and soul singer-songwriter. Terri released two albums in the UK, Untitled and L.O.V.E. Both albums, however, failed to reach the top seventy-five of the UK Albums Chart. She also provided the majority of the vocals for Shanks & Bigfoot's debut album Swings & Roundabouts. Her third album, entitled I Am was released on 15 May 2006, following the release of her fourth single, "Alright with Me".

Walker, born in Wimbledon, London to Jamaican parents, moved to Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany when she was four, and she speaks fluent German. Back in the UK, Walker attended a small boarding school in Surrey, where she began to study and sing opera. "Training to sing Opera helped in my breathing to sing and it was a useful skill to learn". From the age of seventeen, Walker moved back to the UK permanently to study at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London, which is renowned throughout the world as a performing arts centre of excellence.
