Leroi Conroy, the artistic moniker of Terry Cole, is a multifaceted musician and producer based in Cincinnati, Ohio. As the founder of Colemine Records, Cole has been instrumental in shaping the indie soul landscape. His musical style seamlessly blends golden-era hip-hop rhythms with the rich textures of 1960s and 1970s film scores, resulting in a distinctive, cinematic sound. Conroy's compositions have garnered attention from notable artists, with tracks like "Tiger Trot" being sampled by DJ Premier, Raekwon, and Ghostface Killah. In July 2025, he released his debut LP, "A Tiger's Tale," a conceptual album envisioned as an alternate soundtrack to Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book," exploring themes of humanity's interaction with nature.
