Bio
Trish is the epitome of a triple threat, earning the right to reach for the sky and fly with the stars. Perhaps it’s the relentless depth of her passion or the intoxicating quality of her voice, but the dance-driven, electro-pop infused entertainer has an undeniable star power. Earning the coveted title as the “next big thing”, her music intertwines the elements of electrifying R&B and captivating funk with an edgy hip-hop feel.
Born on a leap year into a family of musicians, the stunning beauty was taught the value of arts at a young age. Her father is a guitarist who has shared the stage with icons such as Peter Tosh and the late Bob Marley. Trish was constantly surrounded by a creative outlet that enforced singing and performing as a form of self-expression. Even before graduating high-school, she had developed an impressive resume as a runway model.
“Can you imagine if all singers sounded and performed alike?” Trish says of her project. “My musical taste is so diverse, that definitely comes across in what I release.” With a voice to match her charismatic spirit, Trish has a tone that catches the attention of the audience and with a four-octave range so rare, industry professionals have begun to take note. “I have not seen a star quality this raw in my entire career” says Trish’s mentor Luther Brown, who is an internationally-renown choreographer who has worked with the likes of Brandy, Keshia Chante and Janet Jackson. Brown met Trish while she was performing with Act Out, a youth-run organization addressing hot topics such as drugs and self-image. “I saw her perform and was really taken back. There is no one else who looks, moves or sounds like her.” From there, he knew he had a star on his hands and took her under his wing. Trish laughs thinking of their first rehearsal, “I didn’t even know I could dance like what he brought out of me!”
Down to earth, gracious and charming, Trish mixes her performance background with a bravado that captures your ear. To date, she has performed at showcases and concerts in both New York City and Toronto, receiving accolades from each city’s top taste-makers. Her highly anticipated catchy beat-fuelled single “Don’t Watch Me” featuring J Diggz & Oh! will officially be released in early 2009, but is already accumulating a significant amount of downloads on MySpace. The accompanying video was directed by Lil X (Jay-Z, Rihanna, Usher), and is a career highlight for Trish; “I was always a huge fan of his work. It was a dream come true for him to be involved in this project.”
It’s rare to find a new artist who isn’t looking for an easy break on a reality show or casting call, and Trish works for every opportunity that opens for her. Exceptionally talented and supported by an all-star management team, she is poised to surprise the industry with her achievements. With a glow of confidence in her voice, she adds – “I’m an artist that puts my heart into everything. I’m ready to inspire the world.”
