Greetings. My name is Trevor. I play music…and love doing it. It has been a wonderful teacher, friend, and companion over the years. This is the part where I tell you a little about my life… so far. I grew up in South Carolina until the age of 16. I had a wonderful childhood, a great family, and good friends. I started playing music fairly young. My dad was a drummer and a musician himself. I guess I got some of his genes. Every day after school, I would come home, pick up my guitar, and write songs for a couple hours. It was my favorite time of the whole day. I began playing for my parents, who supported me to the fullest. For my 15th or 16th birthday, my dad got me some time in his friend's recording studio. I made my first record, which was mostly sold to my friends and family. It was at that time when my family and I started taking the music more seriously.
In 10th grade, I was very fortunate to have traveled to California to attend Idyllwild School for the Arts, an international boarding school east of Los Angeles. My time there was some of the best years of my life. I studied classical guitar and met many wonderful people from around the world who greatly influenced my life in a profound way. My greatest lesson there was observing how art spoke to everyone…no matter what race, what faith, or what country you were from. I saw how it brought people together, and that made me feel good.
In my senior year of high school, I signed a record deal with Geffen Records. After graduation, I moved to LA to give my music full attention. I was very blessed to have worked with great producers such as John Alagia (John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews) and The Laboriel Brothers (Sting, Paul Mccartney). Unfortunately, other than an EP, none of the records I made with Geffen ever came out. They dropped me from the label in 2008. But that didn't deter me. I picked up my guitar, wrote 14 new songs, and recorded an acoustic album with my good friend/percussionist Chris Steele. We have named that album "This is Blue." It was a wonderful, liberating experience. I feel very lucky to still have the opportunity to create music with good friends and people.
Over the years, I have toured and played with wonderful acts such as Steel Pulse, The Wailers, Matisyahu, Stevie Nicks, Ben Harper, Colbie Caillat, Los Lobos, Ziggy Marley, Rusted Root, and many others. It has been such a blessing to cross paths with so many beautiful people and wonderful musicians. They all have influenced me so much.
My favorite part of the whole thing thus far is meeting new people on the road. It is funny how people come together, connect, and establish friendships. I never knew that I would have friends in Peoria, Illinois or Vail, Colorado. Through music, we have all been able to come together, share our ideas and love, and then move on. I cannot express how thankful I am to all the fans who have supported me over the years. I have truly greatly enjoyed meeting all of you. I hope we get to cross paths again soon.
Thanks for taking the time to read a little bit about my journey. I hope that your travels are going smoothly and unfolding nicely. Until we meet again…

Hello, I'm looking for for a ride to the show in Lexington, KY on Nov 16th. I live Springfield,Oh (Near Dayton) My ride situation fell through and now I am stuck. :-( If anybody happens to be from my area or passing my area to go to the show and perhaps you have an extra seat it would be a blessing if you could get me there. I have $25 on the gas fund(enough to get a ticket) and no worries, I am a very open mined honest individual who would walk to Mars to see this show but would much rather find a ride to KY! This is my desperate attempt to get there. Please help! email me at rob.sev7s @gmail.com or contact me through myspace if you can help. Thanks in advance!
hey last nights omaha show was amazing, thank you to you and Chris for getting me on the guest list. I very much appreciate the love.... Thanks again keep up the unity stance.... Shalom
Your song Bharat is a mantra, constantly repeating in my head.
Is there anyway I can find a place to download it? Already searched iTunes and everywhere else. Is it not finished, the song on your site says "Demo", is it a work in progress?
So... you had inflamed vocal cords in August when you came to Des Moines, and then a cancelled flight last month when you were suppose to come to Des Moines. I haven't been to a concert of yours since like, last winter! It' been way too long. ;) Please come back! We all miss you here...
