Profile creatorTrinity is the living embodiment of Hip Hop; all that it was and all that it strives to be. She brings intellect, wit, honesty and wordplay that other females as well as male contemporaries are all too willingly ready to compromise in pursuit of rap riches and fame. She has steadily approved upon her skills for her moment to show the world what she can do.
Why keep sending a man to do a woman’s job? “My songs are cleverly crafted and every bit as good as all the greats who ever touched a microphone”. “I just want people to hear a voice that is often silenced in the male dominated world of Hip Hop”. Al l my stories are strong enough for a man, but spit by a woman”.
Trinity was born in New York to Jamaican parents of Irish, Indian, and African-American decent. When she was four, her parents divorced resulting in her being raised by her mother in a single family household. “I think in many ways that ultimately helped me craft my sound”. Trinity was reared in the violent and drugged plagued White Plains/Gun Hill area of the Bronx. “Being raised in an area like that, it’s pretty difficult to stay on the straight and narrow, there’s a lot of negativity and temptation out there”. “Fortunately I had strong parents who kept me focused and supported me in all my growth.” “I always loved basketball and my parents nourished that by keeping me on teams and I was really good to, I just knew I was going to be the first woman in the NBA, when I dream I guess I dream big”. While improving upon her basketball prowess, Trinity’s mother decided to move to Atlanta Georgia for greener pastures. With a change of scenery Trinity was now fully enthralled in the game of basketball, “Discovering basketball and moving to Georgia at that time of my life kept me from potentially getting into a lot of bad situation’s”.
Trinity discovered her love for music while living in Georgia. “I remember being at my cousin’s studio and just being mesmerized by the whole process of recording and expressing your feelings in that manner”. “From that moment forward I knew I was destined to pursue music as a career, I wasn’t always sure how, but I knew I was going to fulfill that dream.” Despite my love for the game, I gave up my hoop dreams that day and never looked back. My life was now heading in a direction where there would be no turning back, but I was never afraid to go forward. But Trinity didn’t just want to be a part of Hip Hop, like everything else she got involved with; she wanted to be the best. Upon first embarking on her growth in rap Trinity felt a little resistance, “most people only seen me as a pretty face and didn’t respect me as the artist that I wanted and knew I could be. “As a “female MC” I found that most people wanted me to rap about getting guys for their money or sexual exploits so I can see how a lot of females are swayed down that path.” Trinity was fortunate enough not to sell herself short and instead focused on improving her skills. “People not believing in me and the direction I chose for myself, only made me want to go harder and get better”. “I knew I had to find my voice and what separated me from everyone else, I needed something that was my signature sound”.
Trinity stumbled upon her sound while, working on various tracks in efforts to complete her first solo project. “I generally received a lot of positive feedback, but I started to notice that more people seemed to gravitate towards my fusion of my two favorite styles of music”. “I did a couple more “blended” songs and it just felt right, it was undeniable”.
Trinity’s sound is a vibrant collision of tapestries between the worlds of Hip Hop and Reggae. Trinity’s voice is ripe with pain, redemption and strength. Her tones drips with emotion and her art is about the family of man with all of it beauties flaws and scars. “I like to try and craft my music around me as opposed to doing what others expect or would want me to do” My music is an expression of what many people (in particular young girls) feel but don’t have the voice to shout or scream it. “I scream for them, because I don’t rap, I roar”.
“I’d like to think that I capture a wide array of topics that are not generally touched upon in the world of Hip Hop.” I’m also aware that saying that sounds kind of cliché but I guess you’ll have to listen to the music and judge for yourself.” “I’m both blessed and thankful that I was able to surround myself with a team that believe in what I’m doing in encourage me to push it to the limits of my imagination.” Trinity has put in the necessary work and is on a course to secure her destiny as being one of the great MCs of any era regardless of gender. “For my foreseeable future, I just want to not be viewed as a female MC, but a respected artist who puts out solid work that both inspires and empowers my listeners”. Is that to much to ask for from one artist? Not for Trinity the very definition of Hip Hop!!
