About Me


...so i really left my band (MYKA-SHYNE.) with (Androgynous-Adam and MoonGyrl) when they started to play shit-like Hard-Fi and Chemical-Fuckin Romance ...- total lack of creativity - then the drummer left and i thought.. fuck-it ! wanna do sumthing more creative and dynamic music-wise.

I'm Treija by the way - pronounced 'Tray-Yaaa' It means something in Latvian you know ;)
i'm from da Costa Del Peckham - that's 'Sarf Laindon' innit tho! - the place has Sun, Sea, and Primark.
I define my sound as dynamic/alternative punk-pop/electro... Think the Go!Team meats The Klaxons meets N/E/R/D... sometimes its guitar driven, sometimes its drum/breakbeat driven... sometimes it's sticky-static electro-cratic... most times it's raunchy, sexy dub-rocksteady in a No-Doubt stylee... basically just mish-mash it all up. chuck in a bit of Nu Metal, rock, and Punk.. and i like sum hip hop, Trance and RnB too ! basicallly, i dont do boundaries - boundaries are 4 sheep - baaaah !
I used to work as a PR for Polygram/Universal doing there dogsbody work (ahem !!! sticky promo-releases anyone?!?!) and i'm pleased to say (not!) that i was one of many responsible for bringing Hanson to the UK (remember them?) and then worked with Quirky Deptford Girl band ''Alisha's Attic'' (aaah...memories!)
I'm an ex- BRIT SCHOOL boy (yes we did dance Fame-style on tables and roofs of cars) and now i'm pretty much full time at the ''prestigious'' (ahem!) London Music School and really honing my sound.... i guess im maturing moire as an artist/moo-sician and really enhancing my sound with my versitality in singing, my classically trained piano upbringing (yuch!) playing acoustic guitar, Keyboards/Piano and Drums. Chuck in Logic Audio and Pro Tools and i just make a fookin mess ! - a veritable melting pot which is bursting with juicy flavorite ideas! in addition to crafting quirky upbeat, songs with an edge for my EP Project i'm pitching to a few labels, i play in a couple of traditional punk/pop bands as well as collaborating with a few local artists.
..
-- Latest -- been highly busy lately writing my novel - the story of a young boy and a mute alien hybrid girl uncover a secret alien invasion - extracting the life essence of a weak alien life-form to power the new human technology of mind control and psychic warfare. If you like Area 57 conspiracy theories, you'll love this book im writing... t's called 'The Ursula Seed' -and i was dropping Acid when i conceived the idea and really did think asexual aliens were among us !!!..anyway the story has such a mind-blowing twist i'd better keep verrrry fuckin shtum about it... - But i promise there will be a full website where u can read excerpts verrrryy sooon..
