Featuring versatile Soca artiste
 Born on the Caribbean island of Trinidad, Trinity discovered his gift for music at age 5. From that day onward he has never
been hesitant to share his talent with anyone within earshot! With an incredible range and a versatile style influenced by
R&B, Soca, Reggae and Hip-Hop, Trinity is ready to take the music industry by storm!
Whether it was the church choir, school chorus or just at a family
gathering, Trinity was ready willing and able to entertain audiences since childhood! It was at one of his impromptu performances
that his voice caught the attention of none other than legendary Calypsonian, the Mighty Sparrow.
Sparrow recommended
Trinity to the leading music professors in the country for vocal training. Shortly after that, Trinity started to win awards
and recognition from all over Trinidad & Tobago, included in that list of accolades was being voted the number one male
singer in the country's
National High School competition.
At 15, Trinity and his family moved to New York
City, where he began to develop his songwriting and vocal skills, performing his original songs in talent shows and showcases.
He spent 2 years performing covers of popular Soca and Reggae as the lead singer for a popular Caribbean band based in New
York City. However, his ultimate goal was to write and perform his own
compositions as an international recording artist.
He wanted to develop into a complete entertainer in the mold of Michael Jackson and Usher, two of the entertainers he most
admired for their exciting combination of enthusiasm, dancing, singing, and stage presence.
In his quest to secure
a contract with a major record label he was met with much disappointment, as a result of this, Trinity took his destiny into
his own hands. He reunited with his childhood friend and producer, S-Won and began working on an R&B album in his basement,
releasing his first single Tomorrow. He manufactured his CDs in his basement and began selling them from the trunk of his
car. By September of 2005, Trinity's first CD had sold 15,000 copies!
2006 brought a new beginning to the career
of Trinity when he entered an agreement with Catalyst Records; a division of New York based Catalyst Entertainment. Michelle
Miche Williams of Catalyst Productions, known as the only female producer in the Soca industry, will produce his debut mainstream
album. Miche and Trinity have formulated a plan to combine an eclectic mix
of styles that is sure to capture the attention
of listeners from every walk of life.
In the summer of 2007 Trinity won U.S Male Soca Artist of Year at the Soca
Awards in New York. Despite having a long personal and musical history with Catalyst, the singer feels that this union has
come at the right time and will mark the turning point in his musical career.
Currently, Trinity is doing a promotional
tour along the East Coast.The album is currently in production and is slated to be released in first quarter of 2009. The
lead single from the album is called "Wine with you along with his hit single "Got my attention" featuring Problem Child, the tune features Trinity's versatility in combining R&B and Soca rhythms. The first single
will be followed
with the dancehall-infused Ohh, a song that displays the artists vast range with smooth vocals and reggae influenced chanting.
If the past has been any indication, Trinity will definitely be one to watch for in the future!

IZATRINI.com Morns the loss of a great Soca Legend
 KINGSTON, Jamaica, November 5, 2008 - Jamaica is mourning the
loss of one of its musical ambassadors, Byron Lee.
Mr Lee, who founded the famed band 'Byron Lee and the Dragonaires', died yesterday at the age of 73 after a long
battle with cancer.
"Jamaica, and indeed the
world, has lost another great music pioneer with the passing of Byron Lee, one of the greatest band leaders ever to grace
the entertainment stages of the world," said Prime Minister Bruce Golding.
He said Mr Lee had dedicated 50-years of his life, bringing the best of Jamaica's music to the world and
opening doors of opportunity for young musicians. Mr Golding noted that he had excelled not only as a musician, but was known
to be one of the best promoters and label and studio owners, and could be credited for the explosion in the popularity of
Jamaica's music as far back as the 1960s.
Meantime,
Culture Minister Olivia 'Babsy' Grange described Mr Lee as one of the "great sons of our music and culture".
She said the nation would be eternally grateful for
the seminal contribution which he made to the development and promotion of Jamaican music.
Mr Lee, already the recipient of the Order of Distinction, was conferred with the Order of Jamaica, the fourth
highest National Honour, at a specially arranged ceremony on October 26 at the University Hospital of the West Indies where
he had recently been admitted.
His family described
him as "a very kind, generous, humble and talented man who was always working to use music to unite persons of all ages,
races and people from all walks of life".
Mr Lee
is survived by his wife Sheila; sons Byron and Edward John; daughters Deanna, Judith, Julianne and Danielle; as well as grandchildren,
Amelia, Alexander, Jessica, Victoria, Amanda, Jaden and Dylan.
