Today we’d like to introduce you to Trinity Miller
Hi Trinity, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve been singing since I was little at my grandparents church and for other churches for years growing up. My father and his sisters are professional singers and I was always inspired and encouraged by them and my mother. I even had the opportunity to be a regular lounge singer at the Ritz Carlton in Charlotte, NC when I lived there for just a couple of years when I was 16/17. Although, it wasn’t until recently when I actually started considering myself an artist and taking my craft seriously as a performer. I got accepted into the University of Memphis to study musical theater and I did that for a year, then the pandemic happened. I then learned about the flagship ensemble, Sound Fuzion so I changed my major to music business and joined Sound Fuzion as a vocalist my sophomore year at UofM. I remember being on the phone with a close friend of mine and he told me that I needed to get serious about writing music. Up until then, I didn’t take songwriting serious because I didn’t think I could do it but my friend was right, so I started writing and writing. Eventually I was performing my own original music for performances at the University, connecting with other song writers & producers in the Memphis area, and getting involved with amazing music entities such as 91.7 FM WYXR, Crosstown Arts, etc.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
So far, this journey has not been a linear experience and that’s ok because this industry is not always linear. The biggest struggles I’ve had have been things I’ve had to overcome on my own as far as knowing what my boundaries are as an artist, not doubting myself and my ability to do hard and great things, and not making excuses and handicapping myself as a singer and performer if I don’t not know how to do something. I tell myself to either figure it out for myself, or reach out to the numerous resources I have around me until I know how to do something rather than feel sorry for myself.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a professional singer/songwriter! I love to perform throughout Memphis and write songs that I know young women can relate to! I sing R&B/Soul music and I’m most proud of producing my own show that I planned to celebrate graduating college in 2024. The show was called “Trinity’s Cabaret” and I planned the entire setlist, stage plot, production videos, choreography, etc. I was able to plan this show with the help of my peers that are students at the University of Memphis. It made me proud because I had never done anything like that before, but it showed that I know how to take charge, communicate what I want for myself artistically, for it to show up in real life and make it happen. I feel that my ability to see something I want, not just say it, but do it is something that sets me apart from others. I’m not a passive person when it comes to music, performing, and my career. Usually if I have a vision for myself, I have to see it through even if it doesn’t look like how I originally planned, at least I know I met a goal and kept a promise to myself.
Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
My community makes me happy. Those that I’m around on a daily basis bring me happiness: my Girlypops, my mentors, and my peers all bring me joy even when I’m not around them. Human connection is something we’re all working towards, finding our people, our tribe, and maintaining that in a healthy way. It’s hard to do that as you get older so I’m grateful for my tribe. They make me laugh, push me to be better, inspire me, and the music I make is a reflection of that.
