The UB Video Interview: Trenyce Talks New Music
One of our favorites Trenyce told UB recently, she felt that now was the prefect time to put out her debut single “In the End, Alright.” We couldn’t agree more!
A gifted singer since the age of 2yrs old, Trenyce wrote songs, formed groups and sing in every school function possible. Her big break came when she auditioned for American Idol season 2 along with 100,000 other hopefuls and was voted 5th in the country.
Shortly after Idol, Trenyce was introduced to acting by playing the lead in the E Lynn Harris book turned stage play, “Not A Day Goes By” starring Emmy Award winning actress, Jackee Harry.
Recently Trenyce finally dropped new music recently. A new single entitled “In the End, Alright.”
Trenyce says of the song; “During these very raw times, I have had every emotion dripping from my brow. I wasn’t sure it was safe to feel defeated or uneasy when I knew that other people were clearly experiencing worse conditions than I.”
“Somehow, we are conditioned not to “feel” every emotion as it come up, but to digest portions of yourself and discard the parts of you that seem to say you’re feeling sorry for yourself. In actuality, we are all dealing with the COVID crisis, racial injustices, trans issues, social and economic decline as best as we can. I remember thinking in the beginning that I wasn’t doing “enough” to assist. Feeling as if my thoughts and posts were not enough to make a dent in the seemingly, non-redemptive evil that had permeated the red, white and blue veins of many.”
Trenyce continues with, “We appeared to be drowning, and in most ways have stopped kicking and started to lose consciousness. I’m sure that things will probably get worse before they get better, but what I also know is that there’s a shift that’s happened. More people are opting to believe in the audacity of hope. It was this thinking that finally allowed me to see where I fit into the equation. As an artist, what we do best is create. We create a protective shield around the world so that for a short amount of time you feel seen, heard, loved, or healed and in some cases, it is not just the suspension of belief, but the feeling is a launching pad to change.”
Recently Trenyce spoke with Aries via Instagram Live. She talks about her new single “In the End, Alright,” the Pandemic and gets candid about behind the scenes treatment while doing American Idol.
