Eighteen-year-old
Trey Wilson comes straight out of South Texas. His signature voice is
the product of years spent listening to Texas country music artists such
as the legendary George Strait, Radney Foster and Pat Green. Trey has
performed his way across the Lone Star State, Florida, Tennessee, and
Georgia.
At the age of 14, Trey began honing his stage performances at country
music shows across Texas. He has also won numerous area, state and even
national talent competitions with his traditional Texas-style
performances.
The Uvalde native knew early on that music would be a big part of his
life. From his first public performance, at the age of six when he sang
Hank Williams’ “Your Cheating Heart,” Trey knew he wanted to sing
country music.
Trey found that he not only enjoyed live performance; the recording
studio also fascinated him.
"I was eleven years old the first time I recorded in a studio," says
Trey. "I loved it!"
In December 2004, Trey started working on his debut album “Let’s Just
Dance,” which is a blend of pure traditional country music, western
swing and new original music. Trey's involvement in all aspects of
creating the album created a collection of songs that reflected his
unique style.
Two years after its release, "Let's Just Dance" is still getting air
play on AM/FM and Internet stations throughout the United States,
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, England, France, and the Netherlands.
With one album already under his belt, Trey is planning his next
recording project, to be recorded in Nashville.
Although the young Texas artist knows the road ahead won't be easy, he's
in it for the long haul.
"There are a million musicians out there, who want to make it as a
country music artist," says Trey. "And I know there's a small 'window of
opportunity' for an artist to achieve success. But an early start and a
lot of hard work will hopefully pay off . A vocal instructor once told
me something I always remember. He said, 'An amateur artist works until
he gets it right. A professional artist works until he never gets it
wrong.' I plan on 'never getting it wrong.' "
Being in the right place at the right time has provided Trey
opportunities to meet people in the country music business.
"I've been really lucky. I have already had so many people in the music
business help me, from Texas songwriters to Nashville producers," added
Trey. "I've been amazed at how helpful people in the music business have
been."
Where ever you catch one of Trey’s performances, you’ll find that the
musician’s stage presence shines through. Music critics have said Trey
was “born to be on stage.”
Trey has had same stage performances with: Ray Price, Hank Thompson,
Darrell McCall, “Fiddlin” Frenchie Burke, Leona Williams, Bobby Flores,
Noel Haggard, Matt Jenkins, Ronnie Huckaby, Gene Watson, Moe Bandy,
Johnny Bush and more to come!
In the fall 2008, Trey will be attending Nashville’s Belmont University,
where he will pursue a Music Business Degree.
