She has been flying under the radar, patiently working on her craft. Now, the multi-talented Toronto-based powerhouse of soul known simply as TRISH is ready for prime-time. Those in the know on the local scene have long recognised her talent. Now, with a debut mini-album being prepared for release, a much wider audience is about to be exposed to the seductive charms of Trish.
Trish has been collaborating with teams of top producers and writers eager to work with her,
Trish's current priority is completing the recording of her keenly-anticipated new mini-album. Look for a new and deeply soul-searching approach on these tracks and those that will surface on a subsequent full album. "On a creative level where I am now is more personal,"
Pinning down the eclectic (and electric) sound of Trish is one tricky task. Such earlier tracks as "Don't Watch Me," "Mannequin" and "Bump" - created major interest online, and they showcased a style that fused her powerful vocals with adventurous hip-hop meets dance music beats and production. Eye-catching and steamy videos helped spread the word, and "Bump" notched over 200,000 plays on YouTube. "Those tracks touched the dance community Trish recalls. "As someone who loves to dance, getting that community to embrace me was such an honour."
Look for a more organic and r 'n b-flavoured style for Trish's new material, with her preferred phrase being electro-soul. "I believe these new songs are a level up, both with my lyrics and my singing," says Trish.
The free-wheeling stylistic diversity of Trish's music comes naturally. Growing up in a musical household, she was primarily exposed to the sounds of rock and reggae, the two styles favoured by her father, famed guitarist Tony Campbell.
Trish has developed a sense of style and controlled vocal power and has overcome initial shyness to blossom into a charismatic and confident performer.
She credits going to modelling school as a key step in boosting her comfort level onstage. After graduating, she signed to a modelling agency did runway and magazine work .
Given her stunning beauty, a lucrative modelling career beckoned, but Trish's focus has always remained firmly on music.
In her own words, she has been "finding my voice as an artist. I've backed other artists, done covers, worked with my own band, worked on original songs, built songs with other writers and producers, and put a demo together. It has all been an interesting journey, and I feel I'm just getting started!"
Her long apprenticeship included frequent stints in Detroit , working with the likes of Woodtown and Rich Boy Records, and in Toronto, with noted creative director Luther Brown.
Trish also frequently gigged in Detroit and Toledo Ohio, singing back-up and taking some leads in the band led by her father Tony Campbell.
She began working on records with her father in her early teens, and was a part of a girl vocal group in high school. They sang at school talent showcases at Oakwood Collegiate Institute experiences that helped boost her confidence as a performer. Another turning point came when she played a key character in a hiphop musical, DA Real Deal. It had a successful run at The Young People's Theatre, earning Trish and her cast the title of Young Professionals at 18. "I also had the opportunity to write material for the play, and that meant a lot," she says.
She then paid dues on the Toronto club circuit in The Dream Band, a group formed with her father that gigged at such notable venues as Lava Lounge and The El Mocambo. With her own band, Trish also had a regular residency at Toronto Coronation Billiards.
A diverse list of show highlights since then includes multiple appearances at famed Toronto talent showcase Honey Jam, the Manifesto Festival, an opening slot for soul legend Thelma Houston at The Palais Royale, and appearances at The Monsters of HipHop showcase in Florida and the Choreographers' Ball in LA and New York. Trish opened for Danny Fernandez, Karl Wof and Flo rida on a mini Canadian tour in 2009, and supported Bobby Valentino and Rick Ross at The Hershey Centre in 2009.
The unstoppable combination of natural talent, commitment, and years of hard work is about to pay off for Trish. "I'm ready for it," she declares, with well-earned confidence. Get ready to welcome this vibrant new star.
