Blues, gospel, funk, folk and soul - music that speaks from the heart, to
the heart. These are the styles Trevor grew up on, raised in a musical
family and taught piano by his mother at the age of 5. He picked up
the guitar at 8, and since then has grown to love the guitar sounds of
BB King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Jimmie Vaughan and T-Bone
Walker, the soulful vocals of Otis Redding, The Holmes Brothers and Al
Green, the funky grooves of The Meters and James Brown, and the
songs of James Taylor, Keb' Mo' and Kris Kristofferson.

Currently based in Perth, Western Australia, Trevor, 27, has been
full-time musician for 5 years, fronting the Perth-born,
Singapore-based

Blues Challenge and BB King's Club (Memphis, USA)
, Buddy Guy's
Legends (Chicago, USA), Byron Bay Blues & Roots Music Festival (NSW,
Australia), No Black Tie (KL, Malaysia)
as well as Blues at Bridgetown
and the Perth Blues Club in Western Australia. Other career highlights
include jamming with Robben Ford (Singapore, 2004), The Holmes
Brothers (UbluesFest 2002) and with the
Enrico Crivellaro Trio, (feat.
