Trina's profile
"Belting out the finest sounds you heard from Baltimore..." - NYC The Deli Magazine
Baltimore’s slice of progressive soul. After investing in a handful of borrowed dreams, singer-songwriter-arranger Trina Coleman finally began the work of crafting her own songs in the summer of 2008. A stack of unheard songs soon quietly piled on the piano. Not much changed before August 2011 when an unexpected major surgery, an earthquake, and a hurricane hit within three short weeks. Trina and her husband Zac were propelled into a season of trauma that would completely erase their familiar fears, and they found themselves composing songs within a story that could no longer remain unshared.
Trina’s classical training and biracial background weave into a fresh, powerful sound. Her three-octave vocal range has been described as Regina Spektor meets India Arie. Deli Magazine highlights the vocals, writing "lead vocalist, Trina Coleman, has pipes on par with Sara Bareilles." Trina applies rich melodic lines from her classical training to a framework of jazzy/blues background tones as the vehicle to carry heartfelt lyrics which often focus on healing and reconciliation. “Cerebral, emotional, soulful… Conveying layers of feeling” – Hybrid Jazz Radio
