SIMPLY SIX: Trina Elle

Trina is a singer from Canada.

1. For many artists, they cite a defining moment for themselves when they knew they wanted to be a singer. For many it was the appearance of Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, to another generation it was the Beatles’ appearance on Sullivan half a decade later. Is there such a defining moment for you?

Id have to say when people would hear me sing my songs and to hear that they enjoyed it every time, i felt like thats what i wanted to do, i wana make everyone hear me, just to hear My reality!!

2. When you’re not creating music what are you listening to? Who are some of your favorites?

U know i like a bit of everything but i must say i have a strong liking to reggae and im addicted to Akon!!

3. What would you say is your greatest moment so far as an artist, either on record or live?

U see all my music is personal experiences, so one of my songs that we had just finished, a few days later i took a break and then listened to it again, and it made me cry! can u believe that?! i was i shock! i got to myself LOL

4. Do you believe music can change the world or is just something to listen to? How much can music influence current events?

Oh my godness, i believe music can have a great influence, maybe not change the world though...i know its been said many times now but look at what Michael Jackson left behind... hes got people gathering dancing in metro stations, streets, schools...its crazy, that is literally music bringing people together, influencing harmony together!

5. How has technology affected the music industry? How has technology affected your career as a musician?

Well u see i pretty much dont know anything else, its been quite technical since i've begun, but i can see how live music is slowly being tossed aside. well in my genre of music...i dont know the last wedding i went to where there was a band playing! its all dj's! thats just an example of what ive noticed on a small scale.

6. Now for my Barbara Walters question: If you were a pair of shoes what type of shoes would you be?

Hot pink 5" stiletto heals!! : )
