Today we’d like to introduce you to Trvp Shawn.
Trvp Shawn, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I was born in Riverdale but I was raised in College Park, Old national to be exact. I started rapping at the age of 13 and started making beats at 15. Music has always been in my blood. My dad used to be a singer but he decided to pursue sports instead, my grandma sings in her church choir, and ALL of my cousins rap or make beats. Coming up and seeing all that creativity makes you want to indulge in it yourself. I recorded my first song in my big cousin’s living room. Soon after that, I built my own studio in my parent’s apartment. I didn’t have anything flashy, just an Xbox microphone, an old laptop, headphones, and fl studio. I used to sit at my computer all day just making song after song.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Nah, it hasn’t been a smooth road. A lot of trial and error, hard work, and dedication got me to where I am. The hardest struggle is always mentally. It’s hard when you’re not seeing any progress. You tend to wonder, “Why am I still going.”
Alright – so let’s talk about your work.
I rap, make beats, and engineer.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
Shout out to Richy. Richy. is not only my go-to producer but also my brother. Shouts out to Jon he’s my photographer and also my big brother. Also, shouts out to slick, without him, I don’t know where I would be right. I also can’t leave out mom dukes. I know she’ll do anything for me.
