Hope, joy, and love are some of the words used the describe the goals that singer-songwriter Trella has in every song she writes. Music has always had an influence in Trella's life. At a very young age, she found her escape from reality in listening to music. The hardships she faced growing up laid the foundation in her future as a musician.

The name meaning behind Trella is derived from the Spanish language meaning "star." Just as a star shines hope, she has taken all the parts of her life to create a mission in music to inspire others. Songs like "Retreat" and "Crash" come from the heart. The meanings of each song are different, but after listening to "Retreat" for the first time on Nashville's Lighting 100, I knew I had to hear the story behind the music.

Trella began her life and career in Florida. She went to Florida State University while working hard on writing songs. Once she released some of her music, she saw the fruit of her labor, as many people felt her passion, pain, and love in every lyric.

When Trella moved to Nashville after college, she did not expect that her songs would catch on so quickly in such an overly saturated market. Lighting 100's Dan Buckley picked "Retreat" to be on heavy rotation, Relevant Magazine featured a short segment on her in their online blog featuring her song "Crash," and she has been taking off on Spotify reaching almost 1,000,000 total plays on three songs.

Trella says, "Spreading hope through melody and lyric is my passion. Also, groovin', dancin', and having fun" ignites inspiration for many listeners. It is funny how when those who are closest to us can hurt us so easily. What we do with our suffering is another story. Most people would hide in a corner somewhere, but Trella created something that not only resonates with her own experiences, but to the hundreds of thousands of plays on her songs.

In conclusion, this Florida native has taken her story and transformed it into something extraordinary. Take a minute to appreciate every word in her music. Trella has an EP to come soon so be sure to keep up with her social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) for more information, news, and music!
