Trevor Young: 225 Live Events Interview<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThings You Can\u2019t Control\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

For many of us, this would describe much of the last the last couple of years, especially as it relates to the live music scene.<\/p>\n

For this gifted musician, \u201cThings You Can\u2019t Control\u201d will always be his favorite song on the SOJA album Beauty In The Silence.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Since the age of ten, Trevor Young has been living every aspect of the world prolific. \u00a0After touring the world with two Grammy nominations under his belt, his creativity knows no bounds.<\/p>\n

During our interview with Young, he told us \u201cThings You Can\u2019t Control\u201d is his favorite song because it was the first time, he had a song where he was the sole singer on a SOJA record. \u00a0His road to success, however, may have been one of the things he could not control.<\/p>\n

Initially introduced to the reggae musical stylings of Bob Marley at a very young age, Trevor\u2019s main interest was encouraged from bands such as 311, Sublime and coincidently SOJA. Eric Clapton, Tom Morellow and Jimi Hendrix were also big influencers as a young guitarist and singer. \u00a0As his electric guitar talents continued to develop, Young also became familiar with the piano and drums, as well as several other stringed instruments.<\/p>\n

In his hometown of Delaware, Young had formed the band Chowderfoot, a very well-known band he had stayed with throughout high school and college. \u00a0With hopes of making it big, they hit the road and moved to the live music capital of the world, Austin, TX. \u00a0This is when \u201ceverything fell through\u201d for the band Chowderfoot, Young tells us.<\/p>\n

Back to life in Delaware, Young attended a SOJA performance in Ocean City, MD to try and ask for a job. Young tells us, \u201cI saw the lead singer pre-show and asked him who changes his guitar strings? \u00a0He said he did, I went on to explain to him that I grew up working in a music store and I knew how to work on everyone in the band’s gear. \u00a0Before they went on stage, he told me that the band had a meeting about me and wanted me to meet with them after the show. \u00a0I did and spoke mostly with the percussionist who also was kind of the production guy. \u00a0He explained they had a big tour coming up and they potentially had a bunk in the bus for me. \u00a0Took a couple of tense weeks waiting for the call confirming this, but finally it came, and I was off to Arlington VA to help the boys on their sold-out Summer tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the tour had ended, it wasn\u2019t long until his career took another turn. \u00a0The former guitar tech was now a singer, songwriter and guitarist for the band SOJA.<\/p>\n

Since then, he has played on three studio albums, one live album and one cover album. Beauty In The Silence<\/em> is the first of SOJA\u2019s albums granting Trevor Young producer credit. The album made its big debut in September of this year as the #1 Reggae Album on the Billboard charts. He has toured the world and performed with some of today\u2019s most esteemed artists in the industry, including a couple of his early childhood idols, 311 and sublime.<\/p>\n

SOJA has a couple of shows remaining for 2021, but Young tells us they have some \u201cbig things in the works for 2022 as well.\u201d They have had two Grammy nominations and he would love nothing more than to dust off his Grammy suit and have their new album finally take home the win for Best Reggae Album.<\/p>\n

As the world awaits what SOJA has in store for 2022, Trevor will continue with his venture as a solo artist performing, writing and producing. \u00a0Fortunately for us, Trevor loves the Baton Rouge music scene. \u00a0He claims it as one of the most accepting and accessible ones that he has ever lived in. \u00a0When we asked him if there was anything he would change, all he could offer was no matter how big or small, \u201cget out and see some live music.\u201d \u00a0His answer, of course, was referring to the amount of time that was once again not in any of our control. \u00a0The time spent where they were not able to perform, and people were not able to get out and see music. \u00a0\u201cWell this time is over and we wanna see more of you out at the shows.\u201d Young says.<\/p>\n

Trevor Young\u2019s musical career may not have been in his control, but he has a lot to show for it. \u00a0He now calls Baton Rouge his home and we are grateful to have him. \u00a0\u201cAll thanks to his amazing wife Allie.\u201d<\/p>\n
