Born in 1971 and named Trevor Nash Thomson after the musical great, Graham Nash, Trevor’s name seemed to predict his destiny. Trevor attributes his keen ear for vocal harmonies to the music his mother listened to when he was a child—Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac.
As a teenager Trevor excelled at the guitar and, after joining a school choir, was quickly discovered as having exceptional vocal ability. After high school, Trevor pursued a degree in music and worked part-time as a worship leader at his church. In 1999, Trevor gained national recognition with the release of In This Place, an album of original music. He then began performing at events all over the United States. His sophomore album, Before You, followed in 2000.
The release of Trevor’s third album, Eyes to You, marks a significant advance in a career that began over 12 years ago in Southern California. A Los Angeles native, Trevor has a special partiality for the L.A. music sound. When he began the project, he raised his own musical bar and pushed himself to create an album where rock music would blend seamlessly with passionate Christianity.
He went back to his musical roots and the end result exceeded all of his expectations. The sound of the album is a synthesis of guitar-driven melodies, tasty percussion, and Trevor’s smooth and unmistakable vocals. Trevor is influenced by many artists including Michael Penn, Aimee Mann, The Wallflowers, Delirious?, Elvis Costello, and Oasis. His fusion of classic rock, pop and alternative music appeals to fans of all ages.
Trevor believes he has a very simple mission—to lead people to the heart of God through the prayer of music. He seeks to accomplish this by performing live around the country at parishes, conferences and youth events. In the summer of 2004, Trevor opened his own recording studio, Sound Pub Studios. While he works with many artists in the music industry, he takes a special interest in developing up-and-coming contemporary Christian songwriters.
Trevor lives in Glendora, California, with his wife, Victoria, and their four children.
amazingly beautiful music| Posted June 30, 2009
I first heard of Trevor's music at Mass at my university, Loyola Marymount University. His songs, "Here in this Place," and "We Belong to You" are continuously used and it has become two of my favorite songs to hear and sing at church. I will never get tired of these pieces because the lyrics and melody are so true and touching!
