8 Questions With Trigga Don
When did you start playing music and what inspired you to give it a try?
I am one of three kids to once a single mother R.I.P. I was first inspired to sing by listening to my mother singing and humming around the house while she did certain daily tasks. Back in Trinidad, at the age of 12, my mother helped me compose my first song (Calypso) to compete in my elementary school and i took 2nd place.
Who and what inspires you the most to keep going?
The person who originally inspired me to sing reggae was Shabba Ranks, with the song “Mr. Lover Man”. From then on I’d go on to compete with other neighboring artists to see who skills is better. At the age of 16, i took my craft more seriously and began recording at numerous studios throughout NY. In practically every borough, including New Jersey. I finally found a studio engineer that I’ve been recording with for the past 5 to 6 years that goes by the name El Indio. I’ve performed at S.O.B’s amongst other venues seeking exposure. It’s been a long journey but what motivates me are my two sons, I’d like to present them a better life than I started off with. Not to mention showing them that they should never give up on their dreams.
