TRINISHA BROWNE
Trinidadian-born and Montreal-based singer, rapper, and songwriter, Trinisha Browne grew up in a household of Reggae, Gospel, Hip-Hop, and 90s R&B—all of which influenced and still flavor her recordings today, just like her experience growing up singing in the church choir. Her love for music, visual art, and poetry led Browne to explore various artistic opportunities in the city she adopted 20 years ago. That city, she says, has inspired her writing since her recording debut in 2016. Trinisha Browne released 5 EP’s independently between 2016 and 2021 and Montreal’s vibrant cultural nightlife has been a high source of inspiration. She names the Kalmunity open mic events as an incubator. Her writing has also been inspired by the people she met: ex-girlfriends, friends and ex-friends. Another aspect of Montreal that inspired this Caribbean expat is… winter!
In 2016 Trinisha released her first independent EP, ‘Free-write’, which received a feature in influent VOIR cultural magazine. The following year, she released her second EP, ‘Thought You Should Know’, which caught the attention of VICE Quebec, resulting in an interview. In December 2017 she was picked as the opening act for Azealia Banks at L’Olympia in Montreal. After playing several live shows around Montreal and focusing on developing and growing her original sound, Trinisha signed a recording and publishing deal with industry veteran Domnique Zgarka’s Frostbye Media Ltd.
Her debut album, Rhythm & Love, released March 22, 2024. The album features 10 tracks of sultry, groovy music backed by heart-felt lyrics. Love, broken love, longing, mental illness and the struggles of an artist trying to make ends meet while crafting her art.
She recently left Dominique’s label now and is now signed to her own label Browne Records / Virgin Music Africa /Universal Music Africa.
