Seventeen-year-old Trevante Halliburton is no stranger to the hard work demanded of him by the notoriously competitive music industry. While most teenage boys were worried about grades and girls, Trevante was perfecting his craft on the road to stardom.
His journey began in 2005 with a 2500 mile drive from Houston, TX to Atlanta, GA. Looking to take advantage of the opportunities of the thriving music industry in Atlanta, his family established Selsum Records, a family owned record label where Trevante released his first two singles, “That Girl” and “Baby Girl” which were written and produced by his father Joe “Simply” Halliburton.
Soon after the release, he secured a distribution deal with FYE and embarked on a regional in-store tour of the South to promote the records and build his fan base. The FYE tour as well as radio airplay opened the door for future tours as Trevante began an aggressive schedule performing with artists such as Bow Wow, Keke Palmer, B5, and Nick Cannon. Trevante used this time to grow as a performer and let his talents demonstrate how incredibly gifted he was as an artist. “I love performing. I feel like I can just be myself. It doesn’t matter if I’ve had a bad day or whatever is, I can be myself and just let go,” says Trevante. “I love it. It’s the best feeling in the world next to recording.”
