We decided to catch up with Tristian for a brief interview to discuss to the man behind the music..
What inspired you to get into music?
I come from a very musical family so it’s always been in my blood. My inspirations growing up were Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake.
How would you describe your music?
My music has a very unique sound and has evolved over time. Although I have dabbled in Pop/RnB and EDM, I would say that my current music is taking more of a country/pop direction with soulful undertones.
What would you say is your recording and song writing style?
I love to hear a either a basic chord structure or a fully produced beat which inspires me to feel a certain emotion. Once I catch that emotion I then come up with a top line and write out the lyrics. Doing co-writes and collaborations are my favorite because you are stuck in tunnel vision with your own thoughts, but instead you get to feed off the other person and share ideas.
Where would you like to see your music career in 5 years time?
In 5 years I would like to have released two albums, music charting on billboard, had my music in a few movie soundtracks, and had my first national tour or world tour. A grammy or two would be awesome as well!
Where can music fans listen your music?
Best place to go to find all my music, videos, and social media handles is my website which is www.tristancolemusic.com
