An Evening with Trina Broussard: Infused Inspirations
When Trina Broussard sings, time seems to slow down. Her voice — rich, soulful, and effortlessly pure — carries both power and vulnerability, drawing audiences into every note. For Broussard, that unmistakable sound first caught national attention with her stunning rendition of Minnie Riperton’s “Inside My Love” on the 1997 Love Jones soundtrack. The performance became her defining moment, introducing her as one of the most authentic and emotionally resonant voices in modern soul.
Born in Houston, Texas, Trina was raised in a home filled with music. Her mother was a soul singer, her father a jazz musician — and together, they inspired her deep connection to sound and storytelling. Influenced by legends like Aretha Franklin and The Emotions, she began singing at a young age, refining the vocal control and emotional expression that would later define her artistry.
That early passion led her to an extraordinary career. As a vocalist and songwriter, Trina has collaborated with some of the biggest names in R&B, pop, and gospel — including Patti Austin, Jennifer Holliday, Raphael Saadiq, BeBe & CeCe Winans, Bobby Brown, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Rahsaan Patterson, Joi, and Kenny Lattimore. She also recorded vocals on tracks for Usher, Jay-Z, Jeezy, and contributed to Toni Braxton’s classic “Love Should’ve Brought You Home” from the Boomerang soundtrack.
Her songwriting talent shines just as brightly — she co-wrote “Here We Go Again” for Aretha Franklin’s 1998 album A Rose Is Still a Rose, fulfilling a dream to work with one of her greatest influences.
As a solo artist, Broussard’s projects — including her debut single “Love You So Much” (So So Def Records), her Inside My Love album, and her Motown release Same Girl — established her as a key voice in the neo-soul era. Her music blends heartfelt emotion, timeless groove, and lyrical honesty in a way that feels both classic and contemporary.
After a reflective pause from the industry, Trina returned refreshed and re-inspired, releasing “Adieu” and “Where I’m Supposed to Be” through her partnership with R&B Moguls. Both songs reaffirm her gift for crafting deeply personal, soul-stirring music that connects across generations.
On stage, Trina Broussard is magnetic. Her performances are not just concerts — they’re experiences. Each song feels like a conversation, an invitation into her world. Whether she’s delivering a whisper-soft ballad or soaring through a soulful groove, her authenticity and warmth make every listener feel seen and included.
Currently working on her next recording project, Trina continues to evolve as an artist while staying true to her roots — a reflection of the same spirit that has guided her from the very beginning.
Tonight, as you listen, prepare to be moved by a voice that doesn’t just sing — it tells stories, evokes memories, and reminds us why soul music endures.
