Trey Lorenz
Encyclopedia : T : TR : TRE : Trey Lorenz
Trey Lorenz (born January 19, 1969 in Florence, South Carolina) is an African American singer and songwriter.
Lorenz began his career supporting singer Mariah Carey on her first promotional tour in 1990, and the following year he provided background vocals on her album Emotions. Lorenz again served as Carey's backing singer on her 1992 appearance on the television show MTV Unplugged, where he and Carey sang a cover of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" (1970). Their performance was released as a single that went to number one in the United States.
Lorenz was subsequently offered a record deal and recorded a critically successful self-titled debut album. The single "Someone to Hold" (co-written and co-produced by Carey) peaked at number nineteen on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The album itself, however, performed poorly and only peaked at #111 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and Lorenz was dropped by his label.
Lorenz returned to a career in background vocals, working for artists such as TLC, the late Selena, and Usher. He began to support Mariah Carey on her albums and concert tours again in 1997, and he recorded the song "Make You Happy" for the soundtrack to the film Men in Black, which he co-wrote with Carey and Cory Rooney. He was also signed to Carey's short-lived imprint label, MonarC.
