The son of a pastor who was raised
in the church with his seven siblings,
Trent the Hooligan became
accustomed to a nomadic and
judgmental lifestyle early in life. Born
in Atlanta, with a stop in Orlando,
Florida before eventually relocating
and settling in Wilmington, NC at the
age of 15, he is no stranger to
assumptions and misconceptions.
“When you’re from the South, people
will think you’re stupid, that we talk
slow”, Trent says.
While Trent does speak with an
unmistakable accent and grew
up listening to Christian rock and
other worship music, looking at
him, you wouldn’t realize that he
can rap circles around seasoned
veterans; turning all the disparate
experiences of his 25-years
on this earth into music that’s as
thoughtful as it is hard. Working in
the tradition of Outkast, Goodie
Mob, and UGK, Trent the Hooligan
is living proof that the South still
has a lot to say!
