Trevor Lanier | Wilmington, NC A self-starter from Wilmington, North Carolina, Trevor Lanier used to beat on pots and pans as a child until his parents bought him a drum set. He played in rock, funk and metal bands before discovering his talent for MCing, and is now as comfortable double-time rapping as he is crafting melodies. When he’s not holed up in the studio recording new material, he’s exploring new places and catching flights — which happens to be where he writes most of his rhymes.
