Rick Trevino sings with a maturity far beyond his actual years. Raised on the legends of both traditional and contemporary country, from Haggard and Jones to Strait and Garth, and drawing on his roots as an Hispanic American, he has always been a remarkable and unique artist.
When he was barely in his 20's, he scored one of 1994's biggest hits with
the No. 1 smash, "She Can't Say I Didn't Cry" from his
self-titled, gold-selling debut. When the rollicking "Doctor Time"
followed in quick succession to the top of the charts, it was clear Rick was more than a
contender. From a burgeoning crop of new artists, country music had discovered in Rick
Trevino a lasting enduring talent.
The high expectations Rick set with his debut album were confirmed when "Bobbie Ann Mason" from his second album, "Looking For The Light," went top 10. All the while, Rick has maintained a heavy touring schedule, regularly playing major venues across America with a number of country's biggest names.
It is no overstatement when Rick reports that making "Learning
As You Go" was the experience of a
lifetime. While it maintains solid threads of continuity with its predecessors, one listen
makes it clear Rick Trevino is not an artist to stand still creatively,
or to ever settle for merely repeating himself.
"I think there's tremendous integrity in this music," states Rick. "As much success as we had with the other albums, I can't help but feel they were both leading up to this. There's a lot to be said for experience, and there was also great chemistry in the studio with the players, the producers and myself. I hear a more seasoned sound in this record – instrumentally and vocally. Everything's stepped up to a new level."
Rick, a native of Austin, Texas, approaches his music and songwriting with a studious, disciplined work ethic.
"I began piano lessons when I was five years old," says Rick,
who now plays rhythm guitar as well as keyboards. "Music and songwriting take a
certain amount of God-given talent, but after that it requires work and perseverance, the
same way I learned to play piano as a little boy. I make it a point to write every day,
and at least once a month to take an established hit songwriter on the road for a few days
to collaborate with. There's no better education than working with the masters."
Rick's music reflects an upbeat outlook on life rooted in bedrock American values. "Relationships gone bad are such an integral and authentic part of country music, I can't help but love recording some of those songs," says Rick. "Some people feel there's more inspiration in suffering than happiness but, especially at this point in my life, you're going to see me write and sing a lot more songs about the positive and inspiring sides of living. My family is what keeps me rooted in reality. That's my life and my music mirrors that."
With his optimist's outlook coupled with tender ballads ("I Only Get This Way With You," "I Wish He Wouldn't Treat Her That Way"), good-time country-rockers ("Rock City," "Serious Love") and country-to-the-core gems ("Oh Jenny," "Anytime" and "Mary's Just A Pain Jane"), it is not surprising that Rick's fans span a broad spectrum in both age and ethnicity.
