We were lucky to catch up with Traliece recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Traliece, thanks for joining us today. Can you tell us the backstory behind how you came up with the idea?

I started playing in various orchestras since I was a child but, in the last few years decided to venture out as a singer and violinist and I started promoting my music and craft on social media.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I had my start as a violinist at a very young age with an eclectic background of classical, pop, and jazz, along with playing with the New Orleans Youth Symphony Orchestra throughout the city of New Orleans with local artists.

From there I went on to appear in many performances with the Red River Valley Symphony Orchestra in Virginia as well as the Mesquite Symphony Orchestra where I had the privilege of appearing on a live album with Brave Combo, Symphonic Polka (2009), which won a Grammy.

I also played in a variety of settings nationally between symphonic groups, private events, and worship teams.

Since 2018, I have also been featured on various indie recording artists projects along with releasing a few singles of my own. I’m currently in the recording studio working on her next project.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

One major obstacle was dealing with my mental health issues of depression and suicidal ideation. This was due to dealing with low self-esteem, low self-worth and not being able to love myself. As a result of this, I would purposely not share my music with anyone because I thought I was good enough and that I can never be enough.

My lowest point was when I ended up having a nervous breakdown and spent years getting treatment but, also finding God in the process.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

Yes, absolutely. I believe I have a gift that I am to share with many people as possible while sharing the message about love, healing, and resilience from a spiritual perspective.
