Tunes With Trent

Acoustic/Covers/Easy Listening Solo

Born in Cairns, Queensland in 1984, Trent Stievano's career as a musician started at a very young age. Trent was not from a very musical family; however, this did not stop him from taking on new challenges, beginning his musical interest with vocals at an age of 7. Performing at the old city place sound shell, singing hits from 'phantom of the opera' to modern songs from 'Peter Andre', Trent knew that music was his passion.

With increasing interest in all genres of music, Trent began to learn saxophone and drums at 11yrs old, joining the school orchestra, jazz and rock bands. However, his love for singing made he rethink his choice of saxophone and at age 13, Trent swapped his reeds for strings, becoming obsessed with guitar.

From this point onwards, Trent was able to fine tune his talents as a singer and guitarist and began writing songs during his high school years. Playing at talent quests in Cairns, and around Far North Queensland, his love for music blossomed.

After finishing high school with honours in academia and music, Trent embarked into bigger things, playing at university functions, weddings, restaurants, pubs and parties.

The phenomenon of Australian Idol also intrigued Trent, trying out for the Cairns auditions, and became a top 6 finalist for Cairns.
