Biography

The idea for Trouze came about in 2014 when the trio first met at a Zedd showcase in Miami and connected artistically over their different musical backgrounds. Based across Singapore and Los Angeles, members of Trouze had very different careers before dance music.[2] Trouze's music draws influences from the group members’ varying cultural and geographical influences.[3]

In 2016, Trouze started the year featured on 'Age of Innocence' with Elephante and Damon Sharpe, a release on Armada Music that they wrote and provided vocals for.[4] The track peaked at #18 on the Billboard Dance charts and featured remixes by Hellberg, Jenaux and Crankdat.[5][6] In late 2016, they released their first standalone single "Intersection".[7] They also released "Who Am I" a collaboration with Jonathan Wong in Asia and premiered it with a performance at the Compass Awards. This cross-over track features lyrics in both English and Mandarin and is Jovany's first time singing in Mandarin.[8] "Who Am I" reached #5 on the TVB music charts in Hong Kong.[9]

Declan studied law at University College London before going into investment banking, is now also co-founder of furniture start-up Castlery.[10][11] Jovany, a New-Orleans native was a finalist on season 10 of American Idol and now a songwriter/producer with Tat.[12] Tat studied computer science at Cornell University and was a navy officer in Singapore before going into music full-time.[13]
