By age 12, Trestee was already writing songs, performing, and uplifting friends with his unique voice and rhythm. His talent matured during his time at Queen of Apostles Seminary, where his study of literature deepened his creativity and lyrical expression.

“Everything is possible to the one who believes.” – Mark 9:23
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” – Matthew 5:14
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13

Trestee is a living testimony that the impossible can become possible. “We can achieve it all,” he says. “Just follow my lead.”
