Trinity Dawson is a spiritually-centered and socially-conscious artist who aspires to encourage people through song, and to please God in the process. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Trinity grew up in church, and comes from a family with a rich spiritual heritage of ministers, musicians and singers. Although born in Tulsa, Trinity spent his formative years in Detroit, where he built a strong spiritual foundation as he discovered God to be a Provider, Protector and Source of Purpose. Upon this foundation he dedicated his life to Christ, as his pursuit to discover and fulfill that plan began.
Trinity’s quest for God’s purpose has taken him down different roads. Initially he believed God was leading him to professional football, but a hip injury Trinity suffered his junior year in college proved degenerative, and despite ending his career ranking 3rd in the school’s history for rushing yards, the doors to the NFL were shut. When the door to football closed, the door to a prominent business career opened. It was during this period that Trinity began to write songs; however, he did not consider it a pathway to purpose. Trinity excelled in business, and continued to pursue the fulfillment of God’s purpose for his life.
His pursuit led to the creation of his current album, “With All I Am.” After he and his wife experienced personal tragedy in 2012, Trinity sought answers and guidance from God in dealing with the pain in his heart. God brought Trinity to the parable of the servants with the talents; it was then he realized that he had not fully surrendered his talents to the Lord. Again he sensed his pathway to purpose transitioning, this time into a realm he had often been insecure about…music. As Trinity surrendered his talents, God began to give him a level of creativity that he had never tapped into before and songs began to pour from his soul, as he cried out to God.
The result was more than the creation of original songs, but the musical expression of prayers recounting the commitment Trinity made to surrender to God. His most personal song, “Just Be With Me,” reflects Trinity’s posture of surrender as he recognized that he could not pursue his purpose without God being with him. Songs of thanksgiving and praise like “I’m Grateful” and “You’re All I Need” also poured forth through this experience. Trinity has learned through the process that “purpose is not about what you do…purpose is about who you become. Once you ‘become’ you’ll naturally ‘do.’” Trinity is becoming who God called him to be; as a result, he is now doing greater works than he ever dreamed.
Trinity Dawson’s hope for his album is to encourage people as they continue their pursuit toward purpose. He believes “that living a purpose driven life will give you a level of fulfillment and joy that can only come from becoming who God created you to be.” Ultimately, his prayer is that people will be able to say, like he does in his title track, “With all that I am, with all that I have, with all that I do, may it please You.”
In 2015, Dawson celebrated a hit debut across multiple Billboard charts with his freshman album "With All I Am." The debut project landed at #4 on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart, Top 25 on Billboard's Top Christian & Gospel Albums chart, and across genres on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart in the Top 50.
