Born and raised in Sydney till the age of 13 before re-locating south to the boon-docks of Geelong, an hour south west of Melbourne, Trem, like most in his age bracket, gained his first look at hip hop through movies such as Beat Street and books like Subway Art in the early eighties. Instantly falling in love with the phenomenon he dabbled in floor moves before turning his hand to graff. As a founding member of the Australian leg of a worldwide graffiti crew ‘Run For Kover’, Trem managed to cause his fair share of damage before making the slow transition from paint to microphones. Rhyming over ‘pause tapes’ in and around 1989, inspired by not only his favorite U.S artists, but also local talent such as the A.K.A Brothers, Trem had built a repertoire of battle raps and was showcasing them live and on recordings by 1990. After hooking up with Dj Frenzie, he and Raise (R.F.K co-founder and his rhyming partner at the time) went from strength to strength, showcasing their skills across Melbourne, at shows and on live-to-air radio. With Raise leaving the country, Trem emerged as a solo M.C, and after hooking up with DJ Idem, initial plans were put in place for the recording and release of his first official-a six track tape. Unfortunately the tape was never completed and the one finished track ‘Arrest My Brain’ never saw the light of day. Although continuing to build ‘n’ develop skills and still regularly appearing live at shows and on radio throughout the mid nineties, it wasn’t until Trem formed an alliance with Prowla and Jase of the Nuff Said Crew, that recording would eventually begin on his first actual release. Sheer Talent, released on Unkut Recordings, an independent label formed by Trem and Rob Nat, was a limited edition, four tracks, plus instrumentals 12” that certainly showcased Trem’s lyrical ability, atop slow, bass-line heavy bangers. Closely followed by his second 12” Amateurs, that delivered more of the same. It was during this time that Trem and his team devised the ‘super-group’ Lyrical Commission, equipped with an arsenal of raps, they tore apart mic’s and stages across Australia. Not content with making his mark as top M.C, for the past 5 years Trem has also extended himself to the beat making game in a major way. After cutting his teeth as a co-producer on all of his earlier work, and being responsible for the entire L.C “The Stage Is Set” L.P, it aint hard to tell Trem feels equally at home in front of the Akai S1000 as he is in front of an SM58. His eagerly anticipated full length L.P “Without Further Ado” is at last on its way, with a release date due this year, and is guaranteed to be off the meat rack, the meat wagon, meat hook and just about every other type of cold storage method known to man.
