Early years
Trevor Guthrie was born in North Vancouver, British Columbia. At age 3, he was playing the piano. He played his first concert at age 4. In high school at Argyle Secondary School, he began playing the guitar and writing music. He can also speak French, Spanish, Russian, German, Mandarin, and Japanese.[citation needed]
Music career
1993–2005: soulDecision
After a name change and a new record company, MCA, the pop group in which Guthrie was lead, Indecision (as they were named from 1993 to 1998) emerged as soulDecision in 1999 and released the single "Faded" in 2000 under their new moniker. The song became a #1 hit in Canada and a top 25 hit in the United States. The success of that single was followed by the smash hit "Ooh It's Kinda Crazy". The album No One Does It Better, which was recorded in Velvet Sound Studios in Sydney, Australia, went on to sell over a million copies. After a four-year hiatus and a label change, soulDecision released the single "Cadillac Dress". The single was a moderate radio hit. They released their second album Shady Satin Drug in November 2004. Due to a lack of support from the Canadian music industry, less than 2000 copies were printed and available for sale. Shady Satin Drug, however, spawned two more singles, "Hypnotize" and "Kiss the Walls".[1]
2008–present: Solo career
In 2015, Guthrie released a song titled "Strong Hands", inspired by stories of World War II veterans. He is featured on Markus Schulz's track "Until It's Gone" (2012), Armin van Buuren's track "This Is What It Feels Like" (2013), R3hab's track "Soundwave" (2014), Alan Walker's track "Do It All for You" (2018), and Brennan Heart's hardstyle track "Won't Hold Me Down (Gravity)" (2018).
