The German Persian singer TriXstar is most commonly known for Jamaican music like dancehall and reggae. This is a get together of cultures that you wouldn’t usually think in one, but growing up in Germany, TriXstar was able to make the positive aspects of each culture her own and get rid of the problematic ones. She had to fight for her standing in the male-dominated reggae and dancehall scene, but got out of it stronger than ever.
With her raspy voice and her deep alto timbre, TriXstar gives weight to her lyrics. Even if her music is about “seeking and finding love” on first sight, there’s much more to it when looking behind. Bob Marley sang “free yourself from mental slavery” and reminded the Jamaicans of African descent to be proud about their culture and the color of their skin and that they don’t have to bow down to society. TriXstar sings “rise up and shine” and talks to all those who feel humiliated, oppressed and abused and encourages them to get rid of the shackles and grow beyond themselves. She especially addresses women, to strengthen them escape gender-specific roles, become a strong member of society and live to their full potential.
TriXstar’s music is catchy and touching. Her songs often invite to dance and take the listener on a journey to a world of love, pain, happiness, and desires. Even if most of TriXstar’s songs are from the reggae and dancehall spectrum, she is not shy to leave the boundaries of the genre and go way beyond them. The core and the strength of all songs is a vulnerable soul trying to heal itself and the people around it and therefore gives strength, power, and courage.
Over the past 10 years her mission brought her to many European countries and to Jamaica, where her music got great resonance. In 2020 her music became available on CD for the first with with the release of her “#TrixStylez” samper. After five weeks of touring Jamaica, the rest of the release tour had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. In her forthcoming EP “Dear 2020” (release: 28.05.2021) she reflects about the past year in her very own way, and on the rare live event these days you can already get a glimpse of her new performance, that captivates the listeners and converts them to immediate fans.
