UpSyde is a Pop/R&B vocal trio based in Los Angeles, CA. Trishelle, Trayci and Angela Marie have been performing and touring internationally and nationally since 1997.
Trishelle - Born in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin spent the first years of her life traveling with her dad, mom and older siblings ministering through music across the country. At the age of two (seriously) she picked up her first microphone and began singing. It is safe to say that she hasn't stopped since. Trishelle began leading worship at the age of 12. She plays the piano and has written dozens of praise and worship songs. To her credit she has traveled the globe and has assisted in several praise & Worship conferences and workshops. Trishelle is the worship pastor of Destiny Worship Center where she and her husband are the senior pastors.
Trayci was born a military brat and a pastor’s kid. She was trained in ministry at an early age by her parents and preaching by 16. However her true passion would be music. Trayci and her older brother would write arrange and perform songs for the family or whoever would listen. She plays an active role in the women’s ministry at her home church Destiny Worship Center, and is an active member of the praise & Worship team.
Angela Marie was born in Compton, CA. She is the third of four children. Unlike her band mates she was not raised in a Christian home, but had a very strict catholic up bringing. She was a closet singer and writer until the age of 17 when she could no longer ignore her passion and love for music. Angela is the youth pastor of Breakout Generation Youth church; the youth ministry of Destiny Worship Center. This was only the beginning of the journey that would lead to the trio crossing paths and colliding with destiny and purpose.
In 1995 UpSyde was born. It wasn’t until moving to Washington State in 1997 they were able to fulfill their dreams of recording their first project together. With the help and aggressive support of their SR. Pastor Lonny Bingle UpSyde recorded and released their self titled debut CD. Their Pastor gave them the push, support and momentum they needed to fulfill the call of God to music ministry. UpSyde continues to write, sing, and record and minister life changing music.
They have released a total of three CD's. In 1998 their debut self titled release sold out in the first week due to the high demand for the recording from faithful fans and partners. The girls wasted no time getting back into the studio to begin working on a follow up album "Turned On" which was released the following year in the summer of 1999 to rave reviews from their listening audience.
As the Turned on tour came to its end the group took some much needed time off to plan and focus on the direction of the group. In the summer of 2002 they began writing, composing and arranging songs for their third CD. The result would be... "True". The time away was well worth it for the group. Every song and melody perfectly narrates the journey of three captivating, inspiring, and talented young ladies that have evolved in their craft and ability to influence through music.
