Treldon Layne is 43 years of age and is a resident of Freeport, Central Trinidad. He has always displayed a passion for motivational speaking and inspiring others. Treldon believes the world today can be a negative place, and motivation is needed now more than ever, especially for the new generation. He also enjoys writing motivational quotes, and he is the founder of Treldon's Greetings, a unique greeting line that was created with the intention to inspire individuals.
He has written two books of poetry entitled “They Stole It, I Must Replace It” and “Rise Up and Bolt Forward.” The National Registry of Cultural Workers has recognized Treldon as an artiste in the field of poetry. He was mentored by the renowned Ms. Renee Cummings, through The Ministry of Arts and Multiculturalism. The famous Kenny Philips taught Treldon recording engineering and he has had over 200 contact hours.
The gift of songwriting comes naturally to Treldon, and he was able to hone his skills under the tutelage of Dr. Winsford Devine, who has written songs for famous artistes such as The Mighty Sparrow, Baron, and Machel Montano. On completing a mentoring course with Dr. Devine, his advice to Treldon was to find a singer to launch his composed song, and work together to become known in the public. Treldon heeded this advice and eventually sought out upcoming singer K. Prince, who became his first client, and after that, he ventured into the field of managing artistes.
Currently, Treldon is the writer of a motivational column for the Guardian Newspaper, and has been approached by a popular radio station to produce a Motivational Minute segment. With his company Treldon Layne Management Group, he hopes to manage more artistes and to continue inspiring persons to become happy in their daily lives.
