Meet Trevor Payne, also known as BLAAQGOLD, a dope musician hailing from Detroit, Michigan, with over a decade of experience in the music game. Blaaq's passion for crafting beats spans across genres like Hip Hop, Dance, R&B, and Experimental, creating a sound uniquely his own. In his journey, Trevor has been fortunate to partner with cool brands like Native lnstruments, Hypebeast, Spotify, Netflix and more. But despite these dope opportunities, he stays true to his roots, keeping his feet firmly on the ground. Collaborating with artists like Amp Fiddler, Little Brother, Lyric Jones, Musiq Soulchild, and T3 of Slum Village has been nothing short of a dream come true for Trevor. He's grateful for every chance to vibe and create with such talented folks. When he's not in the studio, you'l likely catch Blaaq with Little Brother on the Road as their tour DJor back in Detroit spinning joints at spots like Spotlite Detroit, Deluxx Fluxx, or Shinola Hotel. These gigs aren't just about playing music they're about connecting with the community and spreading good music.​
