The band name "Trella;" Spanish for "star," was chosen without much thought, though the mental revelation came much later.

Starting out proper in early 2007, drummer/vocalist Safith Mohanan, guitarists Nicholas Bong and Joey Peng started working with vocalist Zachary Poh and bassist Leon Wan. As a result of their wide spectrum of influences, Trella’s sonic boundaries were constantly being stretched as they explore music further.

Trella’s music has been evolving and developing since day one, truly a case of ‘change being the only constant.’ It’s not the specific change that matters though, but rather, the reason behind the change, and the growth that took place in the process. Being a young band, it’s all about learning, creating, learning, amending, and creating again. And it never stops. It's like writing a novel without an ending, but staying true to the point behind the story.

It's not always easy to stick to your story, though. Guidance is necessary. A star, or "Trella," is exactly that. But instead of simply looking for external sources of guidance, we also look within. And we ask you to do the same.

Be the stars that dot your own night sky.

Cheers,
everyone at Trella.
