Lorenz began his career supporting singer Mariah Carey on her first promotional tour in 1990, and the following year he provided background vocals on her album Emotions. Lorenz again served as Carey's backing singer on her 1992 appearance on the television show MTV Unplugged, where he and Carey sang a cover of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" (1970). Their performance was released as a single that went to number one in the United States.
Lorenz was subsequently offered a record deal and recorded a critically successful self-titled debut album. The single "Someone to Hold" (co-written and co-produced by Carey) peaked at number nineteen on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The album itself, however, performed poorly and only peaked at #111 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and
Lorenz was dropped by his label.
Trey returned to a career in background vocals, working for artists such as TLC, the late Selena, and Usher. He began to support Mariah Carey on her albums and concert tours again in 1997, including a featured spot in the 2003 Charmbracelet World Tour, and he recorded the songs, "Make You Happy" for the Men in Black soundtrack, which he co-wrote with Carey and Cory Rooney, and "I'm Still Not Over You" for the Money Train soundtrack. He was signed to Carey's short-lived imprint label, MonarC, and to Jermaine Dupri's Atlanta-based So So Def Records label, but never put out any music under the label.
'Trey's second album, Mr. Mista, was released on September 16, 2006. Among the songs on the new album, is 'See You Sometime,' a song Lorenz sang during the Charmbracelet World Tour. Lorenz launched his second album during the time he was prominently featured in Carey's 2006 The Adventures of Mimi Tour, doing background vocals and singing three songs -"Never Too Much", "A House Is Not a Home", and "Crazy," during one of her many costume changes.
In 2011 Lorenz has also found great success with the release two dance singles, DJ Harry Choo Choo featuring Trey Lorenz “Is This Time Goodbye” and the #1 UK dance record “Can I Love U More” by DJ Tony Moran featuring Trey Lorenz.
Presently, Trey is working on new music in between rehearsals with Carey. Lorenz. He is simultaneously recording an urban, pop, dance and a forthcoming gospel project, which he anxiously is looking forward to releasing.
Find A Way
Trey Lorenz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All people of the nations
We can break the color lines
And build communication
Let's begin the dialogue
I'm here to listen
So let's talk
I fail to join the norm
I only see the problems we'd erase If prejudice were gone
Ignorance has plagued this world too long
I pray our minds will overcome
**Chorus**
We've got to find a way
Come together, make it better
What a difference that could make
We're gonna find a way
(Gotta find it)
Time has come to make a stand
(Gotta find it)
Hand in hand
If we take a look inside our hearts
The answer could be found
And if we get together we can start
To turn this thing around
Living here in this confusion
There can be just one conclusion
**Chorus**
There's only hope
Deep within my soul
That we'll seek the knowlegde
To achieve our goal
We should see the world
Through children's eyes
And love each other like a brother
It's alright
**Chorus**
The Trey Lorenz song "Find A Way" is a call for unity and understanding. Lorenz urges that by breaking down the barriers of color lines and making a real effort to communicate with each other, we can overcome ignorance and prejudice. He suggests that true change starts from within and that we should examine our own hearts in order to create a better world. The refrain of "We've got to find a way" is both a call to action and a plea for hope, expressing the belief that if we work together, we can create a better future.
Lorenz's lyrics are particularly poignant for our current times, where the United States is facing a reckoning with its history of systemic racism and police brutality towards Black people. The song serves as a reminder that change is possible if we all work together, and that it starts with listening to one another and taking proactive steps towards a more just society. The phrase "living here in this confusion, there can be only one conclusion" succinctly encapsulates the frustration and anger that many people feel in the face of systemic oppression, while also hinting at the potential for a better future.
