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.

Trey Lorenz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello stranger, I'm mighty glad to see you
It's been a long long time (a long long time)
Things have changed
But the thought of your embrace
Lingered on my mind
There are words to say
And lead straight to your heart
You're overthinking that I'm only here to hurt you
That never crossed my mind
Still you're colder than an ice sea (baby, baby)
You're not your typical pisces
But listen, baby, you entice me
(Don't you see)
Invite me to your place
C'mon, c'mon
Stop giving me the feeling, girl
You're blocking what we're nearing
True love is never ending
Don't you want it, girl
Don't you want it, girl
Don't you want it, girl
(Not your typical pisces, hello...)
Hello stranger, I'm mighty glad to see you
Here stands a different man
I've settled down and matured a lot
I thought you'd understand
Still you're colder than an ice sea (baby, baby)
You're not your typical pisces
But baby, baby, you entice me
Invite me to your place, hey baby
Stop giving me the feeling, girl
You're blocking what we're nearing
True love is never ending
Don't you want it, girl
Don't you want it, girl
Don't you want it, girl
(Not your typical pisces, hello...)
It's been a long time since I saw you, baby
Never should have let you go
Looking in your eyes, like I'm hypnotized
Soon I'm here to serve your love
(You're not your typical pisces
You're colder than an ice sea...)
It's ok to love a stranger at your door
It's been a long time since i saw you baby
Never should have let you go
I wanna say
Hello, hello...
In Trey Lorenz's song Pisces, the singer is addressing a stranger that he is glad to see after a long time. The singer acknowledges that things have changed, but the thought of the stranger's embrace has lingered on his mind. He knows that there are words he needs to say to clear the way and lead straight to the stranger's heart. However, the stranger seems to be overthinking that the singer is only there to hurt them, even though that never crossed his mind. The stranger is colder than an ice sea and not what one would expect from a typical Pisces. Nevertheless, the singer is enticed by the stranger and wants to be invited to their place. He urges the stranger to stop blocking what they're nearing because true love is never-ending, and he wonders if the stranger wants it too.
As the song progresses, the singer reveals that he is a different man now, and he has settled down and matured a lot. He thought the stranger would understand this change, but again, the stranger is being cold and not receptive. The singer reiterates that the stranger is not a typical Pisces, and their behavior is surprising him. However, he still feels enticed by the stranger and wants to be invited to their place. He encourages the stranger not to block what they're nearing because true love is never-ending.
Overall, the song is about a stranger the singer is glad to see after a long time, but the stranger seems to be pushing him away despite his genuine intentions. The singer is drawn to the stranger's mysterious behavior and wants to pursue a relationship with them.
