Trelawny's music career began at Jazz Camp West, where she performed for the first time at age 12, and received a standing ovation. Although she studied classically, earning her BA in Vocal Performance in 1999, Trelawny continued to study regularly with world-class jazz singers such as Madeline Eastman, Faye Carol, Rebecca Parris and Raz Kennedy. In 1993 Trelawny joined the Emmy Award Winning Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir (OIGC). Within a few years she became a popular soloist, and member of the exclusive Oakland Interfaith Gospel Ensemble.

Trelawny was a frequent soloist for OIGC in Northern California houses of worship, as well as community events benefiting organizations such as Alzheimers Association, Bread and Roses and San Quentin Prison. She is featured on OIGCs 3 CDs, Great Day: A Cappella Negro Spirituals, Rejoice! (featuring guest keyboardist, Tony Toni Tone's Carl Wheeler), and We've Come a Mighty Long Way, as well as a special recording with Carlos Santana, in June 2001. Over the years, Trelawny's solos with OIGC brought crowds to their feet at world-renowned music festivals, including the Monterey Jazz Festival, San Francisco Jazz Festival, The 1997 International Music Festival in Sydney Australia, and New Orleans By The Bay. As a member of OIGC, Trelawny was honored to have performed with such legends as Pete Escovedo, Sheila E., Tramaine Hawkins, Walter Hawkins, Pharaoh Sanders, Marlena Shaw, Jeffrey Osborne and Sweet Honey in the Rock.

After recording background vocals for several Bay Area artists, as well as her own CD at Red Rooster Studio, she performed with Ledisi at the HBO Premiere of Disappearing Acts. In 2003, Trelawny moved to Los Angeles to further develop her music career as a performer and a vocal coach. Along with continuing performances, she is also being mentored and trained by world famous celebrity vocal coach Roger Love. Trelawny teaches private and group voice lessons to all ages and levels, specializing in a combination of vocal technique, performance and expression in Pasadena and Hollywood, California.
