Biography
Kirby D. Trim is back again with his sophomore solo CD - "I Wanna See Him"! Officially released on Jan 5, 2016, many will perceive it as an everyday irresistable blend of funky grooves, soul-stirring ballads, and uptempo adult contemporary. Having accomplished as much as he has as a multi-instrumentalist, Kirby’s heartfelt determination and greatest ambition is to maintain a persuasive Godly lifestyle and make music that brings honor and glory to the name of Jesus!
He is a guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, singer, record producer, and music teacher. St. Croix Virgin Islands native, Kirby D. Trim was born to minister through music! Encouraged to remember his duty ‘to serve the Lord” Kirby has been a very active minister of music in his local church and surrounding church communities. Growing up he fell in love with Jesus through his parents’ prayer & Bible reading devotions, the music his mom sang and played at home, and the sermons passionately preached by his dad – Bishop Desmond Trim.
Now at about 25 years in music ministry, his contemporary-yet-traditional sound and style is definitely influenced by:
Andrae Crouch
Lanny Wolfe
The Grace Thrillers
The Hawkins
Carlene Davis
The Winans
Harella Goodwin
Ronny Neale,
The Regenerated Singers
Fred Hammond,
Shine The Light
Rev. Milton Brunson & Thompson Community Singers,
Kirk Franklin
Israel Houghton.
It was at age 7 he recalls playing a ‘tuned guitar’ for the first time. Almost immediately, he was allowed to join the church band. He’s been giving his musical gift back to his creator ever since!
Throughout his youth, Kirby studied with some of St. Croix’s & St. Maarten’s finest music teachers. Right after High School, his parents sponsored his self-produced debut CD release “Changed Man” at age 18! From even then, listeners recognized his wide musical palette and an ear for detail.
His journey eventually led him from St. Croix (initially to study computer engineering at FIU), to South Florida where God’s sovereign will opened opportunities for him to continue honing his craft while recording and producing for South Florida gospel artists at PenTab Records.
As a result of that opened door, Kirby has produced for and/or recorded with Karen Williams, Glacia Robinson, Pastor Emmanuel Smith & The ART Singers, Pastor S. Robert Stewart & The PenTab Singers, Mark Brown and Focus, Pauline Brash, The Gunters and others.
Kirby met the love of his life, Kanece in 2002 and they married in 2007. They serve in ministry at Pentecostal Tabernacle International in Miami Gardens Florida, under the pastoral care of Pastor S. Robert Stewart.
