From this beginning, she has worked in multiple aspects of the industry, from booking live music venues, artist management, creating warehouse parties, curating DJ rosters to being a DJ herself. In November 2012, Trina became a partner in Brisbane independent label Smack Face Records, specifically taking on board Publicity, Marketing and A&R for the up-and-coming label. Through her work within the label, she’s coordinated releases for such artists as Flea (RHCP), The Growlers, The Coathangers, Dot Hacker, The Wands and also helped tour various acts. She strives to introduce progressive and interesting bands into the territory and to create the same transfer of talent into international markets.Registration is essential.
