“Though music is my passion and I’ve accomplished a lot throughout the years, my most memorable
accomplishment is becoming a mother.”

A talented singer not only is blessed with the ability to entertain but also to move the emotions its listeners. One vocalist that has built a reputation for mesmerizing the masses with her angelic voice is the Philadelphia-native known as Treya.
Born Ottreya Alexa Bond, was raised in a middle-class area in known as Wynnefield. She first became an avid singer at the tender age of nine just prior to joining her church choir and embarked upon it as a career upon graduating from Penn State University as a Business major. One of the qualities that separate her from other musicians is her insatiable love for improving her craft. She is a student of the Guitar, with goals of incorporating those skills into her music.
Another thing that separates her from other singers is her style.
My style can be described as a cross between Gospel and a soulful element," she said.
Treya grew up around music to the point to where it would’ve been extremely hard for her
to not embrace it. Her grandfather was the Head of Security at WDAS radio and played an intricate role in her wanting to embark upon a career in music. He would often allow her to attend special events with him that was sponsored by the radio station. She also received autographed albums from mainstream artists as he would often invite them over for dinner.
Some of her cousins were members of the legendary group, “The Stylistics” and she also have a sister that was blessed with a remarkable voice.
Some of the producers that helped to shape her signature sound, includes: Ryan "Ghost"
Bowser, LEAL, and Pascal Guyon.
She is also influenced by the legendary Patti Labelle, who spawned her to become a stellar
writer and to fully embrace the gospel sound. Another singer who greatly influenced her is Etta James.
Treya is currently registered with BMI and will be releasing her upcoming album entitled, Love Is Eternity; this summer. She recently began promotion on her first two singles, Let Me Live & See You. Continuing her songwriting journey with Christian Music Mentor. A safe haven for youth to find their passion for writing and publish their work.
She is definitely a focused artist, with a great mind who will continue to bless the world with her tremendous voice.
