Robert "Young Trip" Temple III

Robert W. Temple III, also known as Young Trip, was born in Flatbush, Brooklyn on June 11, 1989. Trip, born in to a music-rooted family, has been dabbling with instruments since he was a child: At the age of 6, Young Trip showed interest in the keyboards and by age 8 he played keyboard melodies, learned to program sequencers and eventually made his own beats. By 10, Trip arranged two tracks and called them "Traitor" and "Stay Focused." These two tracks were the fire that started his 800-track and growing catalogue. Trip has produced and written for NYK's Iman Shumpert, Laza Morgan, Robbie Nova, Donald Trump's "BQ Girls", Reggae artist Red Rat, the Sugar Hill Gang and more. He has also scored for upcoming reality tv shows. By the age of 23, Trip had already landed his production ("Toast" - M. Reck) on major radio, showcased and spun by DJ Kay Slay and others on Hot 97, Power 105.1, North Carolina's 94.5, OC's 103.9 and more. Trip is also the Founder and CEO of 6Eleven Music, a publishing company established in 2012. Under 6Eleven Music, Trip produced and released "I Just Wanna" by Jay Mula feat. Robbie Nova on May, 2013. Trip stands out from other accomplished producers of the pop and urban markets (outside of his age), because virtually all of his instrumentals are sample-free, not an easy task to meet in an industry that recycles, remixes and re-releases old songs. His music has its own gravitational pull on listeners. Young Trip's production style makes him a contender to be reckoned with in today's abstract music marketplace. Of course, cousins Wondermike of the Sugar Hill Gang (Now known as "Rapper's Delight"), and Printz Board, multi-platinum music producer, writer and music director for The Black Eyed Peas, serve as tremendous influences to this super producer in the making. Young Trip is poised to change the landscape of our evolving culture with his boundless exploration of sound.
