Keith Tryfle Hudson: "Lost Rebel"
Keith “Tryfle” Hudson was born in Queens, New York. After years of developing his passion, Hip Hop, he is ready to tell his story. His one man musical Lost Rebel is a project that tells his story through the true events of his life and the songs they inspired. He welcomes you into his past, his future and his heart.
Defying categorization, Tryfle wears many hats, including rapper, songwriter, poet, performer, and hip hop artist. The son of legendary reggae and dub producer and artist Keith Hudson, Tryfle has forged his own path in music as a lyrical rapper, writer, and performer. He goes by "Tryfle" to set himself apart from his famous father.
He released his first album 12/6/84 in late 2004 on the NuBreed Music Group label. He's toured both home and abroad, been a featured artist in many compilations and duo recordings, and was a semi finalist in 2007's Disc Makers’ Independent Music Series.
He learned his drive for life from his hard-working mother who worked at many hospitals in New York City in the late '80s and early '90s. The unexpected loss of his mother sent him on a journey of self-discovery through art, sports, writing, acting, and brought him to music in his late teens.
We had the pleasure of checking in with “Tryfle” on the occasion of the release of his new single and he was kind enough to respond to a few interview questions.
So great to have you for our interview today. Tell us about your latest single and what you’ve been working on lately!
Hi! Thank you so much for having me. My latest single is called "Don't let go" It's off my latest project "Lost Rebel "which is a deep dive into my childhood and all of the things happening in the world during that time. I'm currently working on long narrative-based projects, one is a fantasy novel with an accompanying soundtrack. The other one I don't even know what to call it which is exciting to me.
How does your music affect the world?
I hope it encourages people to take risks. All I've ever done as an artist is create work that makes me nervous to share like I'm trapped in a show and tell time loop.
Who has been your biggest cheerleader?
My older brother hands down. He's been there with me every step of way. He taught me how to write and produce music.
What are you most looking forward to in 2021?
The return of live performances, traveling overseas again and hoping a New York sports team wins a title again. I know there's a chance none of these come back in 2021.
What does “ Making IT” mean to you?
"Making it" to me means creative freedom and the ability to leave an artistic legacy. It also means I've gotten to the point where I could make a project that could ruin my career because no one would tell me no.
Where can our readers go to learn more about your projects!
My website is the best place to learn more about my projects because it's the one place where I can't be human spam.
