Trina Shoemaker was born in 1965 and raised in Joliet, IL, southwest of Chicago. Over the past three-and-a-half decades, she has produced, recorded and mixed hundreds of records. A four-time Grammy® Award winner and six-time nominee, she is the first woman to win the Grammy® for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. Although audio engineering is a passion, writing songs and playing musical instruments are not. Instead, while her ears are busy in the studio recording music, her imagination is busy creating characters, narratives, plot lines and dialogues as she travels through the hidden workings of songs. These stories have culminated in the creation of her debut novel, BURY ME ALIVE IN YOUR SUGAR, on submission to publishers as of March 2024.
