For most of his life, Trevor Exter has been a professional singer and cellist with his own approach to all aspects of composing, songwriting, producing, performing and touring. He’s had a few bands where he got to make a spectacle of himself, and some producers like to use him as a secret weapon. Extensive classical music training made him deeply sensitive to dynamics in music, but he’s always kept an abiding love for experimental, punk, rock and electronic music, maintaining a presence in those scenes. First-time listeners were sometimes puzzled when Exter would step on stage with a cello plugged into an amp the way a rocker bears his axe. These days he mainly sports a Telecaster or his fretless Precision bass as he gets ready to record his eighth album. Exter has toured with De La Guarda, Steve Kimock, author James McBride, DJ Tasha Blank and his duo with John Kimock, XVSK. He frequently performs solo.
