Traylece NakedHeart
About Me
Traylece NakedHeart singer/songwriter born in the historically rich low country onan island of the coast of South Carolina called John’s Island.
There she received an upbringing greatly influenced by a long line of strong, highly independent and outspoken women. While still at a very young age these inherited qualities first took form in eloquent and insightful poetry. Traylece’s poems evolved into songs and her elegant recitations transitioned into a powerful form of melodic expression.
Influenced byR&B,soul, andhip hop, her highly authentic personality makes for very few dull moments. Traylece’s authenticity makes itself most evident in her music. From tear jerking ballads to thought provokingrap lyrics that tell stories influenced by personal life experiences…good, bad and ugly.
The name NakedHeart was created because she found the term similar to “bearing your soul”. As a strong & ambitious black woman it is her nature to build a formidable wall of protection around herself. However, as an artist one of Traylece’s quest is to find the ability to peel away those layers of protection and expose her vulnerability in hopes of connecting, strengthening, and inspiring others while still doing what feels good to the soul.
