A Local Voice on the Rise. Born and raised in Lakeway, Presley Grace Trevino has been performing around the Lake Travis and Austin music scene since she was just 16 years old.

Now 20, the singer, songwriter, pianist, and entertainer is steadily building a name for herself through local performances and original music — including an upcoming single called “With You.”

Music has always been part of Presley’s life. She grew up in a musical family, with a father who performs as a country artist, and says many of her biggest influences come from the timeless sounds of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Think R&B, soul, and classic pop. “That older music has always stuck with me,” she says. “I try to bring that sound back in my own way.”

Presley says staying rooted in Lakeway has been a huge part of her journey. She’s never moved away from the area and loves being surrounded by family, longtime friends, and the support system that comes with growing up here. She also credits the nearby Austin music scene — and recording spots like Point West Recording — for helping young local artists carve out their sound close to home.

When she’s not performing or writing music, you’ll probably find her grabbing boba at SnowBo, where she says the owners already know her and her sister’s orders by heart, or working out at HCI Sports & Fitness.

And as for what she hopes to bring to the community? More live music.

“I just hope that what I do brings people a little joy when they’re out and about.”
