Born on October 1, 1995, and raised in the vast, quiet landscape of Alaska, Troy’s journey began far from the traditional centers of music and fashion. Yet it was precisely that distance that shaped his vision. With limited access to industry infrastructure but unlimited imagination, Troy taught himself how to produce music, experimenting across styles and sounds until he developed a signature approach rooted in positivity, emotion, and atmosphere.
From the beginning, his relationship with music was intentional. He wasn’t chasing noise or trends. He was chasing feeling. Drawing inspiration from Electro and House music, Troy focused on creating beats that could motivate, calm, and elevate listeners. Whether someone needed energy to push forward or space to breathe and reflect, his music was designed to meet them there.
At just 17 years old, Troy began making beats seriously, already clear on his purpose. Music, to him, was more than entertainment. It was a way to inspire others, to set an example, and to show what dedication to one’s craft could look like. As he grew, so did his sound, his discipline, and his audience. His passion became evident to those who listened, and that authenticity helped him build meaningful connections with fans who resonated with his message and work ethic.
Over time, Troy established himself as a successful independent artist, inspiring many through both his music and his personal story. His evolution, however, did not stop there.
As new opportunities began to present themselves, Troy made a bold and strategic decision to expand beyond music and step fully into the world of modeling. What began as exploration quickly became a defining new chapter. The fashion industry opened doors that music had not, offering broader visibility, creative collaboration, and global reach. Rather than viewing this shift as leaving something behind, Troy approached it as growth, allowing one chapter to inform the next.
His presence, versatility, and professionalism quickly earned him recognition within fashion media. Troy went on to model for an impressive lineup of publications, including Mirror Magazine, Blur Magazine, Style Muse Magazine, Will Magazine on two occasions, Swing Boudoir, Elite Gloss French Fashion, and Amiri Magazine. Each feature further cemented his place in the fashion world, proving that his appeal translated seamlessly from sound to image.
At the start of 2026, Troy’s journey reached a defining milestone. On January 6, 2026, he was officially recognized by CIO Think Magazine as The Most Iconic Personality to Watch in 2026. The honor solidified his status not only as an award-winning model, but also as an award-winning music producer, a rare dual recognition that underscored the depth of his creative impact.
For Troy, the award marked more than success. It symbolized transformation. From Alaska’s quiet corners to international platforms, his path became a testament to reinvention, resilience, and the power of following opportunity without fear.
Since stepping away from music to focus on modeling, Troy has experienced greater recognition, a rapidly growing fanbase, and more opportunities than ever before. His journey continues to evolve, driven by the same passion that fueled his first beats years ago. Whether through sound or style, Troy remains committed to inspiring others, proving that growth often begins the moment you dare to pivot.
From self-taught producer to award-winning model, Troy’s story is not about leaving dreams behind. It’s about expanding them.
And his global rise is only getting started.
