About TRENTON

With nearly two decades of experience on stage, behind the mic, and in the studio, Trenton Wheeler is a multidisciplinary artist who creates to the size of his heart, not to the size of the audience. Raised in Texas, he began singing and acting at an early age, eventually immersing himself in theater, improv, live music, and film. That early foundation in performance evolved into a lifelong pursuit of storytelling through sound, movement, and visual media.

Trenton is a founding member of the folk-pop ensemble Seryn, whose music has been featured by Disney, Clayton Homes, Wells Fargo, Whataburger, MTV, VH1, Showtime, and countless others. The group has been praised for their captivating live shows, emotionally charged compositions, and dynamic orchestrations. Trenton also produces and performs music under the stage name Topknot (short for his tribal given name Owl Topknot Feather). When he's not crafting his own music, Trenton stays busy behind the scenes—producing, engineering, and mixing for other artists across an eclectic mix of genres.

Honoring his Amskapi Pikuni (Blackfeet) heritage, Trenton continues the tradition of Northern Plains grass dancing and regularly hosts educational enrichment programs and speaking events. He is an advocate for Indigenous peoples, has served on the board of directors for the Native American Indian Association of Tennessee, and is a co-founder of IndigeNash, Nashville’s first Indigenous arts and culture festival.

Trenton, his wife Marissa, and their three children live in Nashville, TN.
