Hello Everyone, I hope you’re all doing well and feeling happy since our last chat. This note is going to be short and sweet — but oh, it’s a special one! On November 15, 2025, a brand-new streaming show will premiere — and no, it’s not FLOS! It’s my son Trevor Lawrence Jr.’s brand-new YouTube series: The TrevBeats Show — and what a show it is! As many of you know, Trevor is one of L.A.’s premier musicians. I say musician because he’s so much more than a fantastic drummer — he’s a true artist through and through. His résumé is 20 pages long (and still growing!), filled with performances, productions, and collaborations that inspire. But Trevor’s creativity doesn’t stop at music. He’s also an incredible photographer, with a stunning coffee table book already published — and another one in the works. He teaches, lectures, and has earned more awards of excellence than I can keep up with!
