Trey Lorenz, born Lloyd Lorenz Smith, emerged in the music industry as a background vocalist for Mariah Carey. He gained significant recognition in the early 1990s, particularly when he performed a duet with Carey on a cover of the Jackson 5’s “I’ll Be There” during an MTV Unplugged session in 1992.
