Trey Lorenz-The "I'll be There" Singing Partner of Mariah Carey



Who is Trey Lorenz?

The memorial service for Michael Jackson on Tuesday at Staples Center in Los Angeles brought out a galaxy of stars who paid tribute to the King of Pop. Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Magic Johnson, Mariah Carey and Justin Timberlake are included.

But some people are asking “ Who is that guy singing ‘I’ll be There’ with Mariah Carey?”

His name is Trey Lorenz (born Lloyd Lorenz Smith, January 19, 1969), an African American singer and songwriter. He was born in Florence, South Carolina. He is a graduate of Wilson High School.

Lorenz began his career supporting singer Mariah Carey on her first promotional tour in 1990, and the following year he provided background vocals on her album Emotions. Lorenz again served as Carey's backing singer on her 1992 appearance on the television show MTV Unplugged, where he and Carey sang a cover of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" - a duet the two reprised at Michael Jackson's memorial at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on July 7, 2009.

Trey Lorenz released some singles and two albums named Trey Lorenz in 1993 and Mr. Mista in 2006 respectively.

Watch the performance of “I’ll be There” by Trey Lorenz& Mariah Carey on MJ’s memorial service.
