When he was twelve Trent met [[Jesse Moreno]] around the corner from summer school. The two would become best friends, or ‘musical soulmates’. Initially they played angst-driven power pop and “Weird Al” Yankovic covers on acoustic guitars given to them by Trent’s father, a former musician in his younger days. They later changed over to electric when they realized it would be louder.
The music website Reburb ([http://web.archive.org/web/20001017140723/http://www.mtv.com/mtv/tubescan/animation/daria/trent_chp/reburb.html an archived MTV website]) reveals that Trent first met [[Jesse Moreno]] at age 12, during the summer. They took hold of Trent's dad's old acoustic guitars and formed many "bands", playing "angst-driven power pop and Weird Al Yankovic covers" for family and friends. "They decide to turn electric when they realized that it would be louder."


During his time Lawndale High School, Trent was scheduled for some classes alongside [[Tommy Sherman]], though like the football player he "may have missed a few classes". Reburb says he met Max Tyler at school after advertising for a drummer, and the three played "trance punk" in basements throughout their teen years. He knew [[Timothy O'Neill]] and once wrote "Down With The Man" on the teacher's car. ("[[Lucky Strikes]]") According to [[Is It College Yet?]], Trent missed his own graduation.

The band Mystik Spiral became complete in high school with the addition of [[Max Tyler]] & [[Nicholas Campbell]]. During his time Lawndale High School Trent was scheduled for some classes alongside [[Tommy Sherman]], though like the football player he "may have missed a few classes". According to [[Is It College Yet?]], he even missed his own graduation.


After high school Trent has continued fronting the Spiral and writing lyrics. With the Spiral he mainly plays brew pubs and grunge clubs though they have been known to play high school house parties for the right price and even a child’s birthday party to get out of a ticket. He’s never known to have been formally employed in a conventional job but once wrote a jingle for [[Happy Herb|Happy Herb's]] used cars in exchange for twenty bucks, an hour of studio time and a set of new tires; this was a deep, dark secret he didn't want anybody knowing.
