[dropcap class=”kp-dropcap”]T[/dropcap]here’s a reason that in The Sound of Music, Maria just can’t keep from singing, despite her solemn swear to the nunnery. The beautiful Swiss mountains and sunny skies all around her inspire her to constantly break into song. The same can be said for Tron, the up-and-coming Denver singing sensation with a stellar voice and a ton of drive.

“Getting started in any kind of music in any way all started when I was about seven years old,” she told CULTURE, reflecting on her earliest days as a singer. “I remember just listening to ABBA’s ‘I Will Survive’ and ‘Dancing Queen’on my mom’s karaoke machine, and one night my uncle forced me to start singing. From there on out, it’s just been a movement. I was so nervous but it felt so right.”

“When I sing, I get emotional and just down right raw,” she said. “So to categorize what my style is I would have to go with soulful R&B. You can always catch me singing some Lauryn [Hill] on any day. Some of my biggest music influences are Tina Turner, Jhene Aiko, Lauryn Hill, and Amy Winehouse. They always sang with such soul and raw tones that it seemed more inspiring to me as opposed to some auto-tuned, 15 minutes of fame one hit wonder. I love that you can see the real side of them through their music; they actually want you to be on the journey with them. If that doesn’t say inspiration then I don’t know what does.”

When she isn’t belting out passionate tunes or listening to her favorite singers, Tron is always down to advocate for legal cannabis. “For instance, one of my songs is about my first time smoking, and I’m not gonna spill the beans in detail just yet, but I find it easier to write about things you know and love,” she told us. “And one of my loves is cannabis! Who doesn’t love it . . . other than the feds (laughs).”

“I became an advocate after a really bad relationship and had some anxiety about it,” she admitted. “So I found smoking to be more therapeutic than wallowing in my sorrows about a boy. Then the saga began and shortly after that I didn’t reference myself as Desiree, I just started going by Tron. Cannabis has been a part of my life for a while now, and ever since my first smoke sesh I have had some of the most creative moments. So when I’m recording, I’m smoking; when I’m writing I’m smoking; when I’m living I’m smoking!”

Look out for Tron’s newest EP, due out in early March, and keep your ears open for her beautiful voice coming from a venue near you.
