Treena Ferebee

Treena Ferebee, a Philadelphia native, was born into a musical family and made to sing before she could even speak. At the age of 19, Treena went on to tour all over the world as a background vocalist where she’s had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the likes of Musiq Soulchild, Stevie Wonder, Vivian Green, Prince, India.Arie, and the list goes on. She has made television appearances on The Tonight Show, The Late Show, The Soul Train Music Awards, BET, MTV and many others. During Treena’s time on the road, she has had the esteemed pleasure of becoming the first African American woman to hold the positions of Background Vocalist/Musical Director (MD) and Musician for a recording artist. As a solo artist, Treena, also known as TREE, has had the honour of featuring twice in performances alongside Grammy and Emmy award-winning jazz pianist, Robert Glasper and Oscars conductor Derrick Hodge. She has had a “dream come true” moment when filling in for the icon and legend Gladys Knight with legendary conductor Benjamin Wright alongside the Philly pops orchestra. Aside from Tree’s ability to sing she believed it was time to reinvent herself and learned how to play the bass guitar. During the pandemic she focused in on learning the skill of singing while playing the bass at the same time. Annually for over a decade, Treena has been a beloved performer for the Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philadelphia. She’s graciously been able to provide opportunities for people in her community to perform with her live on ABC! This is a tool Treena uses to encourage families in the community to come together at home to watch their loved ones perform or to have parents and their children perform side by side on stage in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers. Whether on the road or at home, Treena has taken all the great lessons she’s learned and used every opportunity to share it with her family and community. Being able to provide platforms and opportunities to extraordinary people is a great honour.
