Treviño has had a natural rhythm and ear for music since he was 2 years old. He recently picked up the guitar at the beginning of Covid, he said. He said he got the ability to play the guitar from his mom's side and his singing from his dad's side.
He comes from a line of mariachi singers. His great-grandfather, he said, was a recording artist.
Treviño performs all across town, at many festivals and private parties. His goal is to become a famous mariachi singer just like Vicente Fernandez was.
