Trayc Foskett

A native of South Dakota, Trayc Foskett has a wide variety of experiences in her musical belt. While growing up in Sioux Falls, she was heavily involved in church choirs, show choirs, and nationally acclaimed concert choirs. Her college concert choir was one of three international choirs to be chosen to perform in the finale performance at Carnegie Hall's Mozart Festival with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Peter Tiboris. Individually, Trac has had experience as a featured soloist and a member of numerous small ensembles.

Professionally, Trayc taught individual voice and piano lessons for eight years. She received her degree in Vocal Music Education with a minor in piano from Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD, in 1994. She went on to accept a teaching position at a college preparatory boarding school for girls in Colorado. She left the school in 1996 and pursued other opportunities in Christian radio. During this time she was also Worship Leader for her church, began a youth choir to perform on Sunday mornings, and served as piano and voice instructor to families in the extensive home school network in Norfolk, NE.

Marrying Scott in 1997 brought her to the Los Angeles, CA, area where she continued to be vocally involved in church choirs and worship teams. This involvement continued in Redding, CA, as well as serving as Retreat Worship Leader for women's retreats. For the past few years she has taken a self-imposed hiatus from teaching to be a mom to her two sons, ages 4 and 17 months, to whom she enjoys passing on her love of all things musical.
