Her most recent project was a collaboration with Maya Jupiter (Channel V) and DJ Nick Toth as hip-hop trio, Foreign Heights. The second single off the Foreign Heights album, "Get Yours", earned them an ARIA nomination in 2007.[2]

Off mic, Trey is a youth arts worker, who has been facilitating hip-hop music workshops for young people around Australia for over 10 years. Her work in this area was awarded a Vodafone Australia Foundation "World of Difference" grant, enabling her to co-ordinate music programs for at-risk and disadvantaged young people at Information and Cultural Exchange (ICE) in Western Sydney. These programs aim to further-develop participant’s writing, communication and performance skills and encourage young people to tell their stories through hip-hop music.[3]
