Trishelle’s personal relationship with God, music, and a heart of worship began at an early age. Born in the spring on May 31st Charron Trishelle Ruiz began singing as a toddler. Her parents were traveling evangelical ministers. Trishelle and her siblings would accompany mom “Cher” and father Phillip Ritter in leading praise & worship southern gospel style. She is truly a reflection of training up a child in the way they should go. She certainly hasn’t parted far from her roots in worship.

Her sound however, is a departure from the southern gospel she was raised singing and listening to. Her mom tells the story of when Trishelle was a toddler they were ministering with southern gospel grates “The Florida Boys”. She sang and received a standing ovation! Trishelle is also a member of the female vocal trio UpSyde. They’ve recorded three CD projects together. Trishelle has had the opportunity to tour the U.S and Europe as a member of UpSyde. Trishelle wrote, arranged and produced for all three projects.

For the past decade Trishelle has been writing and producing songs for other artist. However, at the close of 2006 Trishelle felt the pull of God leading and directing her toward releasing a praise and worship project. Gleaning from some of her greatest influences of worship leaders such as Pastor Clint Brown & Fred Hammond, Trishelle began recording what is now her debut solo release “Praise on Purpose”. She and husband Pastor Brek Ruiz are the senior pastors of Destiny Worship Center in sunny Southern California, where she is the worship pastor. She has been leading worship for 20 years.
