Tanya Trotter and her husband, Michael Trotter Jr., are the dynamic duo behind the soulful music of The War and Treaty.
Individually accomplished artists, their union both in marriage and music has elevated them to new heights of acclaim.
Known for their mesmerizing harmonies often dubbed “baby-making,” Tanya and Michael’s performances are infused with their genuine love for each other.
Michael’s journey to music involved a stint in the Army during the Iraq War, where he found solace in playing piano on Saddam Hussein’s own instrument.
Tanya, on the other hand, had already made her mark with her solo album “Natural Thing” in the ’90s, featuring the chart-topper “Through the Rain.”
Their synergy as The War and Treaty bore fruit with albums like “Healing Tide,” “Hearts Town,” and “Lover’s Game,” showcasing their diverse musical influences spanning soul, rock, blues, gospel, and country.
Their son, Antonio, occasionally joins them on stage, underscoring the intimate connection music holds in their family.
For Tanya and Michael, their partnership isn’t just about creating music; it’s a journey of exploration, breaking boundaries, and transcending genres together.
Their profound bond, both on and off stage, resonates deeply with audiences, solidifying their status as a cherished musical duo.
