Trousdale was born in New Port Richey, Florida to a Greek
American father and an Irish American mother. He has
performed in various Broadway shows including The Sound of

Lacey Chabert and Greg Raposo), with whom he recorded
several CDs.
In 1999, he was chosen to be one of the five members of the
teen boy band Dream Street (formerly known as 'Boy Wonder'
-minus Matt, Frank, and Jesse-), created by Brian Lukow and
Louie Baldonieri alongside Gregory Raposo, Matthew
Ballinger, Frank Galasso, and Jesse McCartney. The group's
debut album, released on edel Records in July 2001, was #1

In 2002, the band broke up over a legal dispute between the
group members and their parents. Trousdale, since then has
gone solo and is currently developing his own material for
his CD to be released sometime *late* 2006. The Biggest Fan,
co-starring Trousdale and Kaila Amariah, was released on
home video and DVD in May 2005 (featuring original
remastered Dream Street track "You're Taking Me Over" and
remade tracks "I Miss You," "I Say Yeah," "This Time," and
"Jennifer Goodbye" was released in 2002).
Trousdale has been a big hit on Radio Disney via his duet
hits with the girl group Play (rendition of "I'm Gonna Make
You Love Me") and solo artist Nikki Cleary (remake of the
Grease track "You're the One that I Want").
Trousdale is currently working on the final stage of his
