At the beginning of his career, Trevor played bass guitar in the British reggae band UB40 and also was a singer in little-known groups in Seychelles.

In 1987, while recording the single "Come Back and Stay", producers Tony Hendrik and Karin van Haaren decided to change the lead singer, and to subsequently make John McInerney the new front-man.

These changes, in turn, created tension within the group which ultimately led to Taylor's departure, who did not wish to accept his new sidelined role.

That move was not incidental; it was a key strategy implemented by the producers to ensure survivability and continuity of their project, that is to make sure in the public eye that both Taylor and McInerney were still present in the group, only that their respective positions had been switched, where the fans were now expected to become accustomed to seeing Taylor appear in the shadow of McInerney.

Since 1995, under the pseudonym Supa T, Taylor began recording with the band The Party Animals, releasing singles "My Dog", "Gotta Jump", "Be True", and "Love and Respect".

[3] All these compositions subsequently were featured in his first solo album, Reggae in the Pop House & Soul, released in 1998 by Vale Music.

He later recorded singles for Mondo Club: a cover version of "Don't Worry, Be Happy",[5] and "Sex Up My Life", which became the soundtrack for the television series "Heiße Tage – Wilde Nächte".
