Trinity
has over the years been the definitive most hard working sound
crew in Sweden and is one of the very few sounds in Sweden
that do have a Sound System.
The
first dubplate was cut in 1995 and many many many has
been cut since! The very first dub was Plan & Defend with
Culture Dan from Jah Love Muzik. You can listen to it here
.
Trinity's
name is taken from the name of the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, where selassie
means trinity in Amaric, the Ethiopian language.

Trinity
Sound System was registered as a Trademark in 1996. For
more than a year Mercedes Benz tried to stop Trinity from
registering because they said Trinity logo resambles the Mercedes
logo. Thanks to PRV, Trinity's trademark registration went
through.

after 10 years in the sound. Jonas joined in 2005 as
the new Sound Engineer/Technician.
