We had the good fortune of connecting with Trevina Johnson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Trevina, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.
My entire brand is about taking risk. The fact that i’m doing a Tribute Band & touring around the world paying homage to a living legend is what some would say is crazy,

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Good morning, My name is Tre’Jae and I am the CEO and lead singer of Just Fine- The Ultimate Mary J. Blige Tribute Band. The only touring MJB Tribute Band in the country. I am most proud of how the general audience has accepted us . It has not been an easy road to say the least. but it has definitely been worth it.

I have learned that people need an outlet . Music has been known to heal and give hope, that is our goal…We live operate in knowing that we are vessels used to inspire.

I want the world to know that we are not trying to be Mary J. Blige, but we are here to give you the Ultimate MJB Experience.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Being that I am a live music artist, I enjoy live entertainment and food. We would hit up all of the Afro-American (Black) owned restaurants and live music venues in Charlotte NC. The night life in Charlotte is really growing and I would make sure we attended “Pretty Girl” Brunches and shopping as well.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My partner Rashad King! We built this brand together. It has been tough but we figured that if we didn’t try, we would never know if this would take off. There have been naysayers and people that we know & love have tried to throw shade , but we just keep shining. God, our family & friends and our belief that there’s nothing we can’t do… together.
