History

Formed in the summer of 2017, TRP.P's debut self-titled EP was released in 2017. [9] At the time, Pagliacci was also a member of Canadian hip hop group, The Sorority. [9] In 2018, Truss produced a track ("On Me") for The Sorority's debut album, Pledge. [10]

In January 2020, they released a music video for their song "Chakra Con", directed by Lu Asfaha. [13] In February 2020, they performed at the 20th annual Toronto's Wavelength Winter Festival. [14]

In July 2020, they released a new single titled "Tell Me"; CBC Music called the track "a beautiful ode to reaching out to those in crisis and checking in with loved ones." [15] Later that month, they performed at the Guelph's Hillside Homeside's online music festival. [16]
