Biography

Trey Fanjoy was born in North Carolina. She moved to Los Angeles in the 1980s to pursue a career in acting, and worked as a waitress to support herself financially while doing so. At this point she also took an interest in directing and moved to Nashville where she lived with songwriter Tammy Hyler. In the meantime, Fanjoy worked as a receptionist at RCA Records Nashville, where she was consulted by Jon Randall's manager Monty Hitchcock to correct the lighting on Randall's music video "I Came Straight to You". Hyler introduced Fanjoy to music video director Jon Small, who selected her as producer on videos that he directed. Fanjoy made her directorial debut in 1997 with the video for "Heart Hold On" by The Buffalo Club. From there, she went on to direct videos for Lonestar, Keith Urban, and Billy Gilman among others.
