In 1993, he released his first album, the Spanish-language Dos Mundos. After graduating from high school, he was offered a baseball scholarship to Memphis State University, but he declined the offer to study music. Soon, he was taking classical piano lessons and studying the clarinet. Both of his parents fostered his musical interests, and as a child, he listened to a variety of music, including Tejano, country, classical pianist Van Cliburn, and mainstream pop/rockers like Elton John and Billy Joel. Trevino was born into a musical family - his father was a member of a local Tejano group. Beginning with "She Can't Say I Didn't Cry" in 1994, Trevino racked up several hits over the next few years with his Garth Brooks-inspired blend of new country and album rock. During the mid-'90s, Rick Trevino emerged as one of the first popular Hispanic singers in country music since the mid-'70s, when Freddy Fender and Johnny Rodriguez were having hits.
