What Shapes Us 27: Trevor Andrew on Snowboarding, Gucci Ghost, and the Power of Obsession
In this soul-stirring episode of What Shapes Us, Selema Masekela sits down with cultural shape-shifter Trevor Andrew (@troubleandrew) Olympic snowboarder, musician, visual artist, and the creator behind the globally recognized persona Gucci Ghost. From dropping into the halfpipe at the Nagano Olympics to dropping genre-defying albums and art installations, Trevor reflects on a life fueled by fearless creativity and obsessive passion.
Trevor opens up about leaving Nova Scotia at 14, visualizing success in spaces where he was told he didn’t belong, and how snowboarding gave him the mental strength to push boundaries in music and art. With humility and humor, he talks about fatherhood, artistic integrity, finding purpose in pain, and embracing a fluid identity in a world that wants you to choose a lane.
Whether you’re a skater, creator, parent, or just someone figuring out how to chase your vision with everything you've got this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
