How do you find your own voice when you are standing in the middle of rock and roll royalty?

In this episode of Mork Unfiltered, I meet the talented Chloe Trujillo. She is a singer, painter, and designer who has built a massive career on her own terms.

Chloe is also the wife of Robert Trujillo, the legendary bassist for Metallica. But while she is part of one of the world’s biggest rock families, her own story is what truly shines.

Chloe grew up in Paris, torn between a father who wanted her to have a "safe" career in math and a grandfather who was a free-spirited opera singer.

She shares the terrifying story of the day she nearly lost her life in an attack by a serial killer—and how that moment forced her to stop living like a "zombie."

We dive into how she protects her own identity, how she raised two musical children (Tye and Lullah) while Robert was on tour, and how she uses art to heal from the past.

If you’ve ever felt like you were living for someone else’s expectations, Chloe’s journey will show you how to break free and find your own light.

Because sometimes the most powerful leaps forward start with stepping back, grounding yourself, and reconnecting to why you are here in the first place.
