Kid Travis 1,230

Kid Travis is a singer hailing from Philadelphia.
This very talented young man started making practical use of his musical inclination, (mother and father having been former choir director and singer) at about the age of 11. Travis, began playing instruments, and was quite skilled, despite not being able to read sheet music. Even so, a passion for the art of music continued to thrive. Around the age of 15, he made his debut to those around him as a singer during a solo performance in middle school. It was at this moment Travis realized his favorite instrument to work with was, his own voice. Although able to play guitar, bass, drums and keyboard, he began to explore what he could do with his voice.

After creating what would soon become a signature sound, Kid Travis decided to do his own production. This way, he could create his own groove, specially crafted around his particular style and subset of music. Being sure to take ample time to now add “music producer” to his extensive list of self-taught talents and skills, this too was learned and learned well. Applying inspirations from Drake, The Weeknd, Miguel, and Frank Ocean, the picture started to become clearer for KT. He and other musical collaboratives including No Idols/Music Memory, Eluzai, Just Shad, Double O Smoove made their own contributions to and participated in the trifecta of Label name, Collective and/or Fan base, “GroovieGang”. Working frequently with those aforementioned, he began to get to work.

At age 18, Kid Travis began to share these talents for our listening pleasure. Our journey with Trav starts with him giving us Dedication. The first actual, publicly released project by Kid Travis. This was succeeded by Luvsick (Travis’ personal favorite), No Labels. Between project placements, there are still a myriad of music releases, even if you just listen to the XXXTENTACION, Post Malone and Drake covers alone! To keep us on the edges of our seats, there are surprise samples and however, there are still some snippets that have been heard and are still long awaiting their release from the KT Vault to the general public. There is just that much content! Just one more thing that keeps us coming back for more with Kid Travis.

We aren’t the only ones either, with many big name artists subsequently listening to Kid Travis’ material and making it known. Artists such as; Rich Brian, Bryson Tiller and Dominic Fike have made multiple mentions via social media. He also was named a “gangster” by Post Malone during a recent Kerwin Frost interview. Travis also had his song Lonely & Upset sampled by Tory Lanez on Instagram live. Albeit the attention, KT has been able to stay hardworking and humble, and it’s paying off. After all, the goal is to reach the music lovers who really appreciate the fullness of music. With about 1 million streams across all platforms, it seems there are quite a few listeners, contributors and supporters. Pain, a song inspired by the late XXXTENTACION and his untimely passing, connected with fans the most. If you were to ask the man himself, however, he would tell you his personal favorite is Spooky SZN. Why? Because it paints a picture of progression. The speed of creation of not only fully polished audio, but wonderfully put together visuals was accomplished by none other than Travis himself. The track was created on the 7th, given to us by the 13th and was accompanied by a video on the 27th of October, last year!

With so much already, there is so much more to come. If he has his way, Travis will be touring, playing mass shows with some of the most talented people he knows, having the privilege to call majority friends. Sharing life’s experiences, feelings, thoughts and most importantly…vibes is what this gentle hearted, luvsick, hardworking, & fun loving person of interest is ready to give the music industry; something they’ve never heard before… creating new sounds, expanding his love for sound design and making grooves for him to share with us. His “GroovieGang” (Well, part of it!)
