In the past few years Travis got the oppertunity to fly out to Los Angeles and Nashville to meet with several interested producers to help with his upcoming album. These Producers have credits Producing, or Engineering for artist like Christina Aguilera, Guns and Roses, Staind, Michael Jackson, No Doubt, Weezer, Taylor Hicks and more.Travis made a demo in his room one day using only a 8 track recorder, sent it out to a couple places and that is how he got the oppertunity to fly to L.A and Nashville, these producers didn't hear your everyday song, they heard something unique, different and something that involved alot of talent, each producer wanted his name on this project, and if you listen to the music, you will know why.You might also know Travis from living in Los Angeles and spending his time doing street performances."I've been walking this promenade for over 30 years, and I've never seen talent like this, the way you switch your instruments back and forth and the music never stops"-Barry, a Santa Monica Promenade walker.
