His style defies strict genre boundaries, effortlessly blending elements of nostalgic pop with the narrative richness found in singer-songwriter, folk, and country traditions.

Travis began his journey in production at a young age, diving into Logic Pro at just 13. “My parents had me hold a garage sale to buy my own DAW. It taught me about taking initiative and valuing my work.” Over time, he honed his skills as a producer and songwriter, continuously raising his standards. As a fifth-generation Angeleno, he officially moved into Los Angeles from Ventura County in 2022. “Being in LA was the ultimate level-up for my production and songwriting skills. The competition is fierce, but there is tremendous opportunity for growth if you can keep up. Working in LA allowed me to commit to production and writing full-time and led me to meet Dasha.”

Travis is thrilled to partner with Reservoir Media Group as his publisher. “Reservoir has shown unparalleled passion and initiative, which every person I’ve met at the company embodies. They came in swinging and delivered on all of their promises, which is exactly what I seek in a new partner.” He thanks his dad for teaching him to have a business mindset, his mom whose work as a therapist informs his collaborative writing approach, and his lawyer Jeffrey Gandel and manager Jessica Strassman for guiding him through “the craziest and best four months” of his life.

Recent collaborations include Dasha, Annie Schindel, Arden Jones, Jkash, Whitney Phillips, Noah Floersch, Rollo, Greyson Chance, Jimmy Robbins, gavn!, Michael Sanzone, Caleb Hearn, Michal Leah, Georgia Webster, Olivia Knox, Goodluck Rylie, and Mercer Henderson.
