About Travis Scott

Hailing from Missouri City, Texas, in Fort Bend County, Travis Scott has become a defining force in contemporary hip-hop. His stage name, a nod to both his favorite uncle and Kid Cudi, reflects the blend of personal roots and artistic inspiration that fuels his sound. After dropping out of the University of Texas at San Antonio to pursue music in Los Angeles, Scott's career took off when Kanye West discovered him, signing him to GOOD Music as an in-house producer in 2012. He co-produced "Sin City" on West's *Yeezus* before launching his own career with mixtapes and the groundbreaking album *Rodeo*, which popularized the 'rage' subgenre by fusing trap beats with psychedelic textures.

Scott's impact extends beyond music, permeating fashion, sneaker culture, and the sonic landscape of modern hip-hop. His chart-topping single "Sicko Mode," featuring Drake, won a Billboard Music Award and is known for its innovative beat switches. While his Astroworld Festival became a cultural touchstone, it was marred by tragedy in 2021. Throughout his discography, Scott maintains a strong connection to place, referencing cities like Houston ("Backyard," "Pornography"), Miami ("Days Before Rodeo: The Prayer"), and New York City ("HYAENA"), grounding his expansive sound in tangible locales.
