 I want to train up the youth. I want to be a great teacher. Hello, my name is Travis, Travis T. Thomas. I'm a music producer, an artist, and an educator. You know, I feel like as an artist, I consider myself as a progressive, innovative person. So my artistry grows as I grow. I kind of feel like, you know, I don't really like to put myself in any type of box or any type of genre. I just like to be creative. You know, I like to reflect who I am and what I am through music and through art. My inspiration is a long list. You know, definitely my family. You know, my mother in particular inspired me a lot. She really was a driving force behind me, just getting into music and motivating me. So, you know, believe in myself and know that I had a boundless potential. So I think life, family, and just music inspired me. When my mother died, April 1, 2011, I realized that I hadn't become that thing that she wanted me to be. So in honor of her, I decided to be that thing and start to stop allowing doubt and fear and all the things that people allow to keep into their mind and stop them from facing their own, you know, sweeping their own destiny. And I said, I'm going to do it. In the year she died, I put up my first album, Bixie Motions, you know, because that's how I was feeling. You know, I was, it was bittersweet, but that was the defining moment for me to just decide to step out of the background and just be the artist. How do I come up with my beats? Sometimes I may hear something in a record and that might trigger something. I might say, okay, let me try to do something. Sometimes I just sit at the piano and just play. Sometimes I just throw out a rhythm. Sometimes I just sing. So just, I guess I'm inspiration driven. So a lot of times it has to be something that inspires me and that, that really inspiration will lead to the next. My message is always to inspire. My message is to be you. Really, I'm speaking through myself, you know, to myself first and hoping that the listener, you know, takes that and applies it to them, you know, because I understand how it is to, you know, to want to do something and want to be something, but just not know the steps to take. So I try to inspire people to just take a step, you know, just to believe enough to try. So I'm always trying to live people up. I'm always trying to motivate people to be great in their own way. So my message is always going to be, to be great, to be a light, to be an example, to be honest. What is my next move? I want to train up the youth. I want to be a great teacher for them so that they can have some knowledge and have a foundation strong enough to prepare them to, you know, the next level. I also want to put out more music. I want to do a couple beat tapes for the, for the culture, for the art. I really feel like as a producer, our craft has been in the sense taken for granted. I just want to make sure that those who choose to be, you know, producers or creative people, they have enough honor to, you know, be creative and to try to come up with new things and innovative things. So I just want to be a leader in that aspect. So that's really what I'm focusing on. I am Travis, Travis T. Thomas, and this is Five Questions.
