Jacques Bermon Webster II (born April 30, 1991), better known by his stage name Travis Scott (formerly stylized as Travi$ Scott), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. His stage name is the namesake of a favorite uncle combined with the first name of one of his inspirations, Kid Cudi (whose real name is Scott Mescudi).[4]

In 2012, Scott signed his first major-label contract with Epic Records and a publishing deal with Kanye West’s GOOD Music. In April 2013, he signed a joint-recording contract with Epic and T.I.’s Grand Hustle imprint. Scott’s first full-length project, the mixtape Owl Pharaoh, was self-released in 2013. It was followed with a second mixtape, Days Before Rodeo, in 2014. His debut studio album, Rodeo (2015), was led by the hit single «Antidote». His second album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight (2016), became his first number one album on the Billboard 200. The following year, Scott released a collaborative album with Quavo titled Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho under the group name Huncho Jack.

In 2018, his third studio album, Astroworld, was released to critical acclaim and produced his first Billboard Hot 100 number one single, «Sicko Mode» (featuring Drake).[5] In late 2019, Scott’s record label Cactus Jack Records released the compilation album JackBoys, which topped the Billboard 200. After the release of his single «Franchise» (featuring Young Thug and M.I.A.) in 2020, Scott became the first artist on the Hot 100 to have three songs debut at number one in less than a year.[6]

Over the course of his career, Scott has become a globally recognized artist and pop culture figure. Along with his highly publicized relationship with American media personality Kylie Jenner, Scott has collaborated with organizations including Nike, Dior, and McDonald’s. In 2017, he founded the record label Cactus Jack Records. Throughout his career, Scott has achieved four number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100, along with 80 total charted songs. Additionally, he has been nominated for eight Grammy Awards and won a Billboard Music Award, Latin Grammy Award, MTV Video Music Award, and multiple BET Hip Hop Awards.

Scott has also gained notoriety for controversies and legal issues regarding safety at his concerts. In November 2021, a mass-casualty crowd crush occurred during Scott’s performance at the Astroworld Festival in his hometown of Houston, Texas, resulting in widespread condemnation of the artist.[7][8][9]

Early life

Jacques Bermon Webster II[10] was born on April 30, 1991, in Houston, Texas.[11] From ages one through six, Webster lived with his grandmother in South Park, Houston. Located in south-central Houston, the neighborhood was notorious for crime and had an impact on a young Webster, «Growing up, my grandmother stayed in the ‘hood so I seen random crazy shit. [I saw] mad bums and crazy spazzed out motherfuckers, I saw people looking weird, hungry, and grimey [sic]. I was always like, ‘I gotta get the fuck out this shit.’ It gave me my edge—[it made me] who I am right now.»[12] Webster moved to Missouri City, a middle-class suburban area bordering southwest Houston, to live with his parents. His mother worked for Apple and his father ran his own business.[13] Webster’s father is also a soul musician and his grandfather was a jazz composer.[14] Webster attended Elkins High School and graduated at seventeen.[15] During high school, he participated in musical theater.[16] Webster then attended the University of Texas at San Antonio, before dropping out his second year to fully pursue his music career.[17][18]

Career

2008–2012: Career beginnings and record deals

Webster formed a duo with his longtime friend Chris Holloway known as The Graduates. In 2008, the duo released their untitled first EP on social networking website Myspace.

The following year, Scott and OG Chess, one of Scott’s schoolmates, formed the group The Classmates. The Classmates released two projects, with Buddy Rich in 2009 and Cruis’n USA in 2010.[19] Scott mainly handled production work on both projects. The duo remained together until late 2012, when personal conflicts and financial disputes led to the disbandment of the group.[20]

After leaving college, Scott moved from Houston to Washington Heights in New York City where Scott began working with friend Mike Waxx, who owned the music website Illroots. After moving to New York, Scott slept on the floor at his friend’s house and spent most of his time at Just Blaze’s studio. Eventually frustrated in New York and the lack of progression,[21] Scott moved to Los Angeles, California, after only four months in the state.

In Los Angeles, Webster was abandoned by his friend who had promised to help him by providing housing. His parents cut him off financially and he eventually was forced to relocate back to Houston, where his parents kicked him out of their home. Webster moved back to Los Angeles once again and began to sleep on the couch of a friend who studied at University of Southern California.[22] Atlanta-based rapper and owner of Grand Hustle Records, T.I. would later hear one of Webster’s productions, titled «Lights (Love Sick)». While in Los Angeles, T.I.’s representative contacted Webster, asking him to attend a studio for a meeting. During the meeting, T.I. freestyled over «Animal», one of Webster’s productions.

2012–2014: Owl Pharaoh and Days Before Rodeo

Scott’s First solo full-length project is a mixtape Titled Owl Pharaoh, which was set to be released as a free download in 2012. However, the project was delayed, and was announced to be slated for a later release. The project was later re-created[23] by Kanye West and Mike Dean, and was then again delayed for sample clearance issues. In promotion Scott would release the track, «Blocka La Flame», a remix of fellow GOOD Music label-mate Pusha T’s single «Blocka» (which features production and vocals from Scott). The song was produced by Young Chop, with additional production by Scott himself, alongside Mike Dean. On March 22, 2013, Scott released the music video for a song titled «Quintana», set to appear on Owl Pharaoh. The mixtape’s version of the song features guest vocals from fellow American rapper Wale, while the production was handled by Scott himself, alongside Sak Pase and Mike Dean. On March 27, XXL revealed that Scott was a member of their Freshman Class of 2013.[24] On March 29, 2013, following his interview with British disc jockey, DJ Semtex, Scott premiered a snippet of his commercial debut single, titled «Upper Echelon», featuring 2 Chainz and T.I.

The tour ran through major cities such as Denver, Colorado, Houston, Texas, Chicago, Illinois, Detroit, Michigan, New York City, Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, California and Seattle, Washington.

Scott’s performances have experienced a number of issues. At Lollapalooza in 2015, Scott was charged and arrested for disorderly conduct after inciting concertgoers to ignore security and rush the stage.[157] That same year, at the Openair Festival in Switzerland, he encouraged fans to attack a man who took his shoe while he was crowd-surfing, by stopping the concert and repeatedly telling the crowd to «fuck him up», while also spitting on him.[158]

In 2017, he was arrested for similar conduct to his Lollapalooza behavior after a performance in Northwest Arkansas.[159] That same year, a fan sued Scott and the organizers of a 2017 concert at Terminal 5 in Manhattan after falling from a balcony and being dragged on stage, blaming the fall on a crowd surge.[160] In 2019, three people were trampled and injured as a crowd rushed to enter the compound at Astroworld.[161][162]

Astroworld Festival crowd crush

On November 5, 2021, at least ten people died and hundreds were injured in a crowd crush moving toward the stage during Scott’s performance at the Astroworld Festival in NRG Park in his hometown of Houston, Texas.[9] On the first night, a crowd crush occurred, resulting in the deaths of at least nine people and the cancellation of the second night of the festival.[8][163][7] In video footage of the incident, Scott is seen doing the following: continuing to perform despite chants from the crowd pleading for him to stop; observing at least one audience member had been hurt, then ordering security for a brief moment to «help, jump in real quick, keep going», only to continue with the rest of the show for the following hour; encouraging people to «get wild» and «crazy», despite an ambulance passing through the crowd that was pulling out lifeless bodies.[164][165] Victims killed ranged from 9 to 27 years old.[166]

In the aftermath of the crush, news outlets highlighted Scott’s history of dangerous disregard for audience safety. Rolling Stone featured a statement from a fan who had been paralyzed during a 2017 show;[167] The New York Times took note of Scott’s 2015 guilty plea for reckless endangerment after he encouraged fans to climb security barricades;[168] a Los Angeles Times article contained analysis by safety experts arguing that the deaths were preventable.[169] Among other points of criticism was the fact that Scott halted his performance in 2015, when an audience member stole his shoe, ordering the crowd to beat up the person responsible.[170] Shortly after, a lawsuit was announced by the concertgoers. It was started by Kristian Paredes, who filed for $1,000,000 due to the injuries he received.[7]

Jacques Bermon Webster II (born April 30, 1991), better known by his stage name Travis Scott (formerly stylized as Travi$ Scott), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. His stage name is the namesake of a favorite uncle combined with the first name of one of his inspirations, Kid Cudi (whose real name is Scott Mescudi).[4]

In 2012, Scott signed his first major-label contract with Epic Records and a publishing deal with Kanye West’s GOOD Music. In April 2013, he signed a joint-recording contract with Epic and T.I.’s Grand Hustle imprint. Scott’s first full-length project, the mixtape Owl Pharaoh, was self-released in 2013. It was followed with a second mixtape, Days Before Rodeo, in 2014. His debut studio album, Rodeo (2015), was led by the hit single «Antidote». His second album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight (2016), became his first number one album on the Billboard 200. The following year, Scott released a collaborative album with Quavo titled Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho under the group name Huncho Jack.

In 2018, his third studio album, Astroworld, was released to critical acclaim and produced his first Billboard Hot 100 number one single, «Sicko Mode» (featuring Drake).[5] In late 2019, Scott’s record label Cactus Jack Records released the compilation album JackBoys, which topped the Billboard 200. After the release of his single «Franchise» (featuring Young Thug and M.I.A.) in 2020, Scott became the first artist on the Hot 100 to have three songs debut at number one in less than a year.[6]

Over the course of his career, Scott has become a globally recognized artist and pop culture figure. Along with his highly publicized relationship with American media personality Kylie Jenner, Scott has collaborated with organizations including Nike, Dior, and McDonald’s. In 2017, he founded the record label Cactus Jack Records. Throughout his career, Scott has achieved four number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100, along with 80 total charted songs. Additionally, he has been nominated for eight Grammy Awards and won a Billboard Music Award, Latin Grammy Award, MTV Video Music Award, and multiple BET Hip Hop Awards.

Scott has also gained notoriety for controversies and legal issues regarding safety at his concerts. In November 2021, a mass-casualty crowd crush occurred during Scott’s performance at the Astroworld Festival in his hometown of Houston, Texas, resulting in widespread condemnation of the artist.[7][8][9]

Early life

Jacques Bermon Webster II[10] was born on April 30, 1991, in Houston, Texas.[11] From ages one through six, Webster lived with his grandmother in South Park, Houston. Located in south-central Houston, the neighborhood was notorious for crime and had an impact on a young Webster, «Growing up, my grandmother stayed in the ‘hood so I seen random crazy shit. [I saw] mad bums and crazy spazzed out motherfuckers, I saw people looking weird, hungry, and grimey [sic]. I was always like, ‘I gotta get the fuck out this shit.’ It gave me my edge—[it made me] who I am right now.»[12] Webster moved to Missouri City, a middle-class suburban area bordering southwest Houston, to live with his parents. His mother worked for Apple and his father ran his own business.[13] Webster’s father is also a soul musician and his grandfather was a jazz composer.[14] Webster attended Elkins High School and graduated at seventeen.[15] During high school, he participated in musical theater.[16] Webster then attended the University of Texas at San Antonio, before dropping out his second year to fully pursue his music career.[17][18]

Career

2008–2012: Career beginnings and record deals

Webster formed a duo with his longtime friend Chris Holloway known as The Graduates. In 2008, the duo released their untitled first EP on social networking website Myspace.

The following year, Scott and OG Chess, one of Scott’s schoolmates, formed the group The Classmates. The Classmates released two projects, with Buddy Rich in 2009 and Cruis’n USA in 2010.[19] Scott mainly handled production work on both projects.

Controversies and legal issues

Incidents at performances

Scott’s performances have experienced a number of issues. At Lollapalooza in 2015, Scott was charged and arrested for disorderly conduct after inciting concertgoers to ignore security and rush the stage.[157] That same year, at the Openair Festival in Switzerland, he encouraged fans to attack a man who took his shoe while he was crowd-surfing, by stopping the concert and repeatedly telling the crowd to «fuck him up», while also spitting on him.[158]

In 2017, he was arrested for similar conduct to his Lollapalooza behavior after a performance in Northwest Arkansas.[159] That same year, a fan sued Scott and the organizers of a 2017 concert at Terminal 5 in Manhattan after falling from a balcony and being dragged on stage, blaming the fall on a crowd surge.[160] In 2019, three people were trampled and injured as a crowd rushed to enter the compound at Astroworld.[161][162]

Astroworld Festival crowd crush

On November 5, 2021, at least ten people died and hundreds were injured in a crowd crush moving toward the stage during Scott’s performance at the Astroworld Festival in NRG Park in his hometown of Houston, Texas.[9] On the first night, a crowd crush occurred, resulting in the deaths of at least nine people and the cancellation of the second night of the festival.[8][163][7] In video footage of the incident, Scott is seen doing the following: continuing to perform despite chants from the crowd pleading for him to stop; observing at least one audience member had been hurt, then ordering security for a brief moment to «help, jump in real quick, keep going», only to continue with the rest of the show for the following hour; encouraging people to «get wild» and «crazy», despite an ambulance passing through the crowd that was pulling out lifeless bodies.[164][165] Victims killed ranged from 9 to 27 years old.[166]

In the aftermath of the crush, news outlets highlighted Scott’s history of dangerous disregard for audience safety. Rolling Stone featured a statement from a fan who had been paralyzed during a 2017 show;[167] The New York Times took note of Scott’s 2015 guilty plea for reckless endangerment after he encouraged fans to climb security barricades;[168] a Los Angeles Times article contained analysis by safety experts arguing that the deaths were preventable.[169] Among other points of criticism was the fact that Scott halted his performance in 2015, when an audience member stole his shoe, ordering the crowd to beat up the person responsible.[170] Shortly after, a lawsuit was announced by the concertgoers. It was started by Kristian Paredes, who filed for $1,000,000 due to the injuries he received.[7]

Jacques Bermon Webster II (born April 30, 1991), better known by his stage name Travis Scott (formerly stylized as Travi$ Scott), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. His stage name is the namesake of a favorite uncle combined with the first name of one of his inspirations, Kid Cudi (whose real name is Scott Mescudi).[4]

In 2012, Scott signed his first major-label contract with Epic Records and a publishing deal with Kanye West’s GOOD Music. In April 2013, he signed a joint-recording contract with Epic and T.I.’s Grand Hustle imprint. Scott’s first full-length project, the mixtape Owl Pharaoh, was self-released in 2013. It was followed with a second mixtape, Days Before Rodeo, in 2014. His debut studio album, Rodeo (2015), was led by the hit single «Antidote». His second album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight (2016), became his first number one album on the Billboard 200. The following year, Scott released a collaborative album with Quavo titled Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho under the group name Huncho Jack.

In 2018, his third studio album, Astroworld, was released to critical acclaim and produced his first Billboard Hot 100 number one single, «Sicko Mode» (featuring Drake).[5] In late 2019, Scott’s record label Cactus Jack Records released the compilation album JackBoys, which topped the Billboard 200. After the release of his single «Franchise» (featuring Young Thug and M.I.A.) in 2020, Scott became the first artist on the Hot 100 to have three songs debut at number one in less than a year.[6]

Over the course of his career, Scott has become a globally recognized artist and pop culture figure. Along with his highly publicized relationship with American media personality Kylie Jenner, Scott has collaborated with organizations including Nike, Dior, and McDonald’s. In 2017, he founded the record label Cactus Jack Records. Throughout his career, Scott has achieved four number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100, along with 80 total charted songs. Additionally, he has been nominated for eight Grammy Awards and won a Billboard Music Award, Latin Grammy Award, MTV Video Music Award, and multiple BET Hip Hop Awards.

Scott has also gained notoriety for controversies and legal issues regarding safety at his concerts. In November 2021, a mass-casualty crowd crush occurred during Scott’s performance at the Astroworld Festival in his hometown of Houston, Texas, resulting in widespread condemnation of the artist.[7][8][9]

Early life

Jacques Bermon Webster II[10] was born on April 30, 1991, in Houston, Texas.[11] From ages one through six, Webster lived with his grandmother in South Park, Houston. Located in south-central Houston, the neighborhood was notorious for crime and had an impact on a young Webster, «Growing up, my grandmother stayed in the ‘hood so I seen random crazy shit. [I saw] mad bums and crazy spazzed out motherfuckers, I saw people looking weird, hungry, and grimey [sic]. I was always like, ‘I gotta get the fuck out this shit.’ It gave me my edge—[it made me] who I am right now.»[12] Webster moved to Missouri City, a middle-class suburban area bordering southwest Houston, to live with his parents. His mother worked for Apple and his father ran his own business.[13] Webster’s father is also a soul musician and his grandfather was a jazz composer.[14] Webster attended Elkins High School and graduated at seventeen.[15] During high school, he participated in musical theater.[16] Webster then attended the University of Texas at San Antonio, before dropping out his second year to fully pursue his music career.[17][18]

Career

2008–2012: Career beginnings and record deals

Webster formed a duo with his longtime friend Chris Holloway known as The Graduates. In 2008, the duo released their untitled first EP on social networking website Myspace.

The following year, Scott and OG Chess, one of Scott’s schoolmates, formed the group The Classmates. The Classmates released two projects, with Buddy Rich in 2009 and Cruis’n USA in 2010.[19] Scott mainly handled production work on both projects. The duo remained together until late 2012, when personal conflicts and financial disputes led to the disbandment of the group.[20]

After leaving college, Scott moved from Houston to Washington Heights in New York City where Scott began working with friend Mike Waxx, who owned the music website Illroots. After moving to New York, Scott slept on the floor at his friend’s house and spent most of his time at Just Blaze’s studio. Eventually frustrated in New York and the lack of progression,[21] Scott moved to Los Angeles, California, after only four months in the state.

In Los Angeles, Webster was abandoned by his friend who had promised to help him by providing housing. His parents cut him off financially and he eventually was forced to relocate back to Houston, where his parents kicked him out of their home. Webster moved back to Los Angeles once again and began to sleep on the couch of a friend who studied at University of Southern California.[22] Atlanta-based rapper and owner of Grand Hustle Records, T.I. would later hear one of Webster’s productions, titled «Lights (Love Sick)». While in Los Angeles, T.I.’s representative contacted Webster, asking him to attend a studio for a meeting. During the meeting, T.I. freestyled over «Animal», one of Webster’s productions.

2012–2014: Owl Pharaoh and Days Before Rodeo

Scott’s First solo full-length project is a mixtape Titled Owl Pharaoh, which was set to be released as a free download in 2012. However, the project was delayed, and was announced to be slated for a later release. The project was later re-created[23] by Kanye West and Mike Dean, and was then again delayed for sample clearance issues. In promotion Scott would release the track, «Blocka La Flame», a remix of fellow GOOD Music label-mate Pusha T’s single «Blocka» (which features production and vocals from Scott). The song was produced by Young Chop, with additional production by Scott himself, alongside Mike Dean. On March 22, 2013, Scott released the music video for a song titled «Quintana», set to appear on Owl Pharaoh. The mixtape’s version of the song features guest vocals from fellow American rapper Wale, while the production was handled by Scott himself, alongside Sak Pase and Mike Dean. On March 27, XXL revealed that Scott was a member of their Freshman Class of 2013.[24] On March 29, 2013, following his interview with British disc jockey, DJ Semtex, Scott premiered a snippet of his commercial debut single, titled «Upper Echelon», featuring 2 Chainz and T.I. On April 2, 2013, Scott stated Owl Pharaoh was his official debut mixtape and would be released on the iTunes Store on May 21, 2013.[25] On April 23, 2013, «Upper Echelon» was sent to urban contemporary radio.[26] The EP was released for free download.

On March 13, 2014, Scott performed a new song, tentatively titled «1975» featuring Big Sean, from his upcoming project at the time, at the Texan music festival South by Southwest (SXSW).[27] Scott later confirmed via his Twitter account that the song is not called «1975», and would be included on his second mixtape, titled Days Before Rodeo.[28] He would later take to his Twitter account to announce Rodeo, as the official title for his major-label debut studio album.[29][30][31] On May 5, 2014, Scott released the full version of the song, with its new title «Don’t Play», featuring a sample of the song «M.O.N.E.Y» by the English rock band the 1975.[32][33] On July 11, 2014, «Don’t Play» was officially released as the lead single from Days Before Rodeo, via digital distribution.[34]

Following the success of Days Before Rodeo, Scott announced that he would headline a concert tour, called The Rodeo Tour, with rapper Young Thug and producer Metro Boomin.[35] The tour started on March 1, 2015, in Santa Ana, California, and ended on April 1, 2015, in Portland, Oregon. The tour ran through major cities such as Denver, Colorado, Houston, Texas, Chicago, Illinois, Detroit, Michigan, New York City, Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, California and Seattle, Washington. Second shows were added to some cities such as Los Angeles and New York City, after his first shows sold out. Artists such as Kanye West, Chris Brown, Wale and Birdman made special guest appearances in certain cities.[36][37]

2015–2016: Rodeo and Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight

Rodeo was released on September 4, 2015, by Grand Hustle and Epic Records. The album features guest appearances from Quavo, Juicy J, Kanye West, The Weeknd, Swae Lee, Chief Keef, Justin Bieber, Young Thug and Toro y Moi, and includes production from Mike Dean, Kanye West, WondaGurl, Suber, DJ Dahi, Metro Boomin, 1500 or Nothin’, Sonny Digital, Southside, Terrace Martin, Zaytoven, Pharrell Williams and Scott himself, among others. The album was supported by two singles: «3500» featuring Future and 2 Chainz, and «Antidote». The latter became his highest-charting single on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 16. Rodeo received generally positive reviews from critics and debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 chart. It also debuted at number one on the Billboard Rap Albums chart.[38]

Other ventures

During an interview regarding the label, Scott said;

Scott has said that he is a fan of Broadway theatre and would like to do an album of show tune covers. He has said that he would like to write his own musical in the future.[143][144][145]

Personal life

Controversies and legal issues

Incidents at performances

Scott’s performances have experienced a number of issues. At Lollapalooza in 2015, Scott was charged and arrested for disorderly conduct after inciting concertgoers to ignore security and rush the stage.[157] That same year, at the Openair Festival in Switzerland, he encouraged fans to attack a man who took his shoe while he was crowd-surfing, by stopping the concert and repeatedly telling the crowd to «fuck him up», while also spitting on him.[158]

In 2017, he was arrested for similar conduct to his Lollapalooza behavior after a performance in Northwest Arkansas.[159] That same year, a fan sued Scott and the organizers of a 2017 concert at Terminal 5 in Manhattan after falling from a balcony and being dragged on stage, blaming the fall on a crowd surge.[160] In 2019, three people were trampled and injured as a crowd rushed to enter the compound at Astroworld.[161][162]

Astroworld Festival crowd crush

On November 5, 2021, at least ten people died and hundreds were injured in a crowd crush moving toward the stage during Scott’s performance at the Astroworld Festival in NRG Park in his hometown of Houston, Texas.[9] On the first night, a crowd crush occurred, resulting in the deaths of at least nine people and the cancellation of the second night of the festival.[8][163][7] In video footage of the incident, Scott is seen doing the following: continuing to perform despite chants from the crowd pleading for him to stop; observing at least one audience member had been hurt, then ordering security for a brief moment to «help, jump in real quick, keep going», only to continue with the rest of the show for the following hour; encouraging people to «get wild» and «crazy», despite an ambulance passing through the crowd that was pulling out lifeless bodies.[164][165] Victims killed ranged from 9 to 27 years old.[166]

In the aftermath of the crush, news outlets highlighted Scott’s history of dangerous disregard for audience safety. Rolling Stone featured a statement from a fan who had been paralyzed during a 2017 show;[167] The New York Times took note of Scott’s 2015 guilty plea for reckless endangerment after he encouraged fans to climb security barricades;[168] a Los Angeles Times article contained analysis by safety experts arguing that the deaths were preventable.[169] Among other points of criticism was the fact that Scott halted his performance in 2015, when an audience member stole his shoe, ordering the crowd to beat up the person responsible.[170] Shortly after, a lawsuit was announced by the concertgoers. It was started by Kristian Paredes, who filed for $1,000,000 due to the injuries he received.[7]

Childhood & Early Life

Travis Scott was born as Jacques Webster on April 30, 1992 in Houston, Texas. He spent much of his early growing up years in Missouri City, with his grandmother. It was later that he moved to the suburbs to be with his father.

He studied at a private school before enrolling at Elkins High School. He graduated from the same in 2007 and subsequently gained admission at the University of Texas at San Antonio. However, in his sophomore year, Scott dropped out of college to pursue a career in music. Angered by this, his parents stopped supporting him financially.

Career

After dropping out of college, Travis Scott moved to New York City to start a career in music. Initially, he aimed to become a record producer and started focussing on hip hop production. At New York, he spent much of his time at Just Blaze studio.

He partnered with his longtime friend, Chris Holloway, and together the two launched the band ‘The Graduates’. A year later, in 2008 they came up with their first EP on the social networking site MySpace.

In 2009, he formed a group with his former classmate OG Chess, named ‘The Classmates’. Between 2009 and 2010, The Classmates released two projects. While the first was with Buddy Rich, the second was with Cruis’n USA. Scott mainly looked at the production aspect in both the projects. The duo remained together until 2012 after which they disbanded due to financial and personal problems.

Travis Scott faced a period of temporary low in his life, both professionally and personally. While nothing momentous was happening in his music career, his financial shortcomings left him with meagre means to survive. He travelled between Los Angeles-Houston-Los Angeles. Coincidentally, TI of Grand Hustle Record heard Scott’s production ‘Lights Love Sick’ and signed a deal with him.

Scott’s first ever full length project was a mixtape titled ‘Owl Pharaoh’. But call it fate or bad luck, the release of the project got delayed and was later re-created by Kanye West and Mike Dean. Meanwhile, Scott released the track, ‘Blocka La Flame’, a remix of fellow GOOD Music label-mate Pusha T’s single ‘Blocka’.

In March 2013, Scott released a music video of the song ‘Quintana’ which was originally set to appear in ‘Owl Pharaoh’. During this time, Scott became a member of the XXL’s Freshman Class of 2013.

By the end of March 2013, Travis Scott came up with a snippet of his first commercial debut single ‘Upper Echelon’. The single was finally sent to Urban Contemporary Radio and released as free download.

In July 2014, Scott came up with his song ‘Don’t Play’, which was a prelude to his first major label debut studio album ‘Days Before Rodeo’. The song was a great hit. It was this success that led Scott to announce a concert tour ‘The Rodeo Tour’ with Rich Gang’s rapper Young Thug and producer Metro Boomin. The tour started on March 1, 2015, in Santa Ana, California, and ended on April 1, 2015, in Portland, Oregon.

The Rodeo Tour was a grand success and made Travis Scott an overnight sensation. Renowned artists such as Kanye West, Chris Brown, Wale and Birdman made special guest appearances in various legs of the tour that took place in different cities such as Denver, Colorado, Houston, Texas, Chicago, Illinois, Detroit, Michigan, New York City, Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, California and Seattle, Washington. It is cited as one of the wildest rap tours of the current times.

In September 2015, Scott’s much-awaited album ‘Rodeo’ was released. It included guest appearances from various artists. The album was a big hit and debuted at number 3 on the US Billboard 200 chart. At the Billboard Rap Album chart, ‘Rodeo’ hit bull’s eye with the number 1 spot.

His album ‘Rodeo’ included two singles, ‘3500’ and ‘Antidote’. While ‘3500’ was an acclaimed hit, it was ‘Antidote’ that gave him a breakthrough in his career. It went on to become the highest-charting single on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 16.

In 2016, he released a collaborative single with Thug titled ‘Pick Up The Phone’. The single was majorly successful and reached number 43 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

By mid-2016, Scott announced that the title of his second and third albums will be ‘Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight’ and ‘AstroWorld’ respectively. In September 2016, he announced the premier of the second album ‘Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight’ on his third episode of .wav radio. He subsequently released the album on iTunes and Apple Music. By September 11, 2016, the album became Scott’s number one album on the US Billboard 200. The following day, he signed a deal with Universal Music Publishing Group.

In February 2017, Scott performed at All-Star Weekend in New Orleans at Champion Square. A month later, in March he also performed at the New Orleans BUKU Music + Art Project festival. At the same time, he also green signalled his next concert tour ‘Birds Eye View’ that toured in cities such as New Orleans, Louisiana and Eugene. The European leg of the tour commenced on June 23 and completed in July 9.

Apart from working on his third album, he featured on a track from Canadian rapper Drake’s project ‘More Life’ titled ‘Portland’. The song peaked at number 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming his highest charting song as a featured artist. During this time, he started working on a collaborative album with Atlanta based rapper Quavo of Migos.

In May 2017, Scott released three new tracks on SoundCloud, including ‘A Man’, ‘Green & Purple’ (featuring Playboi Carti), and ‘Butterfly Effect’. He followed it up with a ‘DAMN .Tour’ and a performance at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards on their single ‘Walk On Water’.

By the end of 2017, Scott was featured on Trippie Redd’s single ‘Dark Knight Dummo’. It peaked at no. 72 on Billboard Hot 100. A week later, his collaborative album with Quavo, ‘Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho’, was released. The album debuted at no.3 on the Billboard 200 and had seven tracks chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

Major Works

Travis Scott’s most notable work came with the debut album ‘Rodeo’ and its single ‘Antidote’. While ‘Rodeo’ debuted at number 3 on the US Billboard 200 chart and at no. 1 on the Billboard Rap Album chart, its single ‘Antidote’ went on to become his highest-charting single on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 16. It was his first platinum single.

Scott’s second album ‘Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight’ as a major hit and reaffirmed his dominance as a rapper and singer. The album helped him bag a deal with Universal Music Publishing Group.

Personal Life & Legacy

Travis Scott started dating Kylie Jenner since April 2017. In September, rumours of Jenner being pregnant with the couple’s first child spread. In February 2018, the couple welcomed their daughter Stormi.

Ранние годы

Жак Берман Вебстер II родился в Хьюстоне, Техас. С одного до шести лет Вебстер жил со своей бабушкой в ​​Южном парке, Хьюстон. Расположенный в южно-центральной части Хьюстона, этот район был печально известен преступностью и оказал влияние на молодого Вебстера: «Когда я рос, моя бабушка оставалась в доме, поэтому я видел случайное сумасшедшее дерьмо. Ублюдки, я видел людей, которые выглядели странными, голодными и грязными [sic ]. Я всегда говорил: «Я должен вытащить это дерьмо нахуй». Это дало мне преимущество — [это сделало меня] тем, кем я являюсь сейчас ». Вебстер переехал в Миссури-Сити, пригородный район среднего класса, граничащий с юго-западом Хьюстона, чтобы жить со своими родителями. Его мать работала в Apple, а его отец вел собственный бизнес. Отец Вебстера также является соул-музыкантом, а его дедушка был джазовым композитором. Вебстер посещал среднюю школу Элкинса и окончил ее в семнадцать лет. Затем Вебстер поступил в Техасский университет в Сан-Антонио, после чего бросил учебу на втором курсе, чтобы полностью заняться своей музыкальной карьерой.

Карьера

2008–2012: Начало карьеры и рекорды сделок

Вебстер сформировал дуэт со своим давним другом Крисом Холлоуэем, известным как Выпускники. В 2008 году дуэт выпустил свой первый EP без названия на сайте социальной сети Myspace.

В следующем году Скотт и OG Chess, один из одноклассников Скотта, сформировали группу The Classmates. The Classmates выпустили два проекта: Buddy Rich в 2009 году и Cruis’n USA в 2010 году. Скотт в основном занимался производственной работой над обоими проектами. Дуэт оставался вместе до конца 2012 года, когда личные конфликты и финансовые разногласия привели к роспуску группы.

После окончания колледжа Скотт переехал из Хьюстона в Вашингтон Хайтс в Нью Город Йорк, где Скотт начал работать со своим другом Майком Ваксом, владельцем музыкального сайта Illroots. После переезда в Нью-Йорк Скотт спал на полу в доме своего друга и большую часть времени проводил в студии Just Blaze. В конце концов, разочаровавшись в Нью-Йорке и отсутствии прогресса, Скотт переехал в Лос-Анджелес, Калифорния, всего через четыре месяца в штате.

В Лос-Анджелесе Вебстера бросил его друг, который обещал помочь ему, предоставив жилье. Его родители отключили его финансово, и в конце концов он был вынужден переехать обратно в Хьюстон, где родители выгнали его из своего дома. Вебстер снова вернулся в Лос-Анджелес и начал спать на кушетке друга, который учился в Университете Южной Калифорнии. Рэпер из Атланты и владелец Grand Hustle Records, TI позже услышит одну из постановок Вебстера под названием «Lights (Love Sick)». Находясь в Лос-Анджелесе, представитель T.I. связался с Вебстером и попросил его приехать в студию для встречи. В ходе встречи Т.И. фристайл над «Животным», одной из постановок Вебстера.

2012–2014: Owl Pharaoh и Days Before Rodeo

Скотт выступает в 2013 году.

Первый сольный полнометражный проект Скотта — это микстейп под названием Owl Pharaoh, который должен был быть выпущен для бесплатной загрузки в 2012 году. Однако реализация проекта была отложена, и было объявлено, что он будет выпущен позже. Позднее проект был воссоздан Канье Уэстом и Майком Дином, а затем снова был отложен из-за проблем с допуском образца.
