Passion is a deep love or a strong desire for something. Passion may range from enthusiastic curiosity to enthusiasm for an idea. Like many of us we have a passion and make it our life. Similarly, Trav B has found his passion, except he has more than one.

Widely known as Travis Ryan Bramble, at a glance, he is a young but accomplished Singer and philanthropist with years of experience in Songwriting and Music.

As a boy raised in Brooklyn, New York, born on January 25th, 1988; he sought to change the world through song and art. Recalling his earliest memories as, “My childhood was dope. I lived with my mom, older sister and younger sister. My brother moved in with his father at a young age, so I was the only man of the house. We couldn’t afford much but my mom made do and made life comfortable for us. She always cooked a big breakfast for us every Saturday while I sat in front of the TV watching cartoons. She made sure we had a good childhood and she definitely made sure we knew we were loved.”

Travis’s optimistic perspective on life’s challenges has enhanced his creative depth for each of his passions. Of all his crafts, Travis is especially proud of his intensive activism and hobbies; setting his sights on assisting underprivileged children.

More than a social activist, His humanitarian role continues to expand with his influence through his music. Trav B can be seen as a living embodiment of a free soul. His life’s achievements and craft continuously display his eccentric sense of self. He intends to use his life story and platform to encourage others to love themselves and those that are different.

Trav B continued to state the misconceptions about his music he had to over-come as, “Once they hear that I sometimes rap about Comic book characters or Zodiac signs they automatically think I’m a cringe-worthy niche rapper. Then they hear my music and quickly change their mind.”

Trav B was at one point enrolled in Kingsborough College in Brooklyn through this time, his passion and interest in the Musical and Performing Arts grew. In particular, he focused his energies and resources on honing his vocal and songwriting talents. This effort gave birth to a small insightful catalog of gems including “Red Stars”.

In his words, “A song I made called “Red Stars” its about Robin perspective looking at Batman as a dead beat father. It’s my best because it tackles the topic of not having a father and abandonment issues. It resonated with a lot of people that weren’t into comic books. That’s when I was like yeah this is the best thing I did.”

But citing his favorite achievements when asked to list them, he stated, “I was featured on an episode of MSNBC’s The Beat. I created a viral petition to make Baby Yoda an emoji which ended up being featured in Time Magazine, Complex, Entertainment Weekly, etc. I also created a Black Panther project that was featured in Comicbook.com. I acquired a huge social media following and a lot of viral content through-out the years.”.

Trav B’s fascination with poverty eradication and art aligns with his passion for filling the world with positivity. He believes in making this contribution though philanthropy and song. His long-term goal is to become a world recognized musician. He wants to use his untiring commitment to bring more dignity and autonomy to victims of inequality. With his platform, he intends to broaden and intensify the national efforts towards the betterment of individuals in impoverished communities.

There is more in-store from Trav B apart from his love of humanity and performing. In an interview he teased new content.

“Yes, I have a new song that just dropped called “A Bop”. That’s available everywhere. Then I have another song called “Rich For Life” dropping early December. Which will also be available everywhere. I also have my zodiac hats that has a line from me for each zodiac sign. You can find your sign at travbryan.com/shop ”

The world needs more individuals like Trav B, individuals that respect and devote themselves their passions.

With his ability to surprise we doubt that this will be the last time we hear from him.
