About Travis Scott
The Houston-raised and Los Angeles-based artist, producer, songwriter, designer, style icon, and Cactus Jack Records founder indelibly and irrevocably impacts culture as well. Powered by his visionary production, inimitable curation, airtight rapping, and stratosphere-shattering singing, 2016 saw him ascend to heights of superstardom to rival the size of his native Texas. Magnetically attracting one of the most diehard fan bases in music, his second consecutive platinum full-length opus Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight [Epic Records/Grand Hustle] crashed the Billboard Top 200 at #1 and Top Hip-Hop/Rap Albums Chart at #1. Among a bevy of unpredictable, undeniable, and uncontainable bangers, “Goosebumps” [feat. Kendrick Lamar] earned an RIAA triple-platinum certification, the Young Thug collaboration “Pick Up The Phone” [feat. Quavo] went double-platinum, “Beibs in the Trap” [feat. Nav] soared to platinum, and “Through the Late Night” [feat. Kid Cudi] became gold. Consistently “One of Spotify’s 100 Most Streamed Artists in the World,” his total streams surpassed 1 billion by 2017. To date, album sales exceed over 1 million track sales and single sales exceed over 2.7 million track sales worldwide. These and many more accomplishments and milestones have simply set the stage for his third full-length offering, Astroworld, slated for an early 2018 arrival. One of the year’s most anticipated records, he preceded it with the platinum “Butterfly Effect.”
