Sadaf Fayyaz: Did you get some formal music training? If so, tell about it.
Travis Hunter Brown: Well, I've been singing since I could talk. I listened to a lot to my Mother's old records. Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Tina Turner, People like that, to name a few. I would say shaped my music knowledge in the first years of my life. In Middle school and high school I attended performing arts schools for voice. After high school I was in several bands. I think a culmination of what I learned in school, my mother's record collection and the bands I was in, all shaped my musical odyssey.
