Travis Scott’s Early Life
Jacques Bermon Webster II, who is professionally known as Travis Scott, was born in Houston, Texas, United States of America, on April 30, 1991. His father, Jacques Webster Sr, was a self-employed entrepreneur, while his mother, Wanda Webster, reportedly worked for AT&T. Scott grew up with his grandmother Sealie; he spent the first six years of his life with her in Sunnyside, a neighbourhood in southern Houston while his parents lived in Missouri City.
According to Travis Scott, the environment made him make the decision to become a great person even though he was still very tender. He once said that while growing up with his grandmother in the hood, he saw a whole lot of crazy people, including “mad bums and crazy spazzed out motherfuckers; I saw people looking weird, hungry, and grimey” so he decided that he was going to be a different kind of person and that inspired his decisions in life which has landed him where he is today.
Subsequently, he relocated to Missouri City, a middle-class suburban area bordering southwest Houston, to stay with his parents, who later influenced his interest in music. Travis Scott’s father, Jacques Sr., had envisaged being a musician, but his attempts didn’t materialize, as he gave up the dream to focus on his businesses. However, seeing the potential inherent in his son, he decided to support his musical aspiration; he got him a piano when he was just age three and constantly catered to his needs necessary for his improvement towards becoming a successful musician.
Travis Scott eventually started making attempts at music while attending Elkins High School, where he participated in musical theatre. He graduated at the age of seventeen and was admitted into the University of Texas at San Antonio to study for his degree. Travis dropped out of school in his second year because he wanted to focus on his musical career.
Travis Scott’s Career
Travis Scott’s musical journey began in 2008 when he formed a duo known as the Graduates with his longtime friend Chris Holloway. They released their first Extended Play (EP) on Myspace later that year. Travis advanced into a musical group they called (The Classmates) the following year. The group worked and released two projects in 2009 with Buddy Rich. Travis worked with the group until 2012 when they had a financial dispute that they could not reconcile and decided to split.
Travis Scott dropped out of school to focus on his musical career and left for Washington Heights in New York City. Things were not rosy for him there, as he could only manage to squirt with a friend and sleep on the floor throughout his stay. He got frustrated with the lack of progress and financial constraints, which prompted him to relocate to Los Angeles to meet a friend who promised to help him but would later abandon him. At this time, his parents had cut off their financial support for him because they were not happy with him for dropping out of school without their consent. He was frustrated throughout that period until T.I., an Atlanta-based rapper and owner of Grand Hustle Records, reached out to him through his representative after listening to one of Trivis’ songs, and this became the beginning of his turnaround.
Travis Scott survived all the “evil days” and finally got his feet on the ground. In January 2016, the Houston-born rapper announced that he had a new studio album on the way, which he eventually released on March 29, 2016. The album skyrocketed his career and paved the way for more incredible exploits as many big talents in the music industry began to accept collaborating with him. Among the big phenomena artists who have collaborated with Travis Scott are Kanye West, Beyonce, Drake, Bad Bunny, Allen Ritter, Isaac Boni, KayCyy, and Michael Mule, among others.
He is currently one of the most prominent artists worldwide. He has over four studio albums, two mixtapes, one compilation album, three collaborative mixtapes, two collaborative Extended Plays (EP), and over 56 singles, of which he is an artist in 27 of them.
Travis Scott’s Parents
Travis Scott reportedly inherited his musical talent from his father, Jacques Webster Sr., and garnished it with his mother’s style; that is to say, his parents are a big influence on his music career. His father had attempted to be a musician but regrettably reconsidered when things didn’t work out for him as envisaged. Then, he channelled the energy into developing his businesses. In one of his interviews, Travis said, “My dad was a musician, too. He played more like soul music, and that’s where I got my whole music theory from, my pops and my grandfather.”
His parents supported his music aspiration from the onset but eventually got mad at him when he dropped out of school to focus on music. They stopped giving him money and supporting him even in the music. However, they are one of his biggest fans today. His mother, Wanda, has cultivated the habit of priding herself on Instagram as the ‘mother of the musical star’, constantly posting his pictures and attending his concerts. Although his father, Jacques Sr., is very reserved and doesn’t usually show the enthusiasm in public compared to his mother, Travis disclosed in one of his interviews that his Dad is proud of him. “My dad was on the phone like, ‘Son! You did so much! I’m so proud of you!’ ” Travis said. “I was like, ‘Yo dad, you just told me I wasn’t about to do shit!’ Like, if I wasn’t where I am right now, what kind of conversation would I be having with my dad right now? I will be thinking about that shit every day, man.”
