We asked Travis about his upcoming album and his love for rock music. Check out what he had to say!
DFTR: What made you fall in love with rock music?
TC: I fell in love with rock music when I discover my dad’s CD collection when I was about 10 years old. Discovering albums such as “Appetite for Destruction,” “ Slippery When Wet,” “Back In Black” made me fall in love with rock music. When I would be watching live DVDs of classic rock bands performing, I would tell myself that one day I would be on that stage doing what they’re doing. It inspired me to buy a guitar, start a band, and move to Los Angeles to pursue a music career.
DFTR: What was your experience like working on your upcoming album-- especially working with Bob Rock?
TC: Working on this album has been such a great and fun experience. We really had a great time making this record. The writing process with him was so inspiring, and you cannot have a better person in this industry to learn from! I got to work on some new songs in the studio with Bob Rock, and also was able to co-write some of the songs on the album with Richie Sambora. We recorded everything with a full live band in a room at the Warehouse Studios in Vancouver. With this album I really wanted to capture a special moment of being in a room with all these great musicians creating music live. I believe that the album was able to do this.
Working with Bob Rock was an incredible experience. Such a great producer to work with. I have learned so much working with him, and we had a blast making this album.
DFTR: What are your plans once your album is released? Any tour dates in the US?
TC: Once the album is released I plan on going out on tour and playing as many shows as possible. I love touring, and being able to perform these songs live. Tour dates are not announced yet but I would definitely love to come play across the US, especially Boston (the home of one of my favorite bands Aerosmith)!
