We had the good fortune of connecting with Travis Cherry and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Travis, as a parent, what have you done for you children that you feel has had the most significant impact?
The most important thing for me, as to be an example that she could look up to. She googles me, and keeps up with things I’m working on, while having her own acting and modeling career. Seeing her do her thing now, and appear on commercials, makes me feel more successful.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I started out singing in an R&B group called Simplee Uneek, and after that I took a year to teach myself production. The road was not easy but the journey made me who I am. I had to pray ALOT! Went through a rough patch when I broke away from the producers I was producing under, to build my own brand. Was a scary process but, my best friend Brian and I worked on the concept of The Purple Room and brought it to fruition. I learned that being in the music business requires you to believe in yourself so much, that you will jump off a cliff 10 times until you grow wings and fly!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would probably eat at Go Vegan Grill, and also Hello Chicken. Those are my two favorite spots to eat at. We would probably go party with Kenny Money at Door 54, or hang out with Mr. Plush! Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I hate to single out one person, but I’m going to have to say Jazze Pha. He’s been a brother to me, and he has never switched up on me. We met in 1996, when I first moved to Atlanta, and he took me under his wing and introduced me to so many people who were movers and shakers here. He used to hype me up to everyone, and that felt great for him to see something in me.
