Travis Little spoken word artist/emcee As my eyes crossed the room at "The Den", a somewhat strange quirky guy with his own definition of fashion stepped to me and introduced himself as Travis Little. I immediately got a strong vibe from him, of peace and bliss in his own right. He stepped on stage and spoke with such a presence and a grace that it took my breath away. This New Orleans native reminds me of myself, full of energy, has ambition and is beyond crazy. With his release Book of Cipher, I found myself playing "Dont Wast Time" on repeat, his line "I guess im a fish in a pond nigga thats Michael Phelps, even on a team im swimming by my fucking self" played in my head over and over.Born June 17, 1990 is a New Orleans singer, musician, poet and dancer.Poetry attended Abney Elementary, where he wrote his first poem and preformed it at his graduation ceremony. Giving him his first taste of spoken word. He later attended St. Augustine HS taking up his passion of music while playing trumpet in the famous "Marching 100 Band". There he learned about the great music of jazz and the art of musicianship. In college he help co-found "P.O.E. People" (Putting Out Expressive People) at Southeastern Louisiana University. Which has put on many performance around colleges, high schools, and charity benefit parties. He later moved to NYC (where he was born) To follow his dream in spoken word and music. Since then, he has quickly become a rising star in the poetry community and has vowed to " Not stop till I'm satisfied." Tha Wayt: Who is Travis Little? Travis Little: Travis Little is the weird dress dude chilling in the corner at the open mic. You don't know if he is going to perform but something about him is just interesting. Tha Wayt: When did you do your first dictation? Travis Little: Fourth grade English class. My aunt had just passed and it was the first time I ever written anything. Tha Wayt: Do you have a favorite author? Travis Little: Life is my favorite my author. But if I had to pick I think it would be J. K. Rowling, lol I love Harry Potter. Tha Wayt: Boxers or Briefs? Travis Little: Boxer Briefs Tha Wayt: Is Travis Little single? Travis Little: As of right now, yes. The only thing I'm married to is the grind. I cant fully commit until I'm at a place where I am stable. Tha Wayt: Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Travis Little: The cover of GQ, Jet, Ebony, Time etc... and flying to africa talking to political leaders to unite the people and end prolonging gentrification and genocide of the "Mother Land" Tha Wayt: Do you have any current projects that we should know about? Travis Little: I have the Book of Cipher which is available on datpiff. Its my first baby. I worked hard on it. My next project " The Godspel According to Little" wont drop till Oct 17th hopefully. Still trying to get everything piece together. Tha Wayt: How do you want to impact the world? Travis Little: At one ear drum at a time. People don't understand how music has such a powerful impact on a group of people. You change the frequency of what the people are putting in their ear drums; you just changed their whole output on life. The ending goal is that hip hop will no longer have the streets to talk about. Everybody living good so the struggle can't be cool. Tha Wayt: Who is your all time celebrity crush? Travis Little: All time celebrity crush? Ummmm..... Kee Kee Palmer , Janelle Moanae, and Elle Varner Tha Wayt: How can the people contact you, and see your work?
