Childhood and Early Life
The future rap superstar was born in Houston, Texas, on April 30, 1992. He grew up in the Houston suburb of Missouri City. He lived with his grandmother Sili for the first seven years of his life while his parents worked long hours. His father Jacques ran his own business, while his mother Wanda worked as a sales associate at AT&T.
The creatively gifted young Jacques attended the prestigious Elkins High School, where he participated in theater and got into rap. In 2008, he posted on Myspace the first song he had recorded with his friend. Soon after, he teamed up with classmate Jason Eric (known as OG Che$$) to form a group, creating rap music and producing tracks together.

Career Development
After dropping out, Webster set his sights on breaking into the music industry. He moved to New York, crashed at a friend's place, and worked on his music, but success didn't come overnight. He then relocated to Los Angeles, tracked down the email of sound engineer Anthony Kilhoffer, who worked with Kanye West, and sent him his tracks. Kanye West himself, head of GOOD Music, was impressed by the aspiring rapper's songs and invited him to work on the album Cruel Summer.
In 2013, the Houston native contributed to Kanye's album Yeezus and Jay-Z's Magna Carta… Holy Grail. He also dropped his debut mixtape Owl Pharaoh, though its release date was pushed back several times. Travis dropped the track Blocka La Flame and released a music video for Quintana to promote the project. That same year, XXL magazine named him to their coveted Freshman Class list.


The following January, Travis Scott announced his new fashion line in collaboration with luxury brand Helmut Lang. That March, Scott teamed up with Lil Uzi Vert and Quavo to drop the "Go Off" music video and announced his Birds Eye View tour, kicking off in New Orleans and wrapping up in Eugene, Oregon that June. The European leg launched in Paris at month's end, concluding in Turku, Finland in July.
His latest album, Astroworld, released in 2018, earned rave reviews from fans and critics alike. Critics hailed it as a masterpiece that showcased his artistic evolution. The album's concept paid tribute to a shuttered amusement park from Scott's Houston hometown.
The album featured an all-star lineup including Scott's idol Kid Cudi, the legendary Stevie Wonder, The Weeknd, Nav, Gunna, Juice WRLD, and many other major artists.It was on top of the Billboard 200 chart (as the previous album), made it into Rolling Stone and Pitchfork lists of the best songs, and received Grammy nomination.
Riding this wave of success, Scott became brand ambassador for Saint Laurent Paris' Spring 2019 collection. He graced GQ's cover alongside Kylie Jenner and created the "Stop Trying to Be God" music video featuring her. The video was later dubbed the year's wildest visual.
