A lot of people wonder how Travis became a musician. Scott’s grandfather was a great jazz composer and his father also worked as a soul musician aside from his business. The rapper went to Elkins High School and completed his graduation by the age of seventeen. He went to Texas University based in San Antonio for further education. He was dropped out of the University in the sophomore year due to a keen interest in music.
After getting free from the educational institution, he shifted to New York City and attempted to begin a career in music. Parents of Scott were frustrated over his drop out from University and that’s why they cut off financially. Now, it was time for the struggling rapper to live on his own.
