Early life
Travis Cormier was born on September 26, 1993 in Moncton, New Brunswick. He attended Mathieu Martin High School in Dieppe and graduated in 2011. At age 14, Cormier started taking singing seriously as a musician. He took guitar lessons and performed with rock bands during his time in high school at local venues. Influenced early on by pop-rock and country music, his destiny was carved out at birth when his mother named him after Country singer Travis Tritt. Inspired by his favorite rock bands Guns N’ Roses and Mötley Crüe who got their start in Los Angeles, Travis packed his bags at 17 to complete his studies at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California. He regularly performed at local venues in Los Angeles such as the Roxy, Viper Room, and Whiskey A Go-Go
