Life works in mysterious ways, and for homegrown emcee Travy P, that meant meeting Sydney rap staple Miracle through a mutual friend, and clicking over beef patties, buns and a mutual appreciation for honest music. At the end of 2016, Travy P was announced as the first signing on Miracle’s WVS imprint, and is now set for his biggest year yet with the label.

Despite his recent power moves, Travy P is no stranger to the microphone, spitting bars and beat boxing since primary school recess breaks, engaged as an omnipresent advocate for Brisbane’s burgeoning hip-hop scene for years. Approaching his songwriting with radiant positivity – perfectly paired with his brazen and bright dress sense – Travy P’s early mixtapes and Out Of The Blue EP shows a clear appreciation for Golden Era legends like Big L and Lord Finesse, layered with contemporary touches influenced by Kid Cudi and Kanye West, which is carried into his recent creations.

As an all-rounder who excels and accelerates in all lanes, Travy P is primed to snatch the spotlight in 2017 with the release of his debut EP POINT on WVS. You better recognise the beard and look towards the skies, because Travy P is “Going nowhere. Nowhere but up.”
