Travie Austin on SoundBetter

"Travie Austin is at this moment one of the most exciting indie artists around" - QReview

I am a trained vocalist and I specialize in pitch correction, vocal production and mixing.

I'm known for being high energy and extremely professional. For the past four years I have written, co-written, produced and mixed music for and with numerous musicians and producers worldwide. I am in love with helping musicians bring their music to life in addition to my own.

In 2021 I signed with Accidental Entertainment, Inc based in LA for Sync Placements, and in March 2022 my song "That Sauce" was featured in the CW series All American: Homecoming.

I offer production services, including vocal production, pitch correction, backing vocals, vocal arrangement, mixing and occasionally mastering.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

I had the pleasure of working on another one of Travie’s songs. He’s a breeze to work with and his vocals are so inspiring they make me step my game up as a producer! Highly recommend.

Working with Travis was delightful. I did a couple of remixes for him and besides being a very talented singer, he's so easy going and passionate about music that really takes the edge off working on music without actually being together in the same room. Highly recommended. Thank you Travis!

Travis was amazing to work with. Very prompt and exhaustive in giving me a clear understanding of where he wanted me to go with the remix I made for them. Feedback was given swiftly which really helps the overall dynamic of working together. Very professional and talented!

Interview with Travie Austin

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Be ready to play with ideas. Music is our career, but it's also fun. I'd rather provide a lot for you to say no to, than to give you very little to work with.

When the pandemic hit, I dove head first into making music full time and really learning and improving the areas where I was really an amateur when it came to production.

A: Soul Pop. (R&B that doesn't know it's Pop) There's a bit a swag, a bit of sass, and a bit of soul. Which encompasses my entire personality.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Jacob Collier, his musical brain is insane and if I could be in the room with it for just a few moments, I know I would learn so much.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Our goal is to enhance the song and highlight the lead (whatever that may be), not to distract from it.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: R&B, Pop, Electro Pop, Hip Hop, Indie Pop, Indie Rock
