Tell us about yourself. Whats your name? Where are you from?
-Travis Tatum Mills. I'm 22 years old. I travel the world and meet all kinds of amazing people off of my art.
What does the word "based" mean to you? and if you didn't know what it meant until now what do you think of it?
-I got put onto the whole based movement a year and a half ago and found it really intriguing. I feel like I had already been tapped into that mindset without even knowing it. I've always done my own thing. I've always expressed myself. I thought it was cool to see a network of people sharing and spreading that message in such a unique way.
How did you get your start in the music industry? What or who inspired you?
-I started playing music in middle school. I made some songs on my laptop when I was 19/20 and put them online. It really all just grew from there. I feel like I inspired myself. My desire and need to CREATE. I wanted to pursue my dream and have the freedom to do it on my own terms. With the internet you hold the key to millions of potential listeners. I never spammed. I did my thing and people gravitated to it. I'm still on my grind!
What upcoming projects are you working on? Any videos or something special coming up?
-I'm dropping my free album "Leaving Home" July 22nd. It's something ive been working on for the past 6-8 months. I dont want to say too much. I'll let people hear it for themselves and form their own opinion.
I just dropped the official video for an older song I released last year "She Got A..." and we are shooting a TON of videos the next few weeks for songs off Leaving Home.

Whats some advice you can give to everyone that you have learned so far in your journey that could come in handy to someone else?
