Travis Garland was born on the 26 July 1989 and is an American singer-songwriter. He is best known as a former member of boy band NLT which consisted of Kevin McHale, Justin Joseph Thorne and V Sevani.
Garland was exposed to the arts at a very young age. He started off singing and acting in plays at his local church and went on to attend the School for Performing Arts where he received extensive training in music and theatre. After winning a nationwide acting competition at the age of 14, Garland relocated to Los Angeles where he signed with a manager and agent. He then began going on auditions during the day but spent his nights developing his songwriting, and after a meeting with a friend from Dallas he was asked to join the pop/R&B group, Not Like Them (NLT).
Further down the line, NLT was signed to a major label deal working under the direction of Geffren Records Chairman Ron Fair. With Garland as the front man and one of the lead singers, NLT was put in the studio to collaborate with top producers and songwriters including Pharell,Ne-Yo and Ryan Tedder. The group opened on tour for The Pussycat Dolls and gained a small, but loyal, fan following. In 2007 NLT released their Timbaland produced single 'She Said, I Said' and scored their first Top 40 Hit.
They continued to tour, and caused a female fan girl frenzy headlining a national House of Blues tour. When the group eventually parted and went their separate ways to pursue individual opportunities. Garland shifted his focus back to songwriting, only this time for a solo album.
Currently, Garland is back in the studio recording his first original untitled debut album for Interscope Records. To give him a unique urban pop sound producer Nate Hills, who has worked with Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Britney Spears and more, has singed on to produce the record. Garland will be writing and co-writing the majority of the album's tracks himself. Garland's debut album is scheduled for release later this year with 'Believe' as the first single.
