Self-Learnt Child Artist
During his childhood, Travis Tritt performed as part of the church choir. He taught himself to play the guitar when he was only eight years old. During his teens, he developed his talent further by involving himself in the composition of songs. After Tritt decided to take up music as a career, he started performing at local bars and clubs. Having made a name for himself within the Atlanta club music scene, Travis decided to relocate to Nashville where he was signed by the renowned label, Warner Bros. Records.
Birth of the Country Rocker
Travis Tritt’s first studio album, ‘Country Club’ was released in 1990. With its title track breaking into the list of the Country Top 10, Travis took no time in making an impression in the music industry. Other hit tracks from the record are ‘I’m Going to be Somebody’ and ‘Help Me Hold On.’ After a jump start, the musician’s career saw stability with the album ‘It’s All About to Change.’ With millions of copies sold in a short span of time, the record put Tritt in the spotlight among the likes of Alan Jackson and Garth Brooks. However, unlike these two renowned artists, Tritt defied the conventional cowboy country standards and treated his fans with modern rock style performances. Travis marked the end of the millennium with successful albums like ‘The Restless Kind’ and ‘No More Looking Over My Shoulder.’ Both the records made it into the Country Top 20.

After leaving Warner Bros Records, Travis Tritt was soon signed by another famous label, Columbia Records with which his first album ‘Down the Road I Go’ was released in 2000.

The record ‘Strong Enough’ and its title track ‘Strong Enough to be Your Man’ reached number thirteen on the country music chart.
