Travie McCoy Biography

Travie McCoy is a rapper, singer, and songwriter recognized as the co-founder and lead vocalist of the rap rock band Gym Class Heroes. McCoy co-founded Gym Class Heroes, and the group's blend of rap, rock, R&B, and funk contributed to the evolving indie rock and pop-punk scene. Gym Class Heroes began with independent recordings before signing to Decaydance Records, releasing the album "The Papercut Chronicles." The band's early breakthrough came with the chart-topping album "As Cruel as School Children," which included the platinum-certified single "Cupid's Chokehold."

Gym Class Heroes continued to gain recognition with a series of releases, including the hit single "Stereo Hearts" featuring Adam Levine. Earlier in his career, McCoy won MTV's Direct Effect MC Battle. During the band's early years, he performed under the stage name Schleprock, later transitioning to perform as Travie McCoy.

Following the release of the album "The Quilt," Gym Class Heroes went on hiatus, and McCoy focused on his solo career. He released his debut solo album, "Lazarus," which included the hit single "Billionaire" featuring Bruno Mars, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100. McCoy continued to release singles such as "Rough Water" featuring Jason Mraz and "Keep On Keeping On" featuring Brendon Urie, while collaborating with artists including Patrick Stump, T-Pain, Bruno Mars, Cee Lo Green, Jason Mraz, Brendon Urie, Olly Murs, and Sia.
