Travis Greene | Profile, Biography, Life Style

Travis Greene lives his life as a testimony of faith, perseverance and love.

What is to be said of a child who has been pronounced dead twice in his life before entering kindergarten? Is it fate and favor that the child is still here? Or, is it the power of a praying mother calling on the name of Jesus so fervently that the circumstances defy all of the odds? By growing up in culturally diverse regions and experiencing various church denominations, Travis embraces his unique call for adaptability. Travis alongside his wife Dr. Jackie Greene and a passionate team lead Forward City Church in Columbia, SC where he raises two sons David Jace and Travis Joshua. Through his own broad style at the intersection of music and ministry -- Travis accepts the challenge to continually unify the body of Christ as one. He passionately uses his gift as a tool to inspire, heal and expose others to the transformative love of Jesus Christ.

After two life-altering brushes with death in 1989 and losing his father -- Travis became very passionate about music. “It was God’s way of giving me an escape from tragedy and crisis. I turned to the keyboard instead of to drugs and the streets. Any instrument I put my hands on I was able to play,” says Travis. Having a mother who is a dynamic minister, Charleather Greene, whom he spent time traveling with as she preached is where Travis honed his musicianship with several instruments.

Remarkably, Travis first performed his own music and preached for the first time at the age of eighteen within his mother’s prison ministry in Georgia where over four hundred women were packed in a gymnasium radically coming to the Lord. As a campus Worship Leader at Georgia Southern University, Travis used his gift to breakthrough common moral & cultural strongholds on the popular college campus – and meet the young woman who would become his wife, Dr. Jacqueline Gyamfi Greene. This experience defined what Travis’ then young ministry was all about and birthed him into his destiny. As a result of his diligence to God, Travis has seen hundreds saved on the campus -- and beyond. Travis has spent the last decade ministering to those who do not know God for themselves and he says, “I have been raised to be the voice that goes into the dark and desolate places to expose the life of Christ. I am not satisfied with doing the minimum when I encounter God, because when you are truly in His presence something changes.”

Travis Greene is a rising star in the Gospel genre and his meteoric rise has been reported everywhere from trade magazines like Billboard Magazine and Rolling Stone to lifestyle publications like XXL Magazine, Rolling Out Magazine, JET Magazine, Ebony Magazine, ESSENCE Magazine, Vibe Magazine, TMZ and The New York Times. Recently, Travis received acclaim for his is performance at the 2017 President's Inaugural Ball -- along with his message of unity, love and bringing the light and love of Jesus Christ wherever he goes. Travis has performed at the ESSENCE Festival, Trumpet Awards and BMI Trailblazers, to name a few. And yet there’s still so much more in store for Travis Greene. JET Magazine reports, "In just a short time in the music business, gospel singer Travis Greene has achieved tremendous success. Best known for his hits “Intentional” and “Made A Way,” the Grammy and Stellar Award nominated artist has landed on the top of the Billboard charts. Kirk Franklin even called him one of the artists who are “the future of gospel music.” Pretty impressive.

Over the course of his short but impactful career, Travis is humbled to have been nominated for: 13 Stellar Gospel Music Awards, 3 Dove Awards, 2 Recording Academy Grammy Awards, 2 Billboard Music Awards and 1 Soul Train Award. In 2016 Travis was named by Billboard Magazine as the 2016 Gospel Airplay Artist of The Year. Also in 2016, his breakout singles Made A Way and Intentional reached #1 alongside The Hill reaching #1 on the album charts. Travis kicked off 2017 with his album The Hill and hit singles Intentional and Made A Way returning to #1 on the Billboard charts -- and performances from Johannesburg, South Africa to London, England and everywhere in between.

At the 2017 Stellar Awards, Travis Greene received seven awards: Song of The Year (Made A Way), Male Vocalist of The Year, CD of The Year (The Hill), Contemporary Male Vocalist of The Year, Contemporary CD of The Year (The Hill), Recorded Music Packaging of The Year (Annie Stoll, The Hill) and Praise & Worship CD of The Year (The Hill).

Travis stays grounded by maintaining accountability by his spiritual covering and by being accountable to those he mentors & travels with as he believes it gives him a reason to step-up to the challenges he dishes out. The mission of Travis is not political but is his personal responsibility -- to expose this generation to the glory of God. The foundational scripture on which he stands is Romans 8:28. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

Kirk Franklin - Gospel Singer from USA

Artist Biography by Sandra Brennan

One of contemporary gospel music's brightest and most enduring stars, singer, songwriter, and producer Kirk Franklin emerged in the early '90s leading the Texas-based choir the Family, whose platinum-selling debut, Kirk Franklin & the Family (1993), proved not only to be a chart-topping gospel success, but crossed over to the R&B and pop charts as well. This broad appeal would prove to be a recurring theme in Franklin's collaborations with the Family (1996's Whatcha Lookin' 4) and another choir, God's Property (1998's The Nu Nation Project), as well as in his subsequent solo career, which he started with The Rebirth of Kirk Franklin (2002). Franklin's fondness for collaborations within secular and Christian music circles, and his innate knack for combining charismatic gospel with R&B and hip-hop, has continued to appeal to a wide audience. He remains a perennial chart success and a frequent Grammy winner, proven repeatedly with Top 20, award-winning albums such as Hero (2005), Hello Fear (2011), Losing My Religion (2015), and Long Live Love (2019).

Abandoned by his mother and having never known his father, Franklin was raised in Fort Worth, Texas, by his Aunt Gertrude, a deeply religious woman who maintained a strict Baptist household. When he was four years old, his aunt paid for his piano lessons by collecting aluminum cans. A natural musician who could sight-read and play by ear with equal facility, Franklin received his first contract offer at the age of seven, which his aunt promptly turned down. At age 11, he was leading the Mt. Rose Baptist Church adult choir near Dallas. Following a period of teenage rebellion, during which a close friend of his was accidentally shot and killed, Franklin returned to the church and began studying music with Jewell Kelly & the Singing Chaparrals at Oscar Dean Wyatt High School. During this period, he also formed the gospel group the Humble Hearts, whose recording of one of his original songs led to his discovery by Milton Biggham and a chance to lead the Dallas-Fort Worth Mass Choir at the high-profile Gospel Music Workshop of America Convention in 1990.

In 1992, Franklin formed the Family, a 17-member choir comprised of friends and associates from his younger days. After signing with the fledgling GospoCentric label, the group debuted with 1993's landmark Kirk Franklin & the Family album. The album topped Billboard's gospel chart for an impressive 42 weeks, crossing over to the R&B and pop charts as well and eventually going platinum. Two years later, Kirk Franklin & the Family Christmas appeared, though it was his 1996 release, Whatcha Lookin' 4, that sealed Franklin's stardom. Another major crossover gospel hit, Whatcha Lookin' 4, reached number 23 on the Billboard 200 and earned him his first Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album. The following year, Franklin collaborated with Dallas-based choir God's Property on the album God's Property from Kirk Franklin's Nu Nation, which proved to be an even greater success, topping the gospel and R&B charts, reaching number three on the pop chart, and winning a Grammy for Best Gospel Choir or Chorus Album. Released in 1998, The Nu Nation Project was an ambitious album that combined several different groups including the Family, God's Property, and a new Franklin-led choir, One Nation Crew. It also saw participation from mainstream secular artists like Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly, and Bono, and subsequently netted Franklin another award for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album. It would also prove to be his final album with the Family.

Over the course of the next few years, Franklin worked on the soundtrack of the 2001 movie Kingdom Come (contributing the single "Thank You"), then returned with 2002's The Rebirth of Kirk Franklin, his first album as a solo artist. Building on the success of its predecessor, the disc soared to number four on the Billboard 200 and spent 29 weeks on the Gospel Albums chart. Franklin's commercial triumphs continued throughout the decade, first with 2005's Hero and then with 2007's all-star affair The Fight of My Life. These two projects gave him consecutive Grammys for Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album and Best Gospel Song ("Imagine Me," "Help Me Believe").

In 2010, following the tragic earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Franklin assembled an even bigger crowd of gospel all-stars in Nashville's Quad Studios to record the benefit single "Are You Listening." His next studio album, 2011's Hello Fear, featured "I Smile," his first hit on the Billboard Hot 100 since 2005. More optimistic in tone than his previous outing, the album took the gospel chart by storm, landing in the top spot and remaining there for several weeks. It also won the Grammy for Best Gospel Album, and its title track took Best Gospel Song.

Franklin spent the next two-and-a-half years touring. He formed his own label, Fo Yo Soul, and in November 2015 released Losing My Religion, which despite its title was every bit as faith-based as his previous work. "Wanna Be Happy?," a pre-album single, was subsequently awarded Best Gospel Performance/Song. The next year, the parent release won Best Gospel Album. At the same ceremony, Franklin won another Best Gospel Performance/Song award, this time for writing Tamela Mann's "God Provides," and was up for two rap awards due to his role in Kanye West's "Ultralight Beam." Following several more years of touring, he co-produced Tori Kelly's 2018 album Hiding Place and launched the Exodus Music & Arts Festival in Dallas. He returned in 2019 with Long Live Love, his seventh Top 20 pop LP. This resulted in his 14th and 15th Grammy trophies: Best Gospel Album, and Best Gospel Performance/Song for "Love Theory."
