THIRTY SIX SEVEN - POWR TRAV - INTERVIEW / ARTICLE
Thirty Six Seven: “Iight boom let’s start off with how old are you & where you from or what state you represent my boy?”
PoWR Trav: “I’m 18 yrs old from Long Island New York , & I'm going be one of the niggas who put’s Long Island on the map word to bro.”
Thirty Six Seven: "You cool with TBlossom? he from Li too & we locked in with him not to long ago! - so when did you start producing & how did you get into it?”
PoWR Trav: “Yeah i met Ty I think around late 2019 maybe & he’s been one of my favorite producers ever since - but I started making beats around mid 2018 because I was bored as shit one day & had the software already downloaded."
"My mother had given it to me as a Christmas gift the year before, but I didn’t touch it at all during that year.. fast forward & I decide to create my first beat.. it’s funny because the beat was ass but I have 600,000 view on YouTube now so i guess people are enjoying them.”
Thirty Six Seven: “How did you get your stage name “PoWR Trav” & where did your production tag come along? “PoWR Up?”
PoWR Trav: “Ok so boom - niggas already had a close friends group & we called ourselves “PoWR” so that’s just always been our thing .. it was already established, so I just put PoWR & the first part of my name together.”
“As far as the tag coming along - I just thought of it during a random working moment.. I was in my room just cooking up beats like I normally do & thought about this tag .. I was just thinking & I was like... “PoWR up”
“I instantly jacked it but I didn’t like the way I was saying it myself .. or my voice I don’t know which one - so I copped the vocals from some website but i can’t remember the name of it, then they put they own effects & everything else - that’s been the tag ever since”
Thirty Six Seven: “Do you remember your first big placement? If so what was the year / who was the artist & what was the song?”
PoWR Trav: “Well to be honest i would say my first major placement was Shawny Binladen - around 2020 when he was really starting to get some shine. I was on his album “Shawn Wick” & that was the tape that changed the whole sound of drill in my opinion.”

Thirty Six Seven: “What has been your hardest obstacle to overcome in the journey to becoming a credible producer?“
PoWR Trav: “My biggest obstacle has definitely been involved with staying motivated, because there would be many times where I would see myself just wanting to quit.”
“For many different reason as far as maybe the money isn’t coming in good that month or maybe nobody is liking / using the art that I’ve created - but see the thing is you just can’t wait until your motivated. You got to push yourself everyday & that’s how u can become credible - that & consistency.”
Thirty Six Seven: “What has been your favorite part of this journey you are on as a producer?”
PoWR Trav: “My favorite part I would say besides the money of course, - but the feeling of finding out an artist used one of my beats - there are so any talented people in this world & I love it!”
Thirty Six Seven: “What has been your favorite track that you were involved in or produced so far? Any specials ones to you?”

PoWR Trav: “My favorite released track is either “OD” by Chow Lee or “Yellow Beaucoup” by Shawny Binladen & Big Yaya - it's a tough one."

Thirty Six Seven: “Who are some of your musical influences? Producer & artist wise? Anybody you look up to?”
PoWR Trav: “I would have to say Lil Uzi Vert is one of my heavy influencers. He’s been my favorite artist since I don’t even know what like 2015! - also Metro Boomin & Southside to name a couple of other influences on the production side of things.”
“Uzi & 808Melo influenced me to start making music to be honest - & i can’t forget to mention Pierre Bourne because pretty soon i will start rapping on my own beats, I just don’t know when yet!”
Thirty Six Seven: “Who are some artist that you haven’t worked with yet? & would like too? Or even producers you would like to collaborate with?”
PoWR Trav: “I’m really trying to work with some more Bronx artists to be real with you - as far as Setty, Dougie, Nas Ebk & Etc. - but it’s so many niggas is locked up it’s sad.”
“I won’t be able to work with niggas like Dthang or Lee Drilly - Oh & I’m really trying to get myself in the underground scene as well ; like Yeat & Autumn. I’m trying to work in that realm too, shit would be a major blessing.”
“To Mention some producers I would love to work with of course 808 Melo & ATL Jacob - also me & WhereIs22 have lock back in real soon!”
Thirty Six Seven: “What is one thing you dislike about the production game? Anything you aren’t fond of or aren’t interested in doing?”
PoWR Trav: “ I don’t like the fact that these artists can get away with not paying us or even having a problem with sending us the tracks back .. it’s what really gets me tight the most about this shit.”
“Some but not all artist think they above us.. a upper echelon.. but without a beat, there is no artist or art! - niggas just be broke dick suckers trying to get a name & leave out the main piece to the puzzle."
Thirty Six Seven: “What is your end game bro? What are you trying to do in the industry? with you being so young & still having so much to experience - what do you want to be known for?”
PoWR Trav: “Man I’m just trying to get my foot in every part of field during this game I’m in .. & take over everything & everybody - I want to be known for being the one & only PoWR Trav! #SIMPLE”
Thirty Six Seven: “When you aren’t making beats what other project do you venture in gang? what else do you do?”
PoWR Trav: “I ain’t even going to lie I just be making beats for real.. trying to perfect my craft bro so i maintain all my focus on the art - i mean i play ball & shit like that but just mainly focused on music, but shit I’m a great photographer on the low 🤣.”
Thirty Six Seven: “Are you working on any project at the moment bro? any singles or tapes being released soon? What have you been doing?”
PoWR Trav: “Yeah most definitely - I’m currently working on a tape right now, its going to have all the guys on it ; I might drop it around August!”
