Travis Grace (Homiletix): From Billboard Charts to Building His Own Creative Empire | #288

Billboard-charting artist, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and entrepreneur Travis Grace, better known as Homiletix, joins The Stardom101 Magazine Podcast for a conversation about independent music, collaboration, entrepreneurship, and building opportunities for other creatives. Homiletix has carved out his own lane by combining the hard-hitting energy of Southern hip-hop with soulful contemporary production. Throughout his career, he has worked with respected names including Big Mike, formerly of the legendary Geto Boys, Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian, K-Solo, and Carl McIntosh of Loose Ends. In this episode, Travis takes us behind his journey as an independent Billboard-charting artist and explains what it takes to build a successful career outside of the traditional major-label system. We also talk about his latest single, “They Still Talkin’,” featuring hip-hop legend Big Mike and R&B sensation Ceajae. Travis shares the story behind the collaboration, the message behind the record, and what he hopes listeners take away from the song. But music is only part of the story. Travis discusses his work building a larger creative ecosystem through 18th Ave Media Group, a television network designed to provide opportunities for brands, record labels, artists, models, and content creators to reach audiences globally. He also talks about Tribe Life Studios Worldwide, Tribe Life Clothing Brand, and his commitment to helping emerging artists develop their careers. With a background that includes 14 years of service in the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division, teaching, and college-level education, Travis brings a unique perspective to leadership, creativity, mentorship, and entrepreneurship.
