Travis Lazarus "Travie" McCoy (born August 5, 1981) is an American rapper and singer-songwriter. He is the co-founder and lead vocalist of the rap rock band Gym Class Heroes, which he formed in 1997 with then-fellow teenager Matt McGinley, after the two became acquainted with the East Coast punk rock scene. After releasing their debut album independently, the group signed with Fueled by Ramen, a subsidiary of Warner Music Group, to release their second album, The Papercut Chronicles (2005).
During the band's hiatus, McCoy shifted focus onto his solo work and signed with the aforementioned label in a joint venture with T-Pain's Nappy Boy Entertainment to release his debut studio album, Lazarus (2010). Its lead single, "Billionaire" (featuring Bruno Mars), peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and number three on the UK singles chart, while the album was met with moderate critical and commercial response. In 2022, he signed with Hopeless Records to release his second studio album, Never Slept Better, in July of that year.
In 2007, McCoy launched the record label BatSquad Records to sign then-unknown American rapper Tyga and release his debut studio album, No Introduction (2008).
