We had the good fortune of connecting with Travis Bell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Travis, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
I’m from Gainesville, FL and I currently reside in Atlanta, GA.

My background and upbringing impacted who I am today because it was embedded into me to always be the BEST that I could ever be and always follow my dreams by any means necessary.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a self-taught Fashion Designer with a clothing/sneaker line scheduled to officially launch end of 2022 / Early 2023!

I am a fashion designer, singer, artist manager, and style an inspirational musical talent/group that I’m a part of – Lawrence Flowers & Intercession. Where we have recorded numerous albums (i.e., Merge, Champion, and More… to name a few). In 2022, The group has hit Top 5 Billboard charts and most recent album debuted at #1 on iTunes; with two current Billboard #1 Singles (Way & Calculated).  Working with the label (Anderson Music Group) has been a dream come true and so many answered prayers.

I have also been blessed to recorded on GreenLeafs Season 2 soundtrack and a few episodes from the show (Own Network).

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m a believer of supporting black establishments and small businesses like never before for various and obvious reasons. This is an important factor due to the times that we are living in with police brutality against our black culture and the lack their of from government officials.

Therefore, my go to will be to research every black restaurant for brunch/dinner, concerts/tours, and any social gatherings throughout the week to network.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My Mother/Co-Pastor – (M.Hayes) and Leader/Close Friend of the singing entity that I’m a part of – Lawrence Flowers.

I’ve been fortunate to sit under them for decades and their teachings have caused me to develop into the man that I am today.
