Turning tragedy into triumph is a practice Travis Orlando has become well versed in. When Travis Orlando first hit the set of American Idol, he was an instant hit.He had the look, he had the voice, and he had the emotion. Unbeknownst to the judges at first site, Travis’ emotions came from the depths of a harrowed heart. Born in Brooklyn, and raised in the Bronx Travis’ handsome face disguised his broken history living on the streets with his family. At the age of 10, Travis and his family would find themselves in a Bronx shelter. Despite countless trials and tribulations, Travis was committed to making something of himself.He’s currently a part of a concert series that will culminate in Sierra Leone. Travis recently opened for Olivia Langott at the Pink Elephant and was also featured on a Bronx News 12 segment regarding his recent success and aspirations of spreading his music world wide.

It’s highly unlikely to be able to overcome these extremeties and still reach the level of success Travis has achieved at such a young age.
