Hammadi Boujmal, originally from Morocco and growing into an adult in the U.S., started his career very early. He is also the founder of Media Square (formally known as Red Square Music), which can count many successful achievements including soundtracks such as “Breaking Bad” and “Limitless” just to name a few.
Travis, also known with the artistic name of Trarius, was born and raised in Gastonia, North Carolina; today he lives in Charlotte, where he is one of the most promising R&B artists of the region, while also making his mark in the international scene as his songs have been placed in movies such as “Big Fan” and “My Man Is a Loser” starring well known actors.
Why was their music unique since the beginning? Because it was a mix of two different cultures, backgrounds, styles and creativity. In their previous works as well as in this project, the real soul is the unique melting pot of asymmetry and variety; it is proof that in music, and life in general, there are no barriers between people. It's the proof that when it comes to art, differences of religion, culture, tradition and background are not a stumbling block but become an added value, a magical thing that can lead to very creative and unique results.
It is also a project and a passion that fought against time and space. When different and difficult events separated these artists, they carried on their work in distance, believing in the project and in its value. Believing that the key to success is dedication, hard work and true passion. Believing that one day their work could be recognized and appreciated, that other people could also understand and share the same feelings.
Trarius & Hammadi in other words is the outcome of a fight made over time, over space, over diversity and stereotypes.
