Eastside Detroit's Own Traveno Carves His Own Lane in Music
Hailing from the gritty, resilient streets of Eastside Detroit, rising artist Traveno is making waves in the music scene — not just with his sound, but with his work ethic and all-in approach to creativity.
From a young age, music was part of Traveno’s everyday life. “My family used to rap all the time for fun,” he recalls. “It got me into it.” That casual introduction quickly evolved into a passion, and now, Traveno is turning heads with a unique blend of raw authenticity and total self-reliance.
What sets Traveno apart from the crowd is his hands-on approach to everything he creates. “I honestly pride myself on full self-sufficiency,” he says. “I direct and edit my videos, engineer my vocals, and produce 80% of my beats.” In an industry where many rely on teams, Traveno is a one-man force — an artist who owns his sound, vision, and brand.
He’s not just technical — he’s lyrical too. When asked about his favorite bar, he delivers without hesitation:
“I subscribed to the streets, I got that premium — it’s not a trial.”
A punchline that blends street wit with streaming-era cleverness, it’s a testament to Traveno’s ability to craft lines that hit hard and stick.
Following the release of his full-length album “Sliced Bread” in March, Traveno is keeping the pressure on with a new project dropping this August: the highly anticipated mixtape/EP “Stony Hawk: Pro Haters 1+2.” It’s a bold title that promises even bolder content — a reflection of the confidence and attitude that drive his music.
Ultimately, Traveno’s mission is rooted in something real. “I want to make the best music and make money to support my kids,” he says. It's a simple goal, but one that fuels every beat he builds, every verse he lays down, and every move he makes.
