MUSIC HISTORY
With his finger on the pulse of all things pop culture, Travis Mills is all about the discovery (and rediscovery) of music. Hailing from Riverside, California, Travis got his start playing acoustic guitar at age five and has been writing, recording, and releasing music solo and in bands since he was 14 (in 2020, he launched his latest project, girlfriends, with Goldfinger’s Nick Gross and John Feldmann). He’s a big alt/pop punk and rap fan, noting that “the energy from the punk rock scene [he] grew up in and hip-hop is very similar—it’s this DIY attitude that it takes to grow a rabid fanbase and do things on your own terms.” Mills brings that very same energy to his namesake show on Apple Music 1, describing it as “a place for new artists to come feel legitimized and veteran artists to feel cool again.” His goal? To be your go-to pop culture destination: “If it is happening in the world, it is happening on my show.” Don’t miss The Travis Mills Show every Monday through Thursday on Apple Music 1 at 4 pm LA/7 pm NYC/12 am LDN.

If at any time you wished you knew more about the inner workings of pianist and composer Robert Glasper, his Apple Music radio show In My Element is your justice. “The show gives me the platform to keep people in the loop of what’s happening, and it’s always new things, surprise things,” Glasper says. “It’s just kind of giving people a play-by-play of my life in that moment.” To record In My Element, Glasper is taking time out of the impossibly busy performing schedule that is his month-long “Robtober” residency at the Blue Note jazz club in NYC. That now five-year-old engagement has featured guests long revered in their respective lanes, names like Black Thought, Norah Jones, and Meshell Ndegeocello, some of whom Glasper hopes will be able to stop by for an episode. “I do so many things and there’s so much to talk about between all the different gigs that I play and different places I got to be and different projects I’m working on,” Glasper says. “A lot of people just want insight into that world, what it’s like to be Robert Glasper.”
