Texan Travis Garland was a member of NLT (Not Like Them), a pop group guided by Chris Stokes (Immature, B2K) that collaborated with a number of high-profile producers and recorded an album that was not released. Following the 2009 split of the group, which also featured future Glee star Kevin McHale, Garland developed a solo career. In 2010, he appeared on American Idol and performed his song, "Believe," which was produced by Danja. After a handful of free promotional releases, he released his debut album, Travis Garland, through Stereotypes Music in September 2013. Throughout the 14-track set, Garland switched between dance-pop, rock, and contemporary R&B. ~ Andy Kellman
