Shazam Meets…T. Mills

Travis Tatum Mills aka T. Mills has had a great few years. Starting out as a bedroom producer at the tender age of 17 he now has a string of releases under his belt and a forthcoming full length album due for release in 2012 via Columbia, the self confessed creator of Hip-Pop seems to be on a roll.
T. Mills recently took time out from his current European tour to stop by at Shazam HQ and talk about his influences, his plans for 2012 and his love of Tattoo’s.
