Travon “Trizzy” Howard is a recording artist, record producer, and artistic songwriter from Utica, New York. He broke into the hip-hop mainstream with his viral hit “My Own Style.” Trizzy issued the track — featuring FriO Isa Blaque over a Trizzy Beats production — in 2012. Due in part to the song’s online popularity, Trizzy released “My Own Style” as a single in 2013. After amassing a series of mixtapes between 2014 and 2015, Trizzy began Ruby Recordings and released his debut album “Winners Never Quit” in 2016. He began 2018 by releasing the single “I Won.” The single appeared on his second album, “My Name is Trizzy,” released in June 2018. Samie Bower and Freysh made appearances, as did AB Tazz, who was featured on the track “We Ain’t Gotta Rush.” In June of 2021, Trizzy collaborated with Tarentino of 808 Mafia and spawned the beat of “Two Phones,” which features fellow New York artist Tonee Marino.

In 2007, he developed the alias Trizzy from a family member. In the summer of 2009, he was apart of a local music group named Dub Club, producing 80% of the group’s music. He developed the alias Trizzy Beats when he started receiving local recognition for his involvement in Dub Club’s compilation series. In 2010 Travon took a short break from producing music and decided to develop his rapping skills to become a rapper. In 2011, while still enrolled in high school, Travon began uploading videos of instrumentals created in his bedroom on YouTube, including covers of contemporary hit songs along with occasional originals, for which he accomplished himself on FL Studio. Later on, he released his first single, “Young Dreams.” However, after a short period of using his stage name, he decided to change his name back to Trizzy.

After writing his first song at age five and teaching himself to create instrumentals at 12, Trizzy dedicated his childhood to making music. Despite realizing early on that he wanted to be a musician, he never saw himself as a performer and just wanted to make music, developing a stage fright.

Travon Howard graduated from Thomas R. Proctor High School in Utica, New York. Before graduating, Howard attended Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!), a groundbreaking and exciting program that transforms middle and high school students into real, confident entrepreneurs.
