Last year I interviewed Travis McCoy who is the lead singer of the amazing hip hop band Gym Class Heroes. Travis is the lead vocalist with the band. They have had huge hits with "Cupid’s Chokehold", "Clothes Off" and "Cookie Jar". Travis also features on the Kelly Rowland hit, "Daylight". So he has done pretty well for himself! 

Gym Class Heroes played the Academy in Dublin on September 15^th last year and I got a few minutes with Travis backstage before the gig. We had a great chat! He was telling me all about making their current album “The Quilt”, he talked about Estelle, Pink Floyd, Daryl Hall, the Arctic Monkeys and I was very privileged to be let in on a little secret about the next single! Plus, find out why Travis would never go near sampling again after releasing Cupid’s Chokehold which uses samples from Supertramp’s "Breakfast in America".
