Travis Greene is an American gospel musician and Pastor of Forward City Church in Columbia, South Carolina.

Greene was born, Travis Montorius Greene, on January 17, 1984, in Delaware, to mother, Charleather Greene, as a still-born, yet he was resuscitated. His father died of an aneurism, when Greene was just a boy, circa 1989, As a child, Travis was pronounced dead after falling four floors out of a window in Germany. God miraculously revived him back to life after his mother prayed relentlessly. 

At just five years old, Travis was given a passion for music by God after the sudden death of his father. In addition to playing several instruments, he also writes and produces multiple genres of music. By living in culturally diverse regions and experiencing various church denominations, Travis embraces his unique gift for adaptability. He grew up in Warner Robins, Georgia, before relocating with his wife, Jackie, to Charlotte, North Carolina to further his ministry.

Greene is now located in Columbia, South Carolina, where he is starting a church, Forward City, while the couple are raising their children.

Music Career

Growing up with a mother who was a minister and choir director, Travis Greene says that gospel music “was like oxygen in our house, always part of my life,” and no artist inspired him and strengthened his passion for God more than 12-time Grammy winning legend Kirk Franklin.

Now an inspirational trailblazer in his own right, Greene’s masterful fusion of music and ministry these past few years prompted Franklin to anoint him as one of the artists who are the “future of gospel music.” Continuing on his global mission to “bring the cool back to the worship experience, and get people, especially the unchurched, excited,” the two time Grammy nominee debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart with then latest album Crossover.
