Paper states:

Though he’s only 24, the rapper, born Jacques Webster, has been working hard to achieve this kind of success for years. The son of a drummer and grandson of a music scholar who grew up in Missouri City,Texas, Scott recalls being bitten by the music bug early, but his eureka moment didn’t happen until he was 17 with the release of Kid Cudi’s acclaimed debut Man on the Moon:The End of Day. “I was like whoa, this is a route you can take like therapy,” he recalls, comparing Cudi’s sounds to an escape from reality. Under pressure from his parents to go to college, he enrolled at the University of Texas at San Antonio before transferring to the University of Texas at Austin, but says he often blew the money his parents sent him for “books and shit” on studio equipment and flights to NewYork and Los Angeles for meetings with record executives. He eventually dropped out of school to pursue music full-time and re-christened himself “Travis Scott,” a moniker inspired by a favorite uncle.
