Quote from Travis:

“I loved Kenny’s music from the moment I heard it and showed everyone it. We connected and kept talking about working together. ‘Bout a month ago we got in the studio for a few hrs and it was magic. That’s when we wrote ESTELLA, rest is history.”

Quote from Kenny:

“it feels like there is always a place and time for everything except there really being a place for time – more so honing in on pictures never doing justice and the funny irony of the public’s emotion towards my seat in the industry right now”
