Travis Nukes, professionally known as Tea2Frosty, is a rising prodigy in the music production and hip-hop world. Born on February 16, 2005, in Columbus, Ohio, Tea’s musical journey began at 17 when he started experimenting with beats out of boredom. His natural talent and determination to learn quickly paid off, and with guidance from underground producers like Glorytee, he developed a distinctive sound that set him apart in the local Columbus scene.
Standing tall at 6’3”, Tea is known for his larger-than-life presence, both in personality and talent. Initially focused on soccer at Westland High School, his dreams of a collegiate athletic career were sidelined by a senior-year injury. This turning point led him to pursue music full-time, leaving behind a Division 1 soccer offer from Ohio State and his job at Burger King.
Tea2Frosty quickly gained recognition by networking with artists across the country. Early collaborations with talents like Slump6s, Sgpwes, and Cayo set the stage for his rise, and his work soon extended to other notable names, including Maajins, Glaive, Summrs, Kashdami, Lunchbox, and Xhulooo. His breakout moment came in early 2024 when Lil Uzi Vert recorded a snippet over one of his beats, creating a buzz that propelled him into the underground spotlight.
His first solo release, “We Gone B Aii”, made waves in 2023, introducing his work to a broader audience and marking a pivotal moment in his career. Although the track was later removed, its impact was undeniable. Subsequent projects like his debut EP “2” and album “WAR” demonstrated his versatility as a producer, rapper, and engineer. Tracks like “V NECK” and “TOXIC” from “WAR” became fan favorites, showcasing his ability to blend high-energy beats with melodic introspection.
In November 2024, Tea released “21 Moons,” a collaborative EP with Cla1r, featuring standout tracks like “HOLD ON,” “MOVE,” and “UP NOW.” His growing discography reflects his ability to balance innovation with commercial appeal, further solidifying his presence in the industry.
Beyond his music, Tea takes pride in his journey from confusion to clarity, finding his true calling in music after years of searching. Seeing strangers enjoy his work, building a fanbase based on talent rather than personality, and making his family and teachers proud are milestones he holds close to his heart.
Tea’s unique branding—centered on vampires, the moon, and space—has captured the imagination of his fanbase, the “vvmps.” Influenced by anime like “Soul Eater” and his love for fiction, Tea’s aesthetic adds an otherworldly edge to his persona.
Currently signed to MTS (Menaces to Society) and supported by his managers Ashton Harp (Bodied) and Xavier Odom (Zay), Tea continues to push boundaries as a producer and artist. From collaborating with underground legends to gaining recognition from major names, his journey from hobbyist to industry force is a testament to his passion and resilience.
With a signature sound, an expanding fanbase, and a growing list of accomplishments, Tea2Frosty is poised to become a leading figure in the evolving world of hip-hop and production.
