May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

As a musician and a drummer, if there's one thing that sets Travis Barker apart, it is the fact that he's willing to experiment and work with as many artists as he can. In May 2021, the Guardian called Barker "the most influential person in music right now." Midway through 2021, he had already worked on at least 25 songs that year and collaborated with artists like Lil Huddy, Willow Smith, Bebe Rexha, and more.

Also, the musician doesn't get too picky about the kind of artists he works with, meaning that his body of work is pretty versatile. He's made music with Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, and drummed for James Arthur, Pink, and Britney Spears, among many others. 

He is self-aware as a musician as well. Barker told Variety, "I have my own drum sound. Where some drummers are good at sounding like everyone else, I definitely have a signature that applies to all genres. That's noticeable."

He added that when he decides to make music with someone, he puts in a lot of effort and communicates with them as much as he can, saying, "Whenever I work with someone, there's a lot of talking, as well as doing, that goes into it. You have to have a connection like that to warrant that trust."
