Giles Travis II: Chicago's Purpose-Driven Creator Turning Beats into Bears Anthems

Go Home Trav's real name is Giles Travis II. He's a marketer, entrepreneur, and artist who serves as Chief Marketing Officer at Brand Breakers LLC and founder of Giles Creative Lab, where he blends graphic design, strategy, and community impact.

Travis originally wrote it as a rap song but realized it would only reach a certain audience and felt the song was bigger than that. He wanted to bring people together authentically, so he turned to the blues because it's quintessentially Chicago - soulful, communal, and carries the city's history and heart.

The song exploded organically with fans creating viral hype edits that amassed thousands of likes and views on social media. ESPN 1000's David Kaplan featured it in player shoutouts, 670 The Score interviewed Travis, and Reddit threads called for it to be blasted at Soldier Field, while streams surged on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music.

Giles Travis II and Sports Mockery's ownership are all alumni of St. Rita High School on Chicago's Southwest Side. This shared connection led to early conversations about Travis contributing original tracks to the new 'Untold Chicago' podcast.

Travis released 'Good Better Best,' a 3:07 motivational track about relentless improvement in the face of adversity. He's also created other tracks like 'Fire Inside' and 'Step Into Greatness' as part of larger projects, with a whole package of Chicago Bears songs and ringtones available on his official site.
