Travis Niemela

Guitarist and Vocalist for We Might Die
Musician for 5+ years

Travis is genuinely the most talented musician you will meet and we are not exaggerating. He is one of those people who can play anything by ear and play any instrument. 100% serious. When he writes songs for the band, he sends them a fully composed track with synth, bass, melodies, and drums. His songs have a moody vibe that help balance Liv’s rage.

Travis grew up on the East Coast and has been absorbed in the punk and hardcore scene since teenhood. He grew up in New Hampshire and played the clarinet in school. He then moved to from coast to coast with his family, landing in Florida for a short stint, then California, and finally calling Las Vegas home.

Luckily for everyone, Travis decided to pick up a guitar about five years ago and dive head-first into music theory and rock-n-roll. When Travis decides to do something, he gives it all of his attention. So it is not surprising that he is also taking professional lessons to fully learn drums, bass, keys, and vocals. 

When Travis is not completely melting faces off on stage, he can be found spending time with his family on wilderness adventures. He also spends a lot of his time with his besties, Chance and Liv, and he enjoys other creative outlets like painting and designing intricate Halloween costumes. He is a huge horror buff and loves to be immersed in all things creepy and spooky. He also has aspirations to start his own mini comic book series. Not only is Travis a wicked musician, he is incredibly kind and supportive. He is fiercely dedicated to his friends, family, and music, and it absolutely shows in his work.
