The founder and lead singer of PushMethod – one of America’s most up-and-coming hip-hop rock bands – joins the podcast to recount his powerfully honest and inspiring life story and share some of the band’s music.
Originally from Springfield Massachusetts, Tavis was born an only child into a difficult marriage. He recounts how a troubled early life obsessed with guns eventually led him to joining The Marines for four years as a rifle expert.
Returning to New York from tours in the Middle East at the age of 22, he shares the extreme difficulties he had readjusting back into society and the generally poor levels of support proffered to today’s returning US military veterans.
He eventually found his way out of the darkness through music, which culminated in him both founding PushMethod (pushmethod.com) and launching the innovative new charity, Hoodies For The Homeless.
