Rob Dyrdek, Pharrell Williams & Travis Barker
SPIN sat down with Travis Barker to talk about his upcoming projects as well as what he’s learned from watching Pharrell, and why 2019 is a great year for artists who dare to dream.
You’ve worked with so many artists across such a breadth of sounds and styles. Are there people you’ve collaborated with whose creative approach resonated with you or taught you something?
Being in the studio with Pharrell is really inspiring. He could have the most generic sounds pulled up, just putting ideas down, and it automatically sounds good because it’s Pharrell. I don’t even know how to explain it.I’ve learned over the years that ideas are key. If you’re building a track, you can put a million ideas down–put whatever, put 10 ideas down, and then maybe you need three or four sounds in the entire track or beat. Just start taking away, start muting things, figure out what works. Just be creative, be spontaneous, and have enough musical knowledge to get your ideas recorded, and you’re straight.
Travis has been interviewed by Rob Herrera where he talked about his latest collaborations and working on a new Blink 182 album with Pharrell among others. Check out the 5:20 part in the video below where Travis also reveals that the new album will have the same vibe as their self titled album from 2003, I can’t really wait to hear that collaboration!

Red Card To Child Labour. Be part of the global movement to end child labour. Join the ILO’s Red Card to Child Labour campaign by signing up for our Thunderclap social media event. All children have the right to enjoy their childhoods — to grow up in a loving environment, to play, to go to school, and to reach adulthood one step at a time.
This is not the reality for an estimated 168 million child labourers worldwide who can be found toiling in sweatshops and mines, on construction sites and on farms. Some are recruited as child soldiers, others as drug traffickers, some are sexually exploited. These children will never get the chance to make their own choices and thrive. It is unacceptable that millions of children today are trapped in this life. ILO’s Red Card to Child Labour gives a voice to those children.
On the International World Day against Child Labour, on 12 June, Red Card to Child Labour will be launched worldwide with an original song written and recorded by several major artists who are supporting the cause. The campaign will also be commemorated during the opening of the Football World Cup in Brazil on the same day. Join the #RedCard campaign and share our message: All together against child labour.
