Travis Landon Barker (born November 14, 1975) is an American musician, producer (record producer), and the drummer for the band Blink-182, as well as The Transplants. He was a frequent collaborator with DJ AM and together they formed TRV$DJAM.

After the split of his first punk rock band, Feeble, Barker began playing for The Aquabats in 1996 as The Baron Von Tito. He recorded one album with them, The Fury of the Aquabats!, in 1997. His career took off when he joined up with pop punk band, Blink-182 in 1998. Barker became known for his mohawk (mohawk hairstyle) and his tendency to perform shirtless, revealing a multitude of tattoos. Barker has since established himself as a versatile drummer, producing and making guest appearances in music projects of numerous music genres including hip-hop (hip-hop music), punk rock, alternative rock, skate punk, pop (pop music) and country (country music). He has gained significant acceptance within the hip-hop community in particular and often collaborates with artists to compose rock-tinged remixes to their songs.

He founded clothing company Famous Stars and Straps in 1999 and LaSalle Records in 2004. Companies such as DC Shoes and Zildjian cymbals have co-designed products in his name.

His solo album is currently set for release in September, 2010
