Travis Osmond is the oldest son of Merrill and Mary Osmond. Early on in life, he experienced the mania involved in touring with his parents, uncles, and aunt Marie. When his time came to solo as a bass player in the band behind The Osmonds, and in front of a giant crowd, he froze. The fear of talking to his dad after the show, and Merrill's unexpected advice, changed Travis' performance days forever.
