McCoy was born and raised in Geneva, New York. In high school, he met Matt McGinley in his gym class, and the two bonded over their love of music. They decided to start a band, and played with other musicians until Gym Class Heroes was formed in 2001. Travis made his MTV debut in the summer of 2002, as he appeared on stage at the beach house on a standard nation-wide MC Battle that was held on the MTV show Direct Effect.
McCoy was arrested on July 1, 2008 after hitting a man on the head with his microphone. The man had been in the crowd at a concert in St. Louis when he shouted racial slurs at McCoy. McCoy asked the man, "What did you just call me?" As security was removing the man from the venue, McCoy brought the man on stage to call him out in front of the crowd. In a statement, McCoy's publicist said that the man hit McCoy in his knee, which was in a brace after he had suffered a recent strain
In early March 2008, McCoy opened up about his battles with opioids. He stated that he had been addicted to pharmaceuticals since he was 15 years old.
McCoy dated singer Katy Perry, who appeared as his girlfriend in the "Cupid's Chokehold" video and toured along with his band on the Warped Tour, on and off for several years. He had given a promise ring to Perry, and when asked if this was rehearsal for an actual proposal, McCoy shrugged with a grin. The two broke up in December 2008. They began dating again in April 2009. However, they broke up a few months later.
McCoy is a vegetarian.

I can tell you had bad dreams last night
Let me take you in my arms, you can cry, cry
Let me love you 'til you feel alright
'Cause I am yours, you are mine, you are mine, mine (yeah)
Not going anywhere, I am standing by your side (uh-uh)
I will love you 'til the end of time, time
I will love you 'til the day we die (let's go)
Don't fear, baby (uh-uh, uh-uh), 'cause you and me are golden
When you can't breathe (uh-uh, uh-uh), it's you that I'll be holdin' (yeah)
Yes, I'm all in, through thick and thin (yeah)
This is good loving (uh-huh, uh-huh) you and me are golden
I gotta give it to her, she got a mean goldeneye game
Honestly it's not a lot of O's to fit the rhyme scheme
But fuck it, for the sake of being overly cheesy
I think it's cute we both like our eggs over easy
And lately I've been losing at love
But when you lookin' in the Lower East Side
You're bound to find nothing but bad luck
Days can drift by, but I don't give a damn if you with me
Even if the earth exploded, I probably wouldn't notice
Never has another narrowed down the field to nada
Spend our days shopping at Target, 'cause she's not concerned with Prada
We make hand-me-downs look designer
Golden's in the eye of the beholder
Love ya, girl (love ya, girl)
Don't fear, baby (don't fear, baby), 'cause you and me are golden (you and me are golden)
When you can't breathe (let me feel you breathe), it's you that I'll be holding (yeah)
Yes, I'm all in (I'm all in), through thick and thin
This is good loving (this is good loving), you and me are golden
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah) you and me are golden
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah) you and me are golden
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah) you and me are golden
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah) you and me are golden
And honestly she ain't even gotta say much
I'll wait a whole day for that Midas touch
Minus the fact she's the finest eyelids could open to my highness
I'd travel the world and back in hopes to glow with you
She's the Patti Mayonnaise to my Doug Funnie
Every kiss is twenty four carats, no Bugs Bunny
I used to live wild (wild) she made me slow it down (down)
Who knows maybe one day, we'll have a golden child
Haha, and that's word to Eddie Murphy
I wouldn't trade places if you threatened to hurt me
Two peas in a pod that could never be open
I'm cool all by myself, but together we golden, yeah
You got that look in your eyes, eyes
I can tell you had bad dreams last night
Let me take you in my arms you can cry, cry
Let me love you 'til you feel alright (yeah)
'Cause I am yours you are mine, you are mine, mine (uh-huh)
Not going anywhere, I am standing by your side (never)
I will love you 'til the end of time, time (yeah)
I will love you 'til the day we die (come on)
Don't fear, baby (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah), 'cause you and me are golden
When you can't breathe, it's you that I'll be holding
Yes, I'm all in, through thick and thin (uh-huh)
This is good loving (whoo), you and me are golden
We are golden, I ain't going anywhere
(Yeah)
