Midtown Mav

Name: Mavin MC; Vivid; Rafael; Rafa



Mavin MC has been creating music and kicking freestyles since elementary. His dream of becoming a musician began when his parents bought him a karaoke machine. He fell in love with it immediately, spending many hours keeping himself and others entertained with freestyles, beatboxing, and pretend radio shows. Music has always played a major role in Mav's life. In elementary he learned to play the clarinet and trumpet, and eventually started experimenting with hip hop beats early into high school. After saving funds from his first job, he bought an MPC2000XL, and since then has been making bangers for Illuminous 3. Purchasing the MPC' was only the first of many home studio investments. He now owns his own studio, and records regularly. Currently, he's learning new production techniques, and writing new material for future projects. As far as emceeing goes, he couldn't be more comfortable with his style and voice, however, he still pushes himself to become a better artist overall.
