AYVI
With 20 years in the entertainment industry, appearing in several hit TV series and even playing Keith Sweat on VH1’s *The Breaks*, **AYVI** has always found his way back to the studio, producing and creating his next hit.
Born in Southside Jamaica, Queens, New York, AYVI found himself traveling the world at a young age, yet he never lost touch with his talents as an artist. He’s known for his unique vocals, his passion for both his Puerto Rican and Jamaican roots, and his love for expressing his cultural experiences through his music.
Marcus, born and raised with deep Texas roots, discovered his love for music at the age of 13—writing poetry, recording his original songs on cassette tapes, and always dreaming of being the next big artist to come out of Texas. After moving to Houston to dive into the music scene, Marcus played several shows and pushed multiple singles in the Houston and Dallas markets, collaborating with notable Houston artists and even landing one of his singles on a Netflix series.
Eventually, Marcus found himself back in the corporate world to survive, but he never let go of his passion. In the back of his mind, the music was always there. In 2024, he reconnected with Ayvi and realized that his hunger for music had only grown stronger.
