ABOUT
M A R V I L L L . M A R T I N
Marvill "Marvillous Beats" Martin has found his stride as a much sought-after hip-hop violinist who has captured the hearts of thousands on social media. He is also a songwriter and composer, sharing his talent in live performances and recordings. The 2017 architecture graduate began playing the violin at eight years old in New Rochelle, NY where he grew up in a Jamaican household as one of five siblings. Martin’s fusion sound of classical training and hip-hop appreciation has caused a viral stir and created a demand at high-profile weddings, political events, major label collaborations, and star-studded grand opening events. His broad repertoire includes songs by Bill Withers, Alicia Keys, Billie Eillish, Ed Sheeran, Earth Wind Fire, and Silk Sonic. His electric violin, accompanied by a wide variety of original beats, adds to the fun and excitement to all events and venues he plays in. After only a few minutes of conversing with Marvillous Beats, you realize one of the secrets to his growing appeal exists in his warmth, authenticity, and ability to serve as a bridge to connect things that would otherwise be fragmented.
