Published on March 19, 2021

Lil Mav is a music producer with a distinctive sound and diverse creative background. He is based in The Bronx, New York City. He has been passionate about music ever since he was very young, and some of his most important influences include seminal artists like Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Akon, Drake, Speaker Knockerz. He loves to create songs that are melodic but also energetic, going for a truly distinctive, one-of-a-kind vision.

As they say, some of the best people in the industry start quite young, and this is also the case. In fact, Lil Mav got his start in production when he was only 16. Then, he discovered a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) named FL Studio, and it didn’t take long before he fell in love with it and mastered it completely!

Lil Mav’s popularity as a producer and music industry personality is skyrocketing, as his Youtube channel is currently counting over 10.000 subscribers, with more than a million views on his videos! Recently, Lil Mav worked with well-known artist Ron Suno, and he produced his well-received studio single, Ball, which is now available on Youtube, and elsewhere on the web. This track is a perfect example of what it’s like to produce great hip-hop music, highlighting Lil Mav’s versatility and focus on creating sounds and beats that match the artist’s personality and vibe.

The song was also featured in the most recent video game from the NBA2K series: NBA2K21, which will undoubtedly expose Lil Mav’s production excellence to many new listeners from all over the world.

This year, Lil Mav is focusing on collaborating with more artists, and he is even planning to work with some very big names in the music industry! The past year or so has been quite a challenge due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. This was a difficult time for artists and producers in general, and it still affects so many in this industry. Lil Mav even had to struggle with a period of being homeless with nowhere to stay, as he passionately describes in a Youtube video, as a heartfelt message to his fans and supporters. Despite the difficult times, Lil Mav managed to bounce back due to his amazing talent and residence and because he has a strong following of supporters, who are just like a family to him!

Now, Lil Mav is ready to get back on the scene with more focus than ever before, taking his production to the next level and setting the bar higher.
