   About Marv Ellis




Marv Ellis
N.W. Hip hop




A poet from the great northwest, who represents the final stages of hip-hop’s growth across North America.

Marv Ellis has been playing live music for the last ten years, breaking down genre borders with his abilities to blend his message into anything.

Currently he is one of the hardest working emcees on the west coast, having performed over a hundred shows since the beginning of 2009.

He has been paying all the bills with his talent for the last three years, independently releasing three full length solo albums, as well as two collaboration albums, one with Lafa Taylor, and one with Portland’s Male artist of the year, Keegan Smith.

He has assembled a touring band with drums, congas, keys and bass.

Every player in his band is a veteran of thrilling entertainment.

The live show can also be digital with Dj Dv8.

Over the years, Marv Ellis has shared the stage with Michael Franti, Nas, Bone, Krs-One, Blackalicious, Mr. Lif, Speech of Arrested Development, Tre of Pharcyde, Living Legends, Lyrics Born, Souls of Mischief, Ozomatli, and Chuck D.

He raps in English,

with a touch of Spanish at times, adding vocal scratching and beat boxing, while singing all his hooks.

According to Myspace.com, Marv Ellis is the 1 unsigned soul artist in Oregon.

He is also the 1 unsigned fusion artist in Oregon, while ranking 7, as a unsigned Hip hop artist.

He self produced his new album, “Mental Picture Machine” in his room, taking what he learned his last album, “Dream Catcher Juice”, and applying it to his song writing method.

Overall, Marv Ellis just wants you to see and hear his art. He molds and manipulates words and cadence structures with the best of them.

He has a band built specifically for festivals called the ‘Imaginary Friends.’ They can form an orchestra of up to ten people, with strings, two drummers, keys, horns, guitars, a Dj, and twin back up singers.

Marv Ellis also has visited over a dozen schools, speaking about what he does, while inspiring countless youth over the course of the last eight years.

If you Google ‘Marv Ellis’ and the words ‘Hip-hop’, ten pages of history will surface.

He is a spoken word artist at the Oregon Country Fair every year, where he entertains thousands of people with one microphone.

He has always kept his promise, keeping the message thought provoking, conscious, and real.
