LAVI$H

Informed by everything from African stylings to hip-hop, pop, and even metal, Zambia-born and Winnipeg-raised singer, songwriter, and artist LAVI$H has quietly grinded towards a monumental introduction with champions in his corner such as Chubbs from OVO, Def Jam Recordings, and Drake.

As a kid, he emigrated from Central Africa to Winnipeg with his parents and six siblings in search of opportunity. Beyond adapting to the climate shock, he quickly gravitated towards music across the spectrum of genres. However, it would be Drake's "Headlines" that inspired him to pursue music. Soon, he transformed the family soundbar into a D.I.Y. studio monitor, cutting tracks on the computer with headset mics. He uploaded music online at a prolific pace and eventually landed on the radar of Chubbs from OVO. Chubbs heard LAVI$H's music and played it for his team. Before long, LAVI$H had decamped to Los Angeles, where he began recording at one of Drake's L.A. studio houses.

While honing his sound, LAVI$H developed his vision as an entrepreneur, building his CLUBBLVD brand in Toronto with Michael "Trizz" Williams and Christopher "Criti" Jack. Now, LAVI$H formally arrives with his anxiously awaited debut single "World In My Hands," a fusion of icy cinematic production and skyscraping vocal dynamics. It's most definitely LAVI$H's moment, and you're welcome along for the ride.
