Lavi$h

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.l.Y. studio monitor, cutting

tracks on the computer with headset mics.

He uploaded music online at a prolific 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.
