Marvin's songs are a tightrope walk between big dreams and the painful struggle for survival, with lyrics ripened in the storm.

As a former martial artist, Marvin Brooks used to box in the shadows. Now he returns confident of victory with a new mantra: I’ll be fine.

His 2021 single “Ghost” received invaluable support from 2WEI and popular DREAM SMP YouTuber SAD-ist, in which the video using Brooks' vocals went viral, as it trended on YouTube and continues to garner hundreds of thousands views a day, propelling the song to instant success on the internet.

The self-made R&B artist is hyper-focused on his musical journey. Brooks currently calls both Ghana and Berlin home and holds the special traditions and cultures from the two countries close to his heart. His dual-citizenship and hometown pride is a major creative muse in Brooks’ musical output. The natural entertainer and performer has already supported artists like Justin Timberlake and 50 Cent on their European tours. Spotify editors have shown Brooks love by way of adding him to prominent playlists including Feelin’ Good, The Flow, Acoustic Soul, Soul n’ the City, Ultra Gaming, and more.

Most recently, Brooks released "Fire" featuring his fellow Ghanian artist Worlasi. With a stunning music video set on the sunset-laden beaches of Ghana, the song is an ode to the worldly passion and eccentricity of West Africa and beyond.

With millions of total streams under his name already, Brooks finds himself comfortably paired with the award-winning German composing duo 2WEI and Los Angeles based music company Position Music for the next chapter of his fascinating creative odyssey. [ less ]
