Marvalis

Marvalis Marlon Fleming Born on September 23, 1982 in Olongopo City, Philippines. Marvalis grew up in Brooklyn, New York but lived most of my life in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Virginia. He is the oldest of five children. Marvalis dad introduced him to music at a young age and he never looked back. As a kid, Marvalis wanted to sing and rap due to those musical hits his dad use to play back in the day. He immersed himself into the hip-hop culture as a young child. That’s when young Marvalis began to write lyrics. The stage name “Marvalis” is a spinoff of his name Marlon. In 2000 he was signed to MiProd entertainment located in Norfolk, Virginia. However, that deal quickly came to an end. In 2002, he was signed to another independent label Clear Water Entertainment. With this label, the radio debut of the song titled “Go Off “was released in 2007. Marvalis performed on various tours under his born name Marlon Fleming but later made the decision to change his name to Marvalis. To expand the Marvalis brand, the decision was made to do music independently thus releasing 7 videos on YouTube starting in 2011 throughout 2012. Marvalis often has the opportunity to write for artists such as Fase with the self-title release Bedroom Swag. To heighten his career, Marvalis recently moved his wife Monique and their 7 children to Atlanta, Ga. Marvalis Marlon Fleming values his family life and is proud of the fact in spite of the statistics of African American men his children are all by his wife. Atlanta is where he met Dexter Phillips the President of the new independent label 1Nation Records. Under this new independent label, Marvalis is releasing his first album entitled “Simply Marvalis”. Marvalis vision is to be an unique artist showcasing & releasing unpredictable hip-hop.
