Riding on the purple reign of his latest single ‘The King” Vancity-based trap-hop artist Mauvey will feature at the Paquin Showcase Saturday at the Dakota Tavern.

Mauvey has a global reach and influence in his tracks, being born in Ghana, but growing up in Britain, and now based in Vancouver. There are tinges of high-life, hiphop, EDM, a Tyler The Creator alt-popness, with a subtle but intense anger along the lines of the grime rapper Bob Vylan. His ‘The Florist’ mixtape dropped in 2021 is available for a listen below the visualizer for ‘The King’.
