Christopher "Mavyn" Jones, the Chicago-bred military brat, was born in Fairbanks, Alaska and started singing at age six but didn't start pursuing a professional career until the age of ten. At the age of twelve, after moving around so much, his mom finally left the army and the Jones family moved to Georgia to start new lives. Mavyn began to pursue his dreams in a small town called Hapeville (not far from College Park and East Point).

Mavyn is known for his futuristic sound, silky-smooth mixtures of a tenor voice, and not to mention signature riffs that compliments hard hitting tracks with unique kicks, snares & wild synths. He combines an extremely knowledgeable musical ear with raw but confident vocal dynamics that recalls a seasoning beyond his years. He's one of a handful of R&B artists today that actually knows how to produce, write, vocal arrange & engineer/mix his own material. "I listen to a lot of music, it doesn't matter whether it is old or new, and I don't rule anything out," he says about his influences that have brought him to an early musical maturity.
