Mavi Pheonix
Austria's Mavi Pheonix blends pop, rap, and R&B into a hard to classify but catchy mix. Born Marlene Nader to a family with Syrian roots, the rapper-singer/songwriter grew up attending English-speaking schools and listening to rock acts such as David Bowie and Queens of the Stone Age. When she was 11, she began playing guitar and producing her own music in GarageBand after her father gave her an old MacBook. Her musical tastes grew to include Kanye West and Drake, as well as Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga, and Nader chose the performing name Mavi Pheonix as a tribute to actor River Pheonix as well as for its symbolic meaning of renewal.
