With a combination of powerful vocals, emotionally evocative instrumentals, and melodic rapping, South London-born MVLLY broke out to the world. Several singles with lyrics detailing the struggles of growing up fast in a high-pressure environment & feeling like “it’s only me” led him to start his music career. MVLLY was born in the South of London in 2003. His older brother Joshua was a few years ahead of him getting into the rap game, establishing himself under the name JOJOHD in 2018. MVLLY, still in his early teens at this point, was getting more interested in music as well. By 2022, he had posted his first song online, starting his career by uploading a video for his debut song, "Woke". He continued releasing new songs over the next several months, each one performing better than the last.
