BIO

"Michael Wavves pushes the boundaries of traditional genres of music, creating an exciting new blend of multiple styles that is as emotionally potent as it is commercially appealing."

- Marissa Medina, One West Magazine

"If you are looking for Hip Hop roots, honest messages, and alternative-pop appeal; look no further than rapper/singer Michael Wavves."

- Cayla Pavlovec, Her Campus

Michael Wavves’ ascension has been of the ‘long-game’ design. The central Pennsylvania based artist first emerged in 2015, releasing singles and music videos online while being a middle school history teacher in his hometown of Lebanon, Pennsylvania.

Influenced by contemporary Hip-Hop artists including Drake, Lil Wayne, Mac Miller and Kid Cudi, along with vocalists like Post Malone, The Weeknd, mgk, and Mike Posner, and bands like Angels & Airwaves, Good Charlotte, and Yellowcard; Wavves bends genres to create a smooth blend of nostalgic alternative pop music and melody-oriented Hip-Hop fused with emotionally grabbing and moody guitar driven instrumentation.

This combination of styles is accented by an energetic and inspirational live show, which Wavves began building through grassroots touring after the release of his debut EP Nights on Vine in 2018.   In 2019, he returned with the EP Purple Heart, which debuted at #12 on the iTunes charts.
