Marvin is a music writer focused on sound, substance, and everything soul music related. He covers hip-hop, R&B, soul, and genre-defiant pop—often with a spotlight on rising independent talent. Rooted in the South but writing with a global ear, his reviews lean into the details. He’s got a soft spot for music that lingers and a bias toward artists who bring more to the table than just a beat and a hook. marvin.twiggs@outlook.com
