MAV OF SOUL CAMP

REBECCA DE LA TORRE

Mav of sol camp is a Latin American rapper based out of Phoenix, Arizona. Born in Chicago to a Laredo born mother and a father born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Mav moved to Phoenix in 2000. He began his recording career in 2003 and later joined a Chicano Rap collective in Phoenix called Sol Camp. Mav won a Southwest Urban Music Award as well as Phoenix Hip-Hop award in 2011 based on his hard work and musical output. In 2010 The Phoenix New Times recognized MAV as an artist ready to succeed on the national level after a high profile collaboration with Juice of rapper The Game’s Black Wall Street label.

Rebecca De La Torre is a talented musician serving the Phoenix Metropolitan area, and arguably the most versatile singing pianist Phoenix has to offer. As a pianist and vocalist, she can provide beautiful live music for a variety of special events including private parties, wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions, corporate events, cocktail parties, and more.

The Rebecca De La Torre band is an electro-acoustic band which is also available for the same venues, playing your favorite music as requested, including a vast variety of artists from Alicia Keys and John Legend to Coldplay, the Eagles, and jazz greats like Sinatra.

ARTIST FROM ARIZONA

JASMINE HORMEZ WILLY NORTHPOLE Cinque has a more lyrical style but still manages to intergrate a hardcore Gangsta Rap theme into his music. He is closely associated with ManUp Squad and fellow member, Willy Northpole. He has released numerous mixtapes and even a street album called “Angel Dust” and has also been known to collaborate with Phoenix rapper Hot Rod who is currently signed to G-Unit Records. Whatever Arizona has in store for it’s future in HipHop, I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of Q.

Coming straight outta South Phoenix, Northpole’s blend of West Coast Gangsta Rap and hot club tracks can easily be identified as the most popular and notable artist thus far. He is certainly paving a new road for Arizona artists, especially with his 2008 break-out hit ‘Body Marked Up’ which boasts the tales of tattooed criminals and thugs. Willy Northpole also signed to Ludacris’ label, DTP. Hopefully he hangs in there, kicks out some bangers and drops an album.
