A founding member of Realms of Rhyme, a rap group from Basingstoke, Mavrik began recording music from the late '90s. In 2006 Mavrik released a mixtape called Mavrik Presents... The Odyssey and recorded tracks for the debut Realms of Rhyme EP which are as yet unreleased. 

Akira started producing in 2000, using a variation of different production techniques his style changes from track to track, utilising both sampling and programing as well as playing and recording his own melodies, drum beats and bass riffs.
 
He studied the MPC inside out and is a Monster on that thing. Recording directly into the Drum Machine he can produce stunning results in a short ammount of time. When he is on that thing he and the machine become one and the result is like some good home cooking, food for the soul.
 
Akira has also studied a range of music production software and hardware, making the most of both the digital and analogue world, you can hear evidence of this in his complex arrangements.
From a young age he began familiarising himself with the termoniology and navigation of all the music software programs he could get hold of which makes his style limitless.
 
This guy is like a Chameleon when it comes to production and has the ability to capture every emotion with his picturesque compositions. He says he "owes that to growing up in a household with a diversity of music... Hip Hop, House, Soul, Lovers Rock, Roots Reggae, Dancehall, Drum and Bass, R&B and UK Garage". You can hear examples of his versatility on "Organic".
