I make music to affect lives as much as music has affected mine. All I need is one person who appreciates good music to help me get to the next level. There may not be such a thing as destiny..maybe only people that make it and people who didn't try hard enough. I will make it. - HAVi HAVi is an independent hip hop artist from Washington state. As a writer, producer, and performer, HAVi is known for his standout lyrical ability, unique production and realistic subject matter. At the beginning stages of his music career, HAVi independently promotes himself on Facebook and Twitter, looking for fans that appreciate music about real life emotions and experiences. HAVi has opened up for nationally known artists such as Raekwon (from the Wu-Tang Clan), Crooked I (from supergroup 'Slaughterhouse') and has also performed with well known artists from Washington state. "When it is all said and done, I plan to go down as one of the greatest to ever do it. All I need is people that actually show support for my music and believe they can make a difference." Currently, HAVi is promoting his, entirely self-produced album, "Self-Portrait." Not only is this album called, 'Self-Portrait' because every aspect of it was created by HAVi (writing, recording, production), it also represents everyone's attempt to create their own 'Self-Portrait using the social networking tools of today. "Everyone seems to be trying to create their own "Self-Portrait" to make sure they leave their imprint on the world before they are gone. I hope this album will leave a mark I am remembered for."
