About

Jarvix is a singer-songwriter and one man band from Oklahoma City.

With an array of self-produced material released in the past three years, Jarvix defies easy genre categorization. From the whimsical musings of Hugh Manatee & Other Favorites to the emotional live takes of The Looper Sessions to the electronic ukulele-free satire of 130BPMEP, his albums show a diverse musical palette and a burning desire for experimentation.

In a live setting, he makes the most of a simple setup, which involves a looping pedal, a ukulele, a microphone, and a handful of instrumental odds and ends. With this, he crafts multi-layered live arrangements that engage spectators in both the songs and the processes behind them.

Since playing his first open mic in 2014, he has slowly gained a dedicated following that has led to opportunities both familiar and unique. He has become a regular in the local music scene, having played at all of the usual live music venues and arts festivals. However, he also has opened for Grammy-nominated duo Trout Fishing in America, helped run a popular variety open mic in the Plaza District known for its alt humor, and celebrated the American Pigeon Museum's first anniversary with back-to-back performances. The Oklahoma Gazette recently heralded him as "truly original".

Drawing inspiration from fellow musical outsiders like David Byrne (of Talking Heads) and Marrill Garbus (of tUnE-yArDs), Jarvix channels his unusual persona to not just entertain, but to also inspire others to embrace their inner weirdness.
