DJ Marvel
Michael Henry, better known as DJ Marvel, began deejaying as a hobby just after high school. Drawing inspiration from the movie Juice and it's depiction of hip-hop culture, he knew he wanted to be involved with this movement in any way possible. “I tried my hand in all the elements, but deejaying seemed to develop naturally. Watching crowds react to the music I loved to play solidified for me that this was wanted I wanted to do for a living.”
Marvel’s broad tastes are evident at his trendsetting nightclub residencies where you’ll hear everything from Hip Hop to Dance to Motown. He’s also been billed alongside artists such as Lil Jon, Slum Village, South Rakkas Crew, Cosmo Baker, Z-Trip, Nas, Drake and the late DJ AM.
When Marvel isn’t performing he stays busy doing various guest mixes & creating original tracks. He has recently been featured on Mick Boogie and Terry Urban’s Press Play Show on Shade 45 (Sirius/XM), Straight Goods on The Beat 94.5 (Vancouver), and the Truth Mix Show on Flow 93.5 (Toronto). In addition, Marvel's DJ-edits & remixes can often be heard in other DJ's sets around the world. For now he’s happy to be a part of the thriving Canadian music scene and to have the opportunity to travel and play events like the Super 7 Party at SXSW and The Rub in New York City. But once those days are over he hopes to be producing music on a tropical island with his crew "The Freshest".
