Gavin Mays

Melding the fairly disparate genres of shoegaze-pop with hip-hop, Cities Aviv quickly caught the attention of the indie music scene. The Memphis-based rapper/musician Gavin Mays has a knack for pairing dreamy vintage samples with the appropriate guest vocalist and hard-hitting raps. While the music of Cities Aviv certainly can be said to jump around, Mays embraces his varied tastes, admitting that his music reflects his "scatterbrained" personality. However, with the fast-paced, rapidly changing music scene of today, this scatterbrained quality could prove to be an asset to Cities Aviv's rise to fame.
