Mavin began when actor AJ Trauth decided he wanted to be a rock star. He called up his two brothers Pete and Chris, and friend Mike T, and asked them to move to Los Angeles and start a rock and roll band. Due to their conservative Chicago upbringing, Pete, Chris, and Mike all agreed that this was the wisest career move a young adult could make, and caught the next train to California! Be it sheer natural talent or just plain old dumb luck, Mavin actually broke through the thick icy shell of the music industry and has gone on to do some pretty awesome things.
We filmed a part on a major motion picture and got put on the soundtrack (Herbie: Fully Loaded), recorded the theme song for a hit Disney animation series (Jake Long: American Dragon), recorded and self-released 2 CDs (Blu and Desperate Side of Me), and jammed out at some of the hippest music venues in Hollywood (House of Blues, the Roxy Theater, Whisky A Go Go, the Key Club, the Knitting Factory, The Gig, The Cat Club), and even getting out of town with our show (Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, PA).
In front of the camera, behind the scenes, and on the stage, Mavin has taken the spotlight, displaying their ability to draw and captivate large audiences across the U.S. and the momentum is building. The international recognition and success of lead singer, AJ Trauth, have only added to Mavin’s mass appeal among teens and young adults. AJ is one of the four lead actors in all three seasons of Disney's enormously popular series "Even Stevens" and has had many other notable acting jobs since.
Talks of national televised tours and high profile live performances have provided Mavin the opportunity to build on that success and the industry is taking notice.
