WHO I AM

WHO I AM *
I’m Marco Pavé.
I am a Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist, arts entrepreneurship consultant, and storyteller.
I create from a Memphis and Mississippi blues legacy, centering Southern Black life, spirituality, and radical imagination.
When I’m not writing raps, screenplays, or essays, I enjoy collaging, playing chess, and iPhone photography.
What I do
My work spans hip-hop, theatre, screenwriting, literary nonfiction, and audio drama. I explore power, oppression, ancestral connection, generational trauma, and collective healing across forms and disciplines.
Alongside my creative practice, I partner with universities, arts organizations, and cultural institutions to design residencies, workshops, and collaborative programs that give communities hands-on access to real-world artistry.
Every project I take on is an opportunity to usher in new realities and radical possibilities.
