Taevyn “Juvi Dizzle” Gabriel wrote his first song when he was 11 years old and hasn’t looked back since. Born on March 2nd, 1990 in Toronto, Ontario, Juvi bounced around from foster homes to group homes and spent some time in jail, yet he always worked on perfecting his craft. The birth of his daughter, Nyleah in 2010 provided the impetus to put his struggles and troubles behind him and to truly focus on his music full time. He’s since moved to Vancouver where he’s opened for various artists and completed his first mixtape, Dizzle Vol 1: H.O.M.E. which was released in January 2013. Inspired by producer Johnny Juliano, Juvi has embraced the style of hip-hop known as goonstep; a mixture of dubstep and hard trap beats for his mixtape. Through his music he has found an outlet to let the world in on his trials and tribulations and he hopes to inspire his fans to prevent them from making the same mistake he made.
