Introducing Garvie a songwriter who spent too much time playing video games… now he’s trapped in one. That’s OK though – life in the real world wasn’t for Garvie. He spent years writing for other artists and cutting his teeth on the London live scene, but the lightbulb moment came when the gigs stopped, the Gameboy turned on and he learned to produce in 2020. Garvie was forced to immerse himself in creating a sound of his own for once. What emerged was a sound world that mixes the signature guitar grooves and bigger choruses of his past writing projects with the synths and cheeky 8-bit throwbacks of his new videogame existence. This sound is complemented by his animated DIY videos which use retro gaming graphics and Instagram filters to tell his story. Lyrically Garvie is straight-talking with a touch of the dramatic and an unshakeable dry sense of humor. These are complemented by a voice that Frank Turner once commended for its authenticity. With his first four singles, Garvie has received airplay from BBC Radio 6 (Tom Robinson called his first single ‘Bad Person’ an ‘irresistible earworm’), consistent airplay on all releases from BBC Introducing and also regular airplay from Amazing Radio in the UK and US. Garvie is currently working with LA-based label Beformer on his upcoming releases. With the release of his newest track “Decisions Decisions,” he projects a sparkling sound that will definitely intrigue your ears. Beginning with dreamy instrumentation leading onto his sweet and bright vocals he captures the song fully. Explaining the track a bit further it’s about how Garvie is terrible at decision-making – he wrote this to convince himself that 90% of the decisions he makes are meaningless. That’s a lie… but he can’t make choices when he thinks they’re important. To the vocals and production, this single will surely have you dancing and singing along to the lyrics. It would be just great for a drive during sunset or a day out on the beach. Go stream “Decisions Decisions” and check out his discography which is filled with amazing music.
