MAVI Interview: His New Album 'Shadow Box', Going on Tour, Getting into Art + More

#MAVI #INTERVIEW #BeansandBars This is probably our most requested return of a guest to our channel, and we couldn't be happier to welcome back MAVI. We traveled to North Carolina to sit down with Mavi to discuss his new album 'Shadow Box', catching up since our last interview, him about to go on tour, what he has been dealing with over the past few years, his previous project 'Laughing So Hard it Hurts', and the art that inspired the aesthetic of Shadow Box.
