Marvin Competition: Name our album and receive a free copy! Go to www.themarvinproject.com for more details. The Marvin Project was formed at the end of 2000 in a pub in Essex. They are an amalgamation of people, one boy and one girl. Jayson Orr is the driving force behind the operation, providing the guitar and synths and generally doing extremely talented things with the production. Tina James provides the vocals and lyrics; sometimes sweeping, sometimes strong, sometimes just plain twisted. The music itself pulls influences from blues, trip-hop, dance, reggae and electronica and comes out as a gorgeous concoction, reminiscent of a cross between a movie soundtrack and a bit of a rave-up.
