A statement from Mavi:
No one can say it better than Mavi Phoenix himself, so here is the statement he put on his Instagram page yesterday:
Mavi Phoenix, Instagram, November 9th, 2021
“On 25th February 2022 my sophomore album ‘Marlon’ will drop.
After releasing my debut album last year I started taking testosterone and took a year off from posting, only concentrated on writing new music. I had no idea what would happen to my body or my voice, surely doctors can tell you what might happen but everyone‘s body responds differently to synthetic hormones. But I knew that this path would save my life, I knew that becoming me, Marlon, was what I had to do. Music was and will forever be such a big part in my life, and being able to continue with what I started is the biggest blessing. I don‘t want to lie, sometimes it might look like starting medical procedures will make a transgender person the happiest ever and that‘s the end of the story. True story is I have many moments where I feel alone, scared and totally overwhelmed with everything that has been going on in the last years. I was a bit naive and underestimated the amount of transphobia in our world, and I will have to let go of the wish of becoming biologically male, because that‘s just not what I am. I am a TRANS man and that’s totally okay and valid. When thinking about the album title I was unsure if „Marlon“ was a bit too easy, too predictable.. But for me this isn‘t just a name. It was a light in the dark, something to hold on to, a dream. Just like music always was to me. Thank you for your support, always ❤️❤️❤️“
