MVI embodies music as the universal language of humanity.

MVI (Mark Vickness Interconnected) is a groundbreaking San Francisco Bay Area-based world chamber jazz fusion quintet led by composer/modern fingerstyle guitarist Mark Vickness. At its core, MVI embodies the conviction that music is the universal language of humanity - interweaving diverse cultures and emotions into a cohesive, transcendent soundscape. With over 1.4 million Spotify streams since their first album release in 2023 and over 1.3 million views of their videos on YouTube, MVI has established itself as a major progressive instrumental fusion group.

Together with elite collaborators, including two-time Grammy nominated violinist Myra Choo, cellist Joseph Hebert, chart-topping bassist Dan Feiszli, and multi-wind instrument phenom Jesse Levit, MVI crafts instrumental compositions that are both technically stunning and emotionally resonant. Their music offers a deep reflection on life’s tapestry - exploring the full spectrum of emotional colors, all while uniting listeners through shared experience.

In short: MVI doesn’t just perform music, it forges meaningful connections, reminding us that we’re all part of an interconnected human story.
