GhosMerck

Hip-Hop/Rap
A.k.a. Tavaris Mitchell

Born and raised in Suffolk, Virginia, Tavaris "GhosMerck" Mitchell formerly of the peanut city's popular group ILL INDIES has ventured out as a solo artist. While in the group, GhosMerck has rocked stages for the likes of Memphis Bleek, Swizz Beats, Young LA, Rah Digga, and Styles P. GhosMerck has also graced the stage before the Legendary Rakim, who complimented him on his unorthodox style. Tavaris has also worked with some of the industry’s Platinum selling producers such as Roosevelt "Binkdog" Harrell lll, and Nottz Raw. To add to his accomplishments, Grammy Award Winning Music Supervisor, Paul Stewart, selected 3 songs written by Ghosmerck for licensing, plus one of his recent tracks was chosen for inclusion on Fuse TV in 2013. Due to his unorthodox style and clever word play, GhosMerck has been coined as Andre 3000's protégé. Writing singles like "Love Express”, “Playground to the Mic check", (which is featured on DTP's Disturbing Tha Streetz Mix tape)," Down" and more than 85% of the songs performed by the group ILL INDIES, it became clear it was time to make a change. Along with the change came a driven, more focused GhosMerck, determined to show the world his individuality. His lyrical style and quick/ slick cadence makes you want to rewind those verses of his over and over. GhosMerck has a style and sound that has him in a lane all by himself recently catching the attention of powerhouses, Timbaland and Missy Elliott, landing him a spot on the coveted Timbaland Thursdays website. If you want to hear a real lyricist, make sure you follow GhosMerck on his journey to becoming the next big thing in hip hop.
