Jarvis HollowellMemphis Recording Connection

Major: Audio Engineering


I was born Jarvis E. Hollowell on August 27, 1984 in Memphis TN.  The middle child of four my interest in music started very early singing in the church choir.  I am a singer/songwriter/rapper/producer whose traveled the US trying to break into the music industry. I lived all over  Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas where i found myself homeless living out of my car.  i saved up enough money to get back home to Memphis to continue my musical journey.  I joined different groups such as a rap group, a rock band, choirs, and musicals.  Where ever there was a stage i wanted to be on it.  My musical journey has led me to focus more on my own passion, dreams, aspirations, and musical education instead of others. Stay Focis is my stage name and my brand.  It represents anyone and everyone whose tired of taking a back seat in life and focus more on driving full speed to your destiny.  God has truley blessed me with a wife who i live to love and  incridible talents that i plan to put to use.  Stay Fo!
