In America, the title of National Treasure is perhaps the highest honor that any citizen can dream of to precede their name. Well meet Marvin L. McIntyre the Ambassador of Artist Development and the music industry’s Honorary National Treasure. For nearly three decades the Boston native has almost single handedly raised the standards of artist development while in the process launching and guiding the careers of an unparalleled list of superstars. Music stalwarts to include New Edition, T.I., Cash Money Millionaires, Pink, Keith Sweat, Boyz II Men, Xscape, Ciara, Lil’ Jon and the Eastside Boyz, Sean “P-Diddy” Combs, New Kids on The Block, TLC, Bell Biv Devoe, Babyface, Bobby Valentino, EnVogue, Keri Hilson, Monica, Jeffery Osborne, Latoya Luckett, Llloyd, Sammie, Pebbles, Dru Hill, After 7, Adrienne Bailon (former lead of both Cheetah Girls and 3LW), Kelly Price, Johnta Austin, OMG Girlz, Brutha, Teairra Mari, D. Woods of Danity Kane, Blu Cantrell, Kandi Buress (Real Housewives of Atlanta), American Idol finalist Diana Degarmo, and Heads of State. Heads of State is an all-star union of former leads of New Edition, Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, and Ralph Tresvant who have reunited under the invaluable guidance of the man largely responsible for both their success and longevity, the “Czar” of music Marvin McIntyre. A living testament to style and grace evident in his daily décor that is the personification of the perfectly styled gentleman is as much a part of the “Ambassador” as is his gift for refining talent.
Understanding the grave need for good old-fashioned artist molding is what prompted Marvin to establish Marvelous Artist Development Center (Marvelous ADC). A revolutionary artist development center founded in 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia, Marvelous ADC is a one of a kind superstar-training site that boasts an A-list staff of vocal stylists, choreographers, media trainers, fitness instructors, nutritionists, A&R’s, graphic designers, video directors, songwriters, producers, photographers, musicians, and make-up artists. Considered by many to be the “it” facility for top-notch artist development and music consulting are the reasons Marvelous ADC is the preferred site of choice for many of the major record labels in the U.S. and abroad. Nokio of the multi-platinum group Dru Hill was once quoted as saying “Marvin constantly making us take it from the top allowed us to go to the top”.
Believing he never saw a star he couldn’t make a superstar or superstar he couldn’t make a legend, is proven by the success of his clients who to date have collectively sold an eye-popping 360 million records, and have won 20 Grammy Awards. With his legacy firmly in tact, the icon that made a career out of teaching artists how to make hard work look and sound so effortless is positioned to go down in history as perhaps the greatest developer of talent to ever grace the music industry. Proving once and for all that no one other than Marvin L. McIntyre is worthy of the title of music’s first global “Ambassador”.
