Marvia Jean

MARVIA JEAN – “THE MODERN MAHALIA” RETURNS WITH A SOUL CRY FOR AMERICA

August 27, 2025 – Crawford, Mississippi / Chicago, Illinois — The sacred sound of gospel has found its modern echo in Marvia Jean, the powerhouse vocalist affectionately known as “The Modern Mahalia.” After years away from the spotlight, this Mississippi-born, Chicago-raised legend returns with her most urgent and spirit-filled release yet — “America, I Can’t Breathe.”

Written by her niece Sandra Anderson (O’Neal) and produced by 2x Grammy Award-winner Jonathan “Jon-John” Robinson (Babyface, Diana Ross, TLC), the single is a thunderous outcry wrapped in reverence — a modern-day spiritual that bridges the sorrow of protest with the hope of deliverance.

“Because the world needs a sound that can still heal,” Marvia shares. “I was called for this moment. This song is the sound of the season.”

With a voice that trembles the soul and testifies to the heavens, Marvia Jean’s music is a bridge between generations — carrying the fire of Mahalia Jackson, the conviction of the Civil Rights Movement, and the heart of a woman who has walked through both pain and praise. Her performance of “America, I Can’t Breathe” is more than music; it’s ministry, message, and movement combined — a divine lament and a declaration of hope in a wounded world.

 Born in the red clay of Crawford, Mississippi, raised on 300 acres of family land, and seasoned by the gospel traditions of Chicago’s South Side, Marvia Jean Brooks has lived her message. A prodigy who first sang at age five in Shotbag Elementary, she grew into a nationally celebrated church soloist and civic honoree, recognized for both her Mahalia-like tone and her lifelong service to community and faith.

Having turned down multiple record deals over the years, Marvia Jean is not chasing fame — she’s answering purpose. Her return marks not a comeback, but a calling fulfilled.

“When she sings,” says producer Jon-John Robinson, “it’s not performance — it’s prophecy. You feel history, healing, and heaven all at once.”

Offstage, Marvia’s warmth and humor are as magnetic as her music — a family matriarch, passionate bowler, and steadfast believer in giving life through love. Her personal mantra, “If you want to live, give life,” defines both her art and her impact.

“America, I Can’t Breathe” is now available on all major streaming platforms.

About Marvia Jean

Marvia Jean – The Modern Mahalia Returns

 

Marvia Jean Brooks, professionally known as Marvia Jean, is a once-in-a-generation gospel powerhouse whose voice echoes through time like a sacred ancestral drumbeat. Born in the rich red soil of Crawford, Mississippi, raised on 300 acres of Southern tradition, and sharpened in the cultural fire of Chicago’s South Side, her life is a testimony in motion — sung in full voice, wrapped in reverence, and delivered with divine purpose.

From the moment she opened her mouth as a five-year-old in Shotbag Elementary, there was no denying it: this little girl carried something holy. Her grandfather heard it first, when she would hum hymns to herself in the still of the night. What followed was not just a music career — but a lifelong calling.

Coined affectionately as the Modern Mahalia Jackson, Marvia Jean isn’t just keeping tradition alive — she’s breathing fire into it. With a thunderous vibrato, soul-deep storytelling, and a voice that can both soothe and shake a room, she has become one of the most revered unsung legends in gospel music. Her style is raw, regal, and righteously rooted in the spirituals and protest anthems that shaped America’s soul.

After turning down multiple label deals in the past, and earning honors from churches and civic organizations for her Mahalia-like sound and service, Marvia Jean is stepping back into the spotlight with fire in her bones. Her forthcoming release, “America, I Can’t Breathe,” isn’t just a song — it’s a soul cry for justice, a spiritual battle hymn for the modern age. Written by her niece, Sandra Anderson (O’Neal), and produced by 2x Grammy Award-winner Jonathan “Jon-John” Robinson (Babyface, Diana Ross, TLC), this record is positioned to become an anthem for a nation on its knees.

Why now? “Because the world needs a sound that can still heal,” she says. “I was called for this moment. This song is the sound of the season.”

Her music is a cross-generational bridge — rooted in the Black church, infused with Civil Rights conviction, and rising up with the soulful edge of R&B and old-school gospel fire. Whether singing “Trouble of the World” or igniting a crowd with brand new messages, she commands the stage like a prophet in pearls.

 Offstage, Marvia is unexpectedly fun — a passionate bowler, a nurturer of family, and a woman whose joy is as contagious as her music is powerful. Her personal mantra, drawn from the golden rule, says it all: “If you want to live, give life.”

To the dreamers, the faithful, the weary, and the rising generation — Marvia Jean is proof that it’s never too late to lift your voice and shift the atmosphere.

This is not a comeback. This is a calling fulfilled.

DeShawn Visionz

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Deshawn Visionz a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Deshawn , thanks for joining us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?

A meaningful project to me would be both of my full length projects to be honest. The first one is titled “Soulstice” and that is meaningful because it was the intro to me making my transition from California to Atlanta in 2021. I felt like the world was against me at the time with one bad thing happening after another. 

On top of that I moved out here alone & didn’t have many friends. This project was me deciding to not let it get to me & put it all into my art. The second project “Home, What’s Home?” was me identifying that I was far from home and I was way past the point of return. By now I had a lot of doors opened for me musically & I didn’t come out to Atlanta to waste time so I had to stay focused.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

My name is Deshawn Visionz & I am a hip hop artist/Rapper from Sacramento, California. I got into the industry from trying to motivate a friend to face his fears & put his music out. On the other half of that I was inspired by an artist named Saba when I went to one of his shows. For a solid second, it felt like him & I switched positions & he was in the crowd while I was rapping to him.

 After that I knew I was destined to create music. I would say my super power is my vulnerability. I’’m not afraid to get hella vulnerable & talk about whatever I am going through or went through in my life. It’s therapy for real.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

A lesson I had to unlearn is that people can “put you on” if they have a level of success. I have a lot of friends that are doing pretty good in the industry & there’s not too much they can do for me besides give light to what I can do. At the end of the day it’s your own talent & hard work that gets you where you want to be.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

One of my main goals honestly is to show people I grew up with that no matter who you are if you want something in life it’s possible. It may take a month, a year, or 10 but if you have the passion for it and drive to keep elevating you’ll succeed. I wholeheartedly believe that.
