In less than three years Hpnotiqsoundz has become a force to be reckoned with on South Florida’s social scene. The youthfulness of the sound however, isn’t a true representation of the experience, dedication, versatility or talent of its members. Entrepreneurs, promoters, DJ’s and producers, Marvelus and Palmer Stylez, the founders and main selectors of Hpnotiqsoundz have over 15 years of combined experience in the sound system business.

Why Hpnotiqsoundz? – “We didn’t want a typical sound system name, so Hpnotiqsoundz was perfect. Now when we play at a venue, we hypnotize the crowd, especially the ladies! We put them in a trance, getting their attention and having them focus on us.” - Marvelus

Marvelus is the man behind the vibrant selections and Palmer Stylez controls the microphone and delivers the hype and often times comical speech to compliment the music. Both young men spent their early years in Jamaica and it was there they developed their love and passion for music. Marvelus who grew up in Montego Bay sharpened his musical skills on his fathers oldies set, and then developed a love for Dancehall, as he got older. With other family members involved in the music industry, it was a natural progression for him. Palmer Stylez acquired his early musical influences while growing up in Kingston and like most in the industry was surrounded by the strong influence of many of Jamaica’s top sound systems.

“You can’t forget your past, and I always say that your history can’t be a mystery, you have to know you’re history to truly understand and love what you’re doing.” – Palmer Stylez

In the mid 90’s Marvelus & Palmer Stylez migrated to South Florida and it was here that their skills really developed. Prior to forming Hpnotiqsoundz Marvelus played with Sweetness and Black Shadow, while Palmer Stylez played with Riddim Styles and Black Chiney sound systems. It would almost seem that destiny would have the two meet and become friends, painting a legacy that is sure to leave many speechless. It is this foundation and history that charts their journey through the present and maps their path for the future. They add spice to every event they play at and possess the insatiable talent of incorporating every essence and genre of music, thus rendering them flexible in every arena and enabling them to play for any audience. No song has to be "the hype" at the time for them to have the crowd going wild.

Already during their short career on the sound circuit, Hpnotiqsoundz has appeared alongside some big names in both Reggae and Hip Hop. They appeared in the “Get Low Remix” music video featuring Little John, Busta Rhymes, Ying Yang Twins and Elephant Man, appearing in three scenes in the video, deejaying on the Jamaican side of the club. With consistent dates in South Florida and a growing catalogue of National and International dates, Hpnotiq is gradually becoming a recognized name in the entertainment Industry. What would seem to many as a fast rise to fame, to Hpnotiq is merely just reward for years of hard work. Appreciative of their success, Hpnotiq strives to remain humble and true to themselves while consistently giving the best.

Hpnotiqsoundz is backed by a strong management, public relations and administrative team comprising of Stephen “Gibbo” Gibson, Rohan “Kat” Semoy and Deborah Smith. Together they have a vast portfolio of knowledge, experience in the entertainment industry and the creativity and technology to keep Hpnotiq a step ahead at all times. Each member of the Hpnotiq camp plays a vital roll in the growth and development of the sound and share the common goal of making Hpnotiqsoundz one of the most sought after sound systems in the world.

“The vibes that we’re getting are very positive. We just want to big up all the genuine people who helped us along the way and all the people who like what Hpnotiqsoundz is all about, even the negative ones who help to make us more aggressive and determined to succeed. We’re here and we’re doing our thing!” - Marvelus/Palmer Stylez
