Having made serious waves in 2016 with his breakout solo EPs, entitled Lost In Hue and Holding Hue, GAWVI now returns with the official video for one of the standout tracks, “IN THE WATER.”
“In The Water,” as well as the rest of the Lost In Hue EP, debuted on the Electronic/Dance Billboard charts at #2 and hit the top spot on the iTunes Dance charts. Now with nearly 2 million Spotify streams for the EP, not to mention the countless streams for his follow up EP Holding Hue, GAWVI is fast becoming the next big up and coming act in EDM. Set in his hometown of Miami, the video follows GAWVI and friends as they zip through the sun-kissed streets of Downtown, before taking a boat and jet ski’s out in the bay. Giving a nod to the track’s title, the film includes shots of GAWVI jumping into the water as well as enjoying quality time with his family. Beautifully shot by director Marc Sugrue, the video highlights the blissful escapism that being with friends and family can bring.
With the release of the video, GAWVI launches a fundraising campaign for charity : water, a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. “I’m excited to help fundraise for charity : water with my new video release. I’ve always felt that we were created for so much more,” says GAWVI passionately. “In order for us to live that out, having clean water allows for a decrease with health issues, provides a way for healthy eating and keeping our bodies strong in order for us to live out our full potential.” To donate and to find out more information about charity : water, please visit https://donate.charitywater.org/gawvi/in-the-water-with-gawvi.
