Marvinnik Appiahene-Afriyie

Chief Operating Officer

aka Mr. A The Martian

Marvinnik is a creator, musician, systems builder, father and creative technologist working across music, movement, technology, community and real-world execution.

Music has been a major part of his life and creative identity for years. Through Mr. A The Martian, he works across songwriting, recording, music production, performance and the wider process of taking an idea from its earliest form into something real.

Movement is another major part of his creative language. Through parkour, physical training and movement exploration, he has developed a strong interest in how the body interacts with space, technology, performance and the environment around it.

He is the creator of LIVRA, a creator-controlled operating environment, and ANVIL, its execution layer. His systems work takes ideas, conversations, media, research and incomplete information and turns them into structured decisions, workflows, prototypes and real-world outputs. It spans AI-assisted workflows, product and web prototyping, spatial and interactive interfaces, creative technology, technical operations, research and systems design.

He also brings more than five years of frontline healthcare experience across long-term care, home care and community care. That shaped his emphasis on communication, responsibility, documentation, adaptability and building systems around real human needs.

Marvinnik is a father of two, and fatherhood drives him. His goal is to create tools, skills, culture, environments and opportunities that can be passed forward to his children and the generation after them.

As COO, he works alongside Saadiq to translate vision into execution: operations, creative systems, technology, product development, digital experiences, research, workflow design and the infrastructure that lets WAVMVMT's music, movement, community and real-world projects grow together. Day to day, that looks like holding space, brainstorming, training, making music, networking and pushing ideas forward. He set up the first version of this website so the building could start.

"Give people better tools, better environments and more control over what they can create with their own lives."
