Marcus “Bellringer” Bell is the CEO of Bellringer Productions.

Born in Norfolk, Virginia, Marcus Bell draws inspiration from his roots. His journey began at Berklee College of Music, where he honed his craft and graduated in 1996. Since then, Marcus has continuously pushed boundaries in music and entrepreneurship, embodying a legacy of innovation and empowerment in the entertainment industry. Today, Marcus “Bellringer” Bell is a multifaceted American music producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, singer, social media influencer, activist, and entrepreneur. Renowned for his prolific career, Marcus has left an indelible mark on the global music landscape. As CEO of Bellringer Productions LLC, he oversees a powerhouse in music sync licensing and production, boasting a catalog of over 10,000 songs and nurturing more than 300 recording artists. Marcus is not only shaping the industry with his billion-plus music streams but also pioneering the next era of creativity with his photorealistic AI Music Artist Character, Ravyn Lyte. His credits span industry giants such as Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, Timbaland, and collaborations with major brands including Sony Music, HBO, Netflix, and Amazon.

Ravyn Lyte is the brainchild of Marcus “Bellringer” Bell, a child prodigy who started playing the piano at age two, wrote his first songs at eight, and started his own record label at 12. A graduate of Berklee College of Music, Marcus began his career composing for big bands and orchestras, producing music drawing from jazz principles and learning to play 12 different instruments. As a music futurist, he soon broadened his horizons to look for innovative approaches ahead of the mainstream, like a Hip-Hop Country album long before the genre gained popularity. Remarkably, many of his songs were synced years after they were originally composed.

In 2023, Marcus Bell lost his voice during a grueling recording session. As a technophile exploring technology throughout his career, he decided to use AI to clone his voice to complete the last of the project. That’s when the potential for creative innovation through AI tools blew open. Ravyn Lyte was created to impact societal issues for the better. In a world where emotions of hate and rage through music and lyrics are targeting young children, Rayvn Lyte’s music has been designed with neuroscientists to embed sounds of peace and healing to soothe the soul.
