Ma-V-Elle are a R&B group from South Auckland, New Zealand.

History

Their first album earned them three trips to Europe, including two performances at the renowned Ronnie Scott's club in London. They also played the Air and Water Show, sharing the stage with the likes of Mos Def, B*witched, and Lutricia McNeal. Add to that some profile support slots in New Zealand, opening for Tina Turner, The Supremes, and Boney M.

Their second album is regarded as the most difficult one to make, dealing with a new baby, marriage and the founding member of the group leaving: Marina Davis had been with the group since they began back at James Cook High School. But Ma-V-Elle dealt with it all to release "Angel" in 1999.

However, in 2000, the remaining members split to pursue solo careers.
