V Sevani Music Video Premiere “Take You To The Moon”

You may remember V Sevani from the boy band NLT, the former Interscope recording group that Fanvasion introduced you to back in 2007 (4-1-1 On the Hot New Group, NLT!). Members of the band have gone their separate ways — Travis Garland is recording an album, Justin Thorne is the new group One Call, and Kevin McHale stars as Artie on the hit TV series GLEE. This brings me back to V Sevani who has also been consistently working on his solo album as well as working on various film projects.

V just dropped the music video for his pop/R&B single "Take You To The Moon" and we highly recommend you checking it out below!
