Carvin & Ivan are a production duo from Philadelphia consisting of producer and songwriters Ivan "Orthodox" Barias and Carvin "Ransum" Haggins.

They are notable for introducing Musiq Soulchild to the world and giving him his staple sound.[2] They are responsible for writing and producing the vast majority of Musiq's more popular charted singles such as "Just Friends (Sunny)", "Halfcrazy", "Dontchange", "B.U.D.D.Y.", "Teachme" and others.[3][4]

Ivan currently serves on the board of governors and is the president of the Philadelphia Chapter of The Recording Academy.[5] On February 1, 2011, Carvin & Ivan became creative ambassadors for the city of Philadelphia as a part of Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation's Philly 360°.[6]

In 2011, Ivan was selected as an ambassador of the Philadelphia 76ers community program La Liga del Barrio.

Early years
