Ellis Production
Early Life
Marlon Andrew Ellis professionally known as Ellis Production is a Jamaican-born American music producer, videographer, and photographer. Ellis was born in Jamaica and raised in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Due to his father being in the Jamaican army Ellis would spend his early years growing up on a military base with his parents. Ellis's mother and father would eventually divorce. Ellis's mother would seek a better life for her and Ellis, so she migrated to North America, while Ellis stayed in Jamaica with his family. Despite living with family his living arrangements were not always stable; he went from relative to relative and eventually ended up living with his grandmother. Once Ellis moved to America, much like how it was for him in Jamaica, he would be bullied because he was smaller, a loner, and different from his peers. Growing up with his grandmother, he was physically abused for much of his youth by both his grandmother and grandfather. During the summers, he would fly by air from Jamaica to America to visit his mother, who was residing in Florida. In 2006, Ellis's mother got married and would have another child. Ellis would leave Jamaica after this and reside in America permanently.
