Gavin Castleton began making music at the age of three as a classically trained pianist. At fourteen he began studying jazz with David Azarian. Shortly thereafter he and some friends formed “futurock” band Gruvis Malt, and from 1995 to 2004 they toured the US and released nine recordings (one with Warner subsidiary Lakeshore Records, and the other eight independently). When Gruvis Malt stopped touring in 2004, Gavin launched a solo career, releasing four full-length records and three EPs while touring the country to promote them. He has produced a handful of records by other artists, made numerous guest appearances on records both foreign and domestic and tinkered with various remixes. He was awarded Best Electronica/DJ Act three years in a row in Providence, RI, where he lived until this year when he moved to Portland, OR.
