关于我
Kelvin Avon (aka Afreex) grew up in Hong Kong and started his interest in music from the young age of 6, when he started playing the trumpet. He bought his first synthesizer and drum machine when he was 12 and he hasn't looked back since. Trained at Massachusetts Communications College. Boston, USA as a Sound Engineer, Kelvin began his musical career as a Mastering Engineer in 1999 for Promo Only, a US based music promotions company.
In a short amount of time he has come onto the music scene with his own exciting amalgamation of Urban music. Whether it is Electro Hip Hop, Latin-Spiced rhythms, Hip Hop Rock, or just plain good music, Kelvin has produced and remixed for artists in a variety of genres such as Pop, Rap, RnB, Ragga & Rock; always bringing a unique and exciting sound to his production that has set him apart from their US and UK peers.
Emerging from the UK's underground Urban scene, Kelvin has written and produced with a variety of UK Urban artists such as Swiss, Cassius Henry, Legend aka Kamakazi, Maxwell D, Shola Ama and many more. He has also expanded into the mainstream market, working regularly with artists in Sweden for Warner Chappell and as well as with songwriters such as Curtis Richardson (Jennifer Lopez, Joss Stone), Celetia Martin (Groove Armada), Sandra Nordstrum (Celine Dion/Girls Aloud), Kenisha Pratt (Brandy, Toni Braxton) & Charlie Brown.
Afreex remixes are all about the club; incorporating all elements of music, from Ragga to Rock, Hip Hop to Soul, RnB to Dance. He has remixed for artists such as P.Diddy, Erykah Badu, Nelly, Jamelia, Lumidee, Baby Bash, Omar, Mario, Amp Fiddler and many more. His unique blend of sound, which appeals to both the US and Europe, seems to be catching the attention of industry peeps on both sides of the Atlantic.
In 2005 Kelvin's production company, Chewatribe, put together the UK's biggest collaboration CD, Union Black which won an Urban Music Award 2005 for the Best Compilation Over 25 exclusive tracks featuring collaborations with artists such as Omar, Rhian Benson, Cassius Henry, Swiss (So Solid), Don-E, Sway, Shola Ama, Baby Blue, J2K, Maxwell D, Sway, Kele Le Roc and many more, produced by UK producers.
He has recently mixed the debut album for no.1 Russian Hip Hop outfit Banderos (Universal) and the debut single through Polydor of underground sensation & MOBO winners N-Dubz. He then went on to mix 7 tracks for the album including teh next two singles "Ouch" and 'Defeat You". The album has just gone Gold.
Broadening his scope to also include multi-media, Kelvin was also one of the Musical Directors for hip hop theatre show 'BoxBeat' in 2003 held at Sadlers Wells in London, and produced music for the renowned Swedish Hip Hop Dance Company, Bounce Streetdance Company. Recently he has also placed original music for Sony Playstation games.
