Dev Avidon
Sound Design
Singer
Dev is a jazz-rock fusion composer, singer, engineer and producer, working primarily in
New York. He also runs a successful small studio, Avidon Audio Labs, on Roosevelt Island. He has recorded, mixed and mastered for a wide range of renowned artists such as Steven Mercurio, Andres Boiarsky, Kings Legacy, Tom Larsen, Roy Assaf, and many others. His unique progressive-rock/jazz-fusion hybrid style has been hailed as an "original voice that is quite hard to compare" (Strutterzine) but shows influences from artists such as Steely Dan, The Smiths, Pink Floyd, Yes and David Bowie. His latest release, Tears of Men, features an all-star lineup of musicians, with a core band of Roy Assaf, Karl Latham, Mark Egan and Oz Noy and guest performances by Keve Wilson, Mike Dease, Rubin Khodeli and many others. Over the years, Dev has earned widespread critical acclaim and accolade for his creative work. He was recently recognized on Bobby McFerrin's masterpiece album Vocabularies, and has won many awards for his creative writing and lyricism, including 13 regional and 4 national Scholastic Gold Key awards. He is also anticipating the release of his first unique studio monitor design, Pegasus, which the legendary Rupert Neve has described as “first class for their size.”
