Gavon Mitchell
Singing and playing piano from a young age, indie folk/rock singer-songwriter Gavon Mitchell developed his musical ear early. After studying opera in NYC for two years, he left to pursue his solo music career. Being raised on a slew of genres, from Iron Maiden, to Cusco, to Doc Watson, Gavon has an eclectic style of songwriting. His passion and study of music and theory grants his songs a unique sense of harmony, rhythm, and overall musicality. A love of nature and curiosity into the human consciousness is showcased in his lyricism, often exploring the duality between the world outside ourselves, and the one that exists within. His lyrics go from raw and relatable, to etherial and pondering.
