Gavin was born in London, raised in Los Angeles, and now resides in Oakland California. With influences from his Uncle who was a DJ and at one point was signed to Jive Records, Gavin got his first introduction to music at around age 15 in 1992. First experimenting with music on a Casio Keyboard, he began to develop his own style of beat making alongside rapping and then later discovered his love for singing and composing in general.
	In recent years Gavin has been spearheading Featherload; which is a band of the Mind. That came from a dream, that influences him to create experimental genre-bending music drawing from Hip-hop, jazz, classical, funk, and cinematic scores.

If Frank Ocean and Sade had a baby, ASTU would be it. Part retro soul, part nineties R&B pastiche, part New Wave-inspired synth-pop, ASTU’s music refuses to pledge allegiance to a single vibe. The vocalist, songwriter and producer has the ability to find an easy, irresistible groove and turn it into an unhurried banger. A Black, queer and gender expansive artist, ASTU left life as a minister and found themself in R&B, expressing their sexuality, identity and life experience in their music. 

Variance Magazine describes their sound as "...kin to some of Solange’s recent material with the whispering confidence of Kelela..." while Himmat Media raves, "...their unapologetic queerness..transcends the conventional, offering a safe haven where listeners are free to explore their own identities."
