If you were to conjure an artist with an equal mix of elegance, class, smooth yet feisty vocals and, a ‘gentleman meets heartthrob’ stage persona, you would be looking right at Gavyn Rhone.
While Kansas City raised this undeniable talent through church and choirs, it was the impeccable ear of mega producer Babyface who took one listen to Gavyn’s demo and immediately invited him to Los Angeles, California. He was to be the lead singer of a young R&B group that would go on to tour the world, be signed by J records, Def Jam records, enjoy thousands of fans worldwide and secure a #1 video on BET’s top 10 countdown for 7 consecutive weeks for the song ‘Get With Me’.
Following his very successful stint, Gavyn has thrived in the American music industry, having a reputation amongst industry insiders, producers and artists as the ‘go to’ for many of their creative and artistic needs. Gavyn vocal produced 8 songs on the 7X Grammy nominated, "11:11" album by celebrated R&B singer Keyshia Cole. He also featured on her hit single "Party Ain't A Party" which premiered on B.E.T. and took the #1 spot on the Billboard Hip-Hop & R&B chart. His charismatic vocals mixed with her impassioned tone continues to impact fans all over the world. Another accolade included Gavyn being hand-picked to be the new leader of the renowned Gap Band, previously led by the legendary Charlie Wilson. He continues to tour with the band satiating thousands of adoring fans.
To date he has toured/shared the stage with: Drake, Justin Bieber, Paul Stanley of KISS, Pitbull, Nick Jonas, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, Trey Songz, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Babyface, Jennifer Hudson and ofcourse, Keyshia Cole on the epic Jimmy Kimmel show.

Some of his credits include the theater hit, ‘Dirty Grandpa’ with Robert De Niro, showtime series ‘Soul Food’, a role on the Disney Channel cartoon, ‘The Proud Family’ and box office hit, ‘Honey’, starring Jessica Alba.
Rhone, someone who never initially sought the spotlight and never forgets his humble upbringing, loves giving back to his friends and supporters. Wanting to provide an increasingly needed service for artists, he founded an artist development company called ‘Amastar Entertainment Group’. Understanding that labels were no longer providing this, and more artists with so much potential were feeling lost and alone, Gavyn and his team of writers, producers, choreographers and vocal coaches develop artists at any level. They also provide them a platform to display their honed talents for label executive and industry power players while continuously building their fan base.
Rhone has worked with some of the top producers in the industry from the likes of Diane Warren, Babyface, Paul Stanley, Poo Bear, Rodney Jerkins, Musiq Soulchild, LL Cool J, David Foster, Tank, Vincent Herbert, Tyrese, 50 Cent, J Moss, NeYo, Fabulous, Sean Garrett & Big Boi of Outkast to name a few. Industry legends and fans alike, will attest and express that Gavyn is one of the hardest working artists with one of the strongest live voices in the industry.
