 His personal work extends in a wide range of music genres, including electronic, neo-classical, ambient, jazz, post-rock, dream-pop and it is mostly characterized by the pursuit of an exclusive, distinctive identity: a mixture of soundscapes combining both cerebral, dynamic sounds and melancholic, atmospheric elements. 
While he mainly works at his home studio in Athens, he founds strong inspiration in his hometown of Corinth, a small seaside village in southern Greece, where he often collects nature sounds as a primal material incorporated in his pieces.
He has released 5 solo albums under Seattle-based label Hush Hush Records and Greek-based label Klik Records and many EP’s.

From the time she could talk, recording artist Ava Aston has been getting lost in music. She is a recording artist with a uniquely crystalline vocal sound all her own. Truly beautiful vocal melodies that rise above smartly written songs.

Born and raised in upstate New York where she was classically trained, Ava draws from a broad range of influences from Frank Sinatra and Doris Day all the way to the Goo Goo Dolls. Musical styles and fads may come and go, but one thing remains true, Ava’s love to sing. She lives to create and perform music that makes you feel something, music that makes you smile.  

Ava desires to utilize her gifts and talents to make a Positive Impact. Music to encourage and lift people up, music that means something. Ava's latest release is her first CCM Single titled “Don’t Walk Away”.  It, along with all her other music is available on iTunes.
