The Element (aka Gavin
Knowles), an electronic dance music producer from The Bahamas, is making huge
waves on the music scene! Much of the music he writes has been accepted by
international Film/TV Libraries and his single “Be with You” was forwarded on
to the A&R Director at Sony.
“I have signed publishing
deals with two international Film/TV libraries. Also one library has eleven of
my tracks and another has three,” says Gavin. “Be with You was a collaboration with the amazing vocalist/singer
songwriter Juliet Lyons and the very talented and experienced Film/TV producer
Richard Emmet.”
“Be with You” (featuring Juliet
Lyons) is available on iTunes HERE
Another recent success of The
Element is Gavin’s remix of the Lost Kings’ song “You” featuring Katelyn
Tarver, which reached #4 on the Spinnin’ Records Contest Charts.
“All production is done
inside my computer, not like the old days when music producers had to have a
big studio,” says Gavin. “Nowadays everything can be done on a computer and the
virtual instruments are of a very high quality.”
Gavin is a member of PRS
Music (U.K. PRO affiliated with ASCAP). He also belongs to TAXI which is an
online A&R community. He says some of his influences are Calvin Harris,
Swedish House Mafia and David Guetta.
He was born in The Bahamas and raised between the islands and Devon, England.
He has travelled freely and weaves
his background and life experiences into his music.
Gavin is excited about his
future as an EDM producer and says, “It's been two years since I started this
journey as a music producer and it's been a blast. I look forward to taking my
music to the next level this year!”
