BIO – Gavin Ferguson
Singer-songwriter Gavin Ferguson started playing guitar at the age of 16;
his love for music was discovered in high school alongside his love for drama in which he received full colours. 
He performed in musicals, open mic nights at venues around KZN during his high school career and after,
building a strong local following before expanding into the national music scene in SA. 
 
Gavin’s musical style is extremely versatile, incorporating soulful vocals and dabbling in genres ranging from pop to rock. 
Gavin’s musical influences range from a wide variety of genres including commercial pop, rock, jazz, light blues,
RnB, dance, classical, indie and big band with a flare of southern gospel infused with old school classics,
flamenco-style guitar and classical finger picking.
 
After much turmoil between pursuing his career as an engineer or following his musical path,
Gavin eventually decided to pursue music as a full time musician in 2013 and has not looked back since.
 
In the early days, having passionately played at every dingy bar he could find,
Gavin eventually started performing for the more prestigious venues around his home town in KZN,
from becoming a regular at the Oyster Box he ventured into performing for private functions and public
festivals such as Splashy Fen, Smoking Dragon, Lube and Tube, Biosphere, White Mountain Festival,
Peacanwood Oktoberfest and others. 
 
These festival performances have spurred an evolution in Gavin’s music that has brought great
joy to both the music fans and Gavin himself, having shared the stage with and supported artists
including but not limited to:  Pascal and Pierce, Khan from The Parlotones, Short Straw, Locnville,
Jeremy Loops, Mathew Mole, John Ellis from Tree 63, Majozi, December Streets and Crash Car Burn. 
 
Gavin’s first single “Friendzone” became somewhat of an underground anthem, eventually becoming
the track that he was known for due to the raw quality and catchiness of the tune.  It was “Friendzone”
that initially caught the attention of Archie Majola from Midas Touch Records. 
 
Further to regularly performing, Gavin put his engineering expertise to work building his own studio
and later producing his 2nd single titled “Never Know”.  Singles that followed were “Graffiti Blues”
“Rockets” and then “Eternal Sin” which was the single that cemented the relationship with Archie
who took to becoming Gavin’s full time manager and guiding him on the path to building a brand and
moving to the next level in his musical journey. 
 
“Eternal Sin” enjoyed play-listing on East Coast Radio, Good Hope FM and RSG amongst others. 
Gavin’s latest single “Not Right” has a strong pop element to it and is available on all streaming platforms. 
The music video for “Not Right” went viral almost instantly, securing over 4K views within the first month. 
“Not Right” embodies a feel good vibe with a music video that caters to all demographics and fun in all regards.
