Behind the scenes and interview Van Ness Wu
So... I am sure there are lots of people on this site waiting for this. Sorry it took so long, I have been so busy. But a good friend of mine put together this small video of the 3 days in the studio in June I did with Van Ness, there are photos, an interview with Van Ness, and a couple "behind the scenes" video clips.

Kelvin Avon: Beijing's Soul Sister Tia Ray.... What a voice!
So... I just got back from 6 days in Beijing. It was my first time to go so I was looking forward to the trip. The main purpose of the trip was to work with an artist called Tia Ray... and wow... what a singer. A very, very talented young lady. It was a real pleasure to work with.
Here are a couple of pics from the night
The day I arrived was also the AnD launch with Tom.com in Beijing and Tia was performing so I went down to say hi to all the AnD guys (Pat, Raffi, Steven) and also Terence, Daniel, Andrew, and Conroy. What a great bunch of guys... I gotta say, all the AnD people have made we so welcome in HK and also in Beijing.
Me and the beautfil Tia Ray.. hey that's my hat!!!

Well... that was the first night. I was nursing a little hangover the next day and we had to get up early to go to the Forbidden City. I was looking forward to this as had read a lot about it. Tia come along and also the talented for Nick Wong who came up with me from HK to play keys on the tracks.

As much as so far it looks like I have been doing no work.. work was still to come. We spent 5 days in Universal Records Studio (Thanks!) but as we were working in the evening there was no A/C (they turn off the A/C in the building after 6pm)... So begin 5 evenings of profuse sweating alongside serious creativity.. I gotta say that ain't a great mix but we made 2 amazing tracks
Some photos of the sessions
Nick and Tia deep on songwriting!

At the end of 5 days.. This is how hard I work with vocalists... Tia will probably kill me for putting this up... but I just had to! lol
Anyway... what a trip. Really enjoyed myself... got to see the sites and made some great music. I look forward to my next trip (except for the bumpy flight!!). And stay tuned for some GREAT new music from Tia... she really is one to watch over the next year!!
Yes.. we climbed the Great Wall... and I didn't buy one of those tourist T-Shirts!
