From his website: "With a current fanbase of over 145,000 on MySpace, countless songs featured in film and television, and an upcoming tour in the fall of 2007, Gavin has become a shining example of the modern-day independent artist. He talks regularly with his fans online...and his songs continue to inspire new fans every day."

Gavin prides himself on having built up his career through his own hard work, and refers to himself as the anti-rockstar. TuneCore hopes this chance to record at Real World Studios will give his career further momentum.
