Biography

Using floaty keyboard riffs, R&B harmonies and plenty of nostalgic 1980s synths, Canadian producer/songwriter Chris d'Eon (aka D'eon) crafts ambient, electronica that dances between oddball, leftfield soundscapes and lush, melodic pop. Based in Montreal, D'eon first started playing around with synths as a four-year-old, but suffered from agoraphobia and quit his formal music studies as a teenager to travel to the Himalayas and live in a Tibetan monastery. Upon his return, he became involved in the underground, experimental dance scene and started giving out cassettes of his work and an EP of cover versions of Swans songs. Signed to Los Angeles indie label Hippos in Tanks, his debut Palinopsia (2010) incorporated sounds and techniques he had discovered on his travels, but it was the split album Darkbloom (2011) with Grimes that drew critical acclaim and brought him to wider attention. Concept album LP (2012) further enhanced his reputation for soulful, digital pop and as an innovative, risk-taking young, experimental producer.
