Aguava

Aguava is the vision of producer Allen Chen. Drawing on a wide range of influences ranging from Afro-Cuban jazz and bossa nova to disco and 90s house, he seeks to blend these genres into forward thinking retro grooves. Born in Shanghai, China, Chen grew up surrounded by traditional Chinese folk music along with the works of Mozart, Chopin and Beethoven from his dad's vast collection of classical music. It wasn't until he moved to the US did he pick up playing instruments, the first of which was piano at the age of 7, and guitar at 12.
