After a year in the making, London-based instrumentalist and composer RJ Chevalier has completed a collection of unforgettable songs, rich in emotional character and infused with enchanting melodies. Expat Records released on March 31st Horizon Calling, the debut album of this exceptionally talented musician.

Inspired by diverse musical styles and influences, RJ Chevalier's passion for music has moved him to create a contemporary yet timeless blend of melody and self-expression with a merging of electronic and classical elements. As a pianist and skilled guitarist, the producer has drawn on his love of these instruments to deftly craft a soundscape that is easy to appreciate yet defies categorization. The release of this album heralds the advent of a new approach to the exploration of sound, tapping into the deep and powerful emotions that music inspires in us all.

Over the vital and stirring structure provided by piano, RJ Chevalier layers lavish orchestral warmth with rich, pulsating beats to create a motif for this release that is truly groundbreaking. In Horizon Calling, each track becomes a voyage of exploration into new territories. Sumptuous soundscapes, fluid percussion, and soaring melodies lead the listener back and forth through hushed moments of serene tenderness while exceptional vocal artists give life to his breathtaking lyrics. With influences as wide and varied as Rob Dougan and Craig Armstrong to Massive Attack and Leftfield, RJ Chevalier's music has gathered a remarkable online following, so much so that he is featured on the front page of one of the web's largest music websites.

RJ Chevalier has tinkered with music for years but started producing music seriously just over a year ago after a chance conversation with a work colleague led him to a recording studio. Since that date he has gone from strength to strength and has produced a debut album which undoubtedly lives up to his massive artistic potential and the high expectations of his musical peers. He has collaborated with some amazingly talented vocal artists in Deni Hlavinka from the US and Alex Martin from the UK. Chevalier's music may be difficult to categorize, but his unique sound merges effortlessly with visual imagery yet stands in its own right too, marking this release as one of the great genre-defying albums of recent times.
