Avalonia was formed as a trio by brothers Jayden and Seth Beyrooti, and their good friend Ramon Bautista in 2011. Jay lays down the rhythm section with piano, guitars and bass, reinforced by Seth’s tight playing on the drums, and topped off with Ramon’s soulful tenor sax.  While they enjoyed playing gigs, they especially loved recording original music. Their debut single "Traction Control" features tight drums and bass, funky rhythm guitars, and an energetic tenor sax. The first recording done by the band was the gospel song, “The Path That Leads to You” released under Jayden Beyrooti's name.  “Heartfelt Motions”, an all-original jazz themed album, incorporates several other styles such as swing, smooth jazz, pop/rock, soul, Brazilian and classical music.  Produced by Jayden and Craig Beyrooti, the album has a unique sound and conveys a beautiful message through its ten songs. Sadly, Seth died in 2018 after being hit by a distracted driver while stopped in traffic. Jayden and Ramon greatly miss playing music with Seth but continue their passion of recording new songs in his honor and implore others to not drive distracted.
