Tucked away in the woods of Redding, Connecticut, four-time Grammy winner Paul Avgerinos has built a world of sound and spirit at his Studio Unicorn. A multi-instrumentalist, engineer, and producer with more than 9,000 tracks and 300M+ streams, Avgerinos is celebrated as “one of the giants of ambient music” (AllMusic Guide). Unlike most artists, he chose not to tour—embracing stillness, nature, and meditation instead. That decision led him to create music that transcends performance, offering listeners a direct path to peace, healing, and connection. From winning Grammys for his ethereal New Age albums to producing for legends like Arturo O’Farrill and President Jimmy Carter’s audiobook, his journey reflects a life of devotion, humility, and joy.

Now 60, he’s extended his Luxor residency through 2030, cementing his place in the Entertainment Capital of the World. “I’ve just been beyond blessed,” he says. “I get to make people laugh every night—and that’s the most fun I have.” Read the full feature ➡️ https://chiccompass.com/carrot-top-the-reigning-king-of-props/
