With an endless number of hits, accolades and successes over the past two decades, Devin Abrams is undoubtedly one of New Zealand’s most versatile and accomplished musicians and producers. Born in San Francisco, Abrams grew up in Christchurch, New Zealand, first developing his musical skills at the Jazz School before then forming the iconic New Zealand group Shapeshifter with school friends in 1999.

One of the biggest New Zealand acts of the 21st century, Shapeshifter have numerous platinum albums and singles, multiple #1s, a collection of music awards, sold out shows and festivals both home and abroad, and released music through world famous UK electronic label, Hospital Records. Spending over 15 years in
the group, Abrams’ would take a lead role as a producer, songwriter and performer - producing and writing nearly all of the group’s work.

Constantly evolving and ever driven towards honing his craft, in 2015, Abrams would depart Shapeshifter to focus on producing and writing for other artists. The first act he would work with was New Zealand’s Drax Project. From their 2015 EP, to their 2019 award-winning smash hit ‘Woke Up Late’, featuring actor and multi-platinum US recording artist Hailee Steinfeld, Abrams has been an integral part of the group’s success. Abrams produced and co-wrote ‘Woke Up Late’, which reached #29 on the Billboard Hot 100, #23 on US top 40 radio, as well as top ten, triple platinum success in Australia and New Zealand. Abrams would also produce Drax Project’s next biggest hit, the double platinum ‘Catching Feelings’ feat. Six60, along with four other tracks on their 2019 debut album.

Alongside his production and writing work, Abrams has released a number of critically acclaimed albums under his solo project alias, Pacific Heights. The 2016 top ten debuting album ‘The Stillness’ won ‘Best Electronic Album’ at the NZ Music Awards, with 2018’s ‘A Lost Light’ also seeing success and praise. Pacific Heights is released through Warner Music.

Abrams also spent time in Los Angeles and Sydney, working with a variety of international artists, writers and producers, furthering his reputation of hard work and proven results, and adding to the increased demand for him worldwide.
