Surface Of The Sun

After moving to Vancouver, Canada, in 2002 to obtain an education in audio engineering, Devon Eggers worked as an in-house and freelance engineer in many of the major studios around the city. During this time, he focused on developing his skills as an engineer and producer, learning from studio regulars such as Garth Richardson (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chevelle, Rage Against the Machine), Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad, Devin Townsend Project), and Dave Genn (Matthew Good Band, 54-40).

During that time Devon also focused on writing original material. Around 2005, intrigued by the challenge, he decided to pursue his music as a solo endeavour, which required moving beyond being just a guitar player. Then, in 2011 Devon chose the project name Surface of the Sun, and A Dying Star was released. He performed all music and lyrics (except for drums), and after some significant life changes, completed recording and mixing the album in a very small town in northern British Columbia.

On September 6, 2019, Devon released Panacea, a 4-song EP and the follow-up to A Dying Star. The album showcases his growth as an artist and engineer. As of February 2020, the first single, Oblivion, has remained in the TOP 40 in two Canadian Radio Rock Charts. The Panacea EP is available in all online stores and streaming services.

Devon is also the author of the sci-fi thriller book series, Sky View (available as an e-book on Amazon and Kobo), and a for-hire music mixing engineer.
