Vocalist AVIS HARRELL is a beautiful, soulful, Pop, jazzy diva who has all the ingredients of a superstar! She has truly paid her dues in the music industry and the world should know about this magnificent comet passing through our Universe! She has much to offer in the way of versatility, stemming from her childhood musical upbringing. AVIS comes from a very musical family. She has studied with the best of the best and has been inspired by her Mother, Father, Sisters, Mia, Ayana, dancer Brother Tim and many professionals. Yet I can truly say that she should take much of the responsibility for becoming all that she has become. As a young teen, she sang with her Sisters in a recording group on RCA called "The Fawns". She then went on to win the city beauty pageant and became "MISS AMERICA WASHINGTON D.C." From there, Stevie Wonder sent her to the best vocal coaches in Los Angeles California.

Still climbing and seeking apprenticeship with more established artists, AVIS did back up work, tours, and recordings with Ray Charles and Wayne Newton. KCET Television paid a tribute to Ray Charles and The Raelettes in a concert filmed a few years before his passing in Canada with "The Edmondson Symphony Orchestra". During her 2 1/2 almost 3-year tenure, AVIS recorded America the Beautiful with Ray Charles live at this concert. That DVD is in stores now.

While keeping busy and being the opportunist she is, AVIS then joined Wayne Newton's organization. When offered the job from Mr. Newton, she performed as the lead singer of his back up group, The Jive Sisters for 2 1/2 nearly 3 years as well. The high point of her stint with Wayne Newton was a soul stirring beautifully stylized rendition of "Endless Love" on Jerry Lewis' Telethon filmed at Caesars' Palace. Having performed in the background long enough, AVIS emerged to the forefront with the polish of any seasoned performer. With high-energy choreography and showmanship that pleases audiences of all ages, AVIS has a voice that's like a finely tuned instrument and delivers song after song in her own powerful way.

Giving props to a very supportive family and various coaches such as Leonard Reed and Seth Riggs, AVIS says that her Mother, Althea Harrell from Washington D.C. and both her Sisters, Mia and Ayana are still very instrumental in proofing her ideas once she has created a blueprint of what she wants to do. But now, AVIS can now add another feather to her cap.

Along with being the complete entertainer, she has written, played, programmed and produced her entire CD project called "THE BEST OF AVIS HARRELL". She made it a point to cover as many genres of music as possible, while doing them all extremely well. She's a singer, entertainer, writer, musician and now producer of her own projects. After working with so many groups, she fashions herself to be one of the first females to have done it all solo. Some have even called her the "Queen of Versatility"!

AVIS has no problem with sharing the spot light since she has made such an indelible mark in the industry being a supportive artist and singing background. But now it's her time to shine! AVIS has been promoting all of her music projects, but knows that no man is an Island. And as she moves on to create newer material to keep her career interesting and current, it's truly for the fans to see her growth as well as for her own self-worth. She feels that if you are in love with what you contribute to music, that it is a lot easier for people to love your contribution and feel the passion you intend to share.

On the heels of her "SELF CONTAINED" Cd, Avis' first cd, she completed a follow up project titled, "A DEDICATION TO OUR TROOPS" that she in turned dedicated to President Barrack Obama in support of bringing our troops home. Avis comes from the heart. While she brings joy and happiness through her music, she made a plea for the support of the Haiti victim during their earthquake catastrophe with a single called "NO TIME TO BLAME". As of recent, she completed another Pop & R&B, 10 songs Cd with Musician/Producer Michael Williams titled AVIS "SIMPLY AMAZING!" The hope is to engrave a mark in History with her new songs that will last a lifetime.

She has released a Jazz and Blues Cd within a month period of releasing "AVIS "SIMPLY AMAZING" that is taking the local jazz scene by storm! The title of this Cd is called; "INTRODUCING AVIS! LIVE JAZZ FESTIVALS AROUND THE WORLD". She's had this project on the back burner for some time now and has made it available so that the public can actually hear of her travels and the amazing stars, Television Icon's, and MC's with whom she has worked with and who has also introduced her bringing her on stage. It's a creative concept and a wonderfully, exciting piece of work that's quite entertaining and gives you a clear view of who Ms. Avis Harrell is. Currently, Avis has gone back into her personal studio to put together and produced her newest venture, "The Best of Avis Harrell" which is a Pop, R&B dance Cd. She feels that the audience that wants to get up and move will be able to do so at any concert she performs. To sum it up, Avis is a well versed, talented vocalist, musician and entertainer and I encourage people to see her in concert and visit her Music Store to purchase her Cd's just to find out for yourselves!
