She has never graced the cover of Vibe Magazine, Essence, Ebony, People or Rolling Stone, but what a treat the editors are missing. She is cover material! This beautiful, soulful, funky diva has all the ingredients of a superstar. AVIS HARRELL has truly paid her dues in the music industry and is willing to pay more, because it is completely unacceptable for the world not to know what a magnificent comet is passing through this 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 and Ayana, 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. Seeking apprenticeship with more established artists, AVIS did back up work, tours, and recordings with Ray Charles and Wayne Newton. She has been recently seen on KCET television in concert with Ray Charles and The Raelettes that was filmed a few years ago in Canada with "The Edmondson Symphony Orchestra" during her stint with him. While keeping busy and being the opportunist she is, AVIS then joined Wayne Newton's organization when offered the job from Mr. Newton, where she was his lead singer for two and a half years. 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. While giving props to a very supportive family and various coaches such as Leonard Reed and Seth Riggs, AVIS says that her Mother, Mildred Harrell from Washington D.C. and her Sister Ayana Harrell in Los Angeles are still very instrumental in proofing her ideas once she has created a blueprint of what she wants to do. AVIS can now add another feather to her cap. Along with being the complete entertainer, she has written, played, programmed and produced her entire album/CD project, "SELF CONTAINED". She made it a point to cover as many genres of music as possible, while doing them all extremely well. This project proves that AVIS is all that! She's a singer, entertainer, writer, musician and now producer of her own project. Some have even called her the "Queen of Versatility". AVIS has no problem with sharing the spot light since she has made such an impressionable mark in the industry being a supportive artist and singing background. But now it's her time to shine! AVIS is doing all she can to kick off her project "SELF CONTAINED", but knows that no man is an island. She's in the process of searching for professional representation, and feels that since she's getting the ball rolling, professional representation is the only way to keep it going. AVIS' dream producer, management and Recording Company is to be under the wings of Mr. Clive Davis. If anyone out there has the inside line of connection, please ask him to contact her!!! According to all who have seen her and heard her, he will find she is all they are buzzing about! Who ever she is lucky to end up with will know AVIS is a managers, record company and publicist's dream artist. The buzz has already started about this great CD and artist. For AVIS, "SELF CONTAINED" is a personal statement that there is no limit to the multiple talents God has blessed her with. This is a CD that you will want to play again and again.
