Where people share and discover artistic talent and more
Many artists find themselves locked in a box –somehow held prisoner by a certain genre. This is not the plight of singer-songwriter K.Avett. When asked to describe her music, one quickly detects her hesitation to place a label on the music she so loves. That’s because she loves it all and feels that it has shaped her style in so many ways. “On any given day, I can go from Sade or Annie Lennox to Guns-N-Roses or The Isley Brothers. I’m a virtual hodge-podge of musical tastes,” she muses. However, it wasn’t always so. Growing up with a heavy gospel influence, she had very little exposure to other types of music until her teenage years. She recalls countless instances of “sneaking and listening” to blues music, (a descriptive term her parents used that included anything outside ...
gospel). Ironically, K.Avett is never too far from her musical roots, which is strongly evident throughout her sultry sound. “My greatest desire is that people truly connect with me through my music. Life is hard enough without having to crack a code to understand where I’m coming from. Whether I’m in love, upset, heartbroken, pensive or any emotion; I want you to be able to feel it.” And feel it, you will. She describes her debut album, Revelations, as a fancy fruit salad of beat-up funk, juke joint flavor & rocked out soul. Reaching audiences in the UK and beyond, K.Avett has been included in SoulSorts and Mi-Soul.com, Best of the Year. She has also found her sweet spot on a multitude of online radio station playlists across the U.S., as well as newly added FM radio play. She had her first music-film collaboration song, “Take It Slow”, which was featured in the 2015 DPI Playwrights Awards Gala, Short Film of the Year called “Her Eyez.” SoulTracks.com ranked her album “Highly Recommended” for 2015, in which she received glowing reviews from music lovers across the globe. Her debut album ranked #4 on the Amazon/Soultracks album sales charts. “Take It Slow” will also be featured on the highly anticipated Carter High Movie soundtrack, which is set to release this fall. With a smooth and soulful sound as authentic as the lyrics she writes, K.Avett is steadily gaining momentum as she blazes through the Dallas-Fort Worth area with her live shows and events. She continues to perform at various music festivals and shows across the state. With ‘Revelations’ still picking up more steam than ever, it gives her comfort in knowing that her next project has a great platform to build on. When asked about her trajectory as she gains momentum, she declares, “You can’t go wrong when you stay true to yourself…”
