Lioness

About :

K.Avett (pronounced "kay uh vet") is a phenomenal recording artist/songwriter whose sound is as authentic and beautiful as they come. Although categorized as Soul/R&B/Jazz, her interests in other genres have shaped her unique style and helped garner a growing fan base worldwide.

Riding the wave of success from her debut album, “Revelations,” K.Avett has reached some notable milestones in her budding career like being nominated in the ‘Best New Artist’ category by Soultracks.com for 2015. In 2016, she reached #4 on the Top 80 independent chart by Digital Radio Tracker and performed during LA’s BET weekend. She was also named to the prestigious Grammy Recording Academy as an official Voting Member. K.Avett went on to be a featured artist on Multi-platinum and Grammy winning Producer/Songwriter, Madukwu Chinwah’s “Born To Win” project. In addition, she was an opening featured artist for Corinne Bailey Rae’s “The Heart Speaks in Whispers” Tour. With a smooth and soulful sound as transparent as the lyrics she writes, K.Avett continues to pick up momentum and branch out as the sound of thought-provoking, “feel good” music.

When asked about her future aspirations, she remarks, “Touring and sharing my music around the world, while being able to do this for years to come, and collaborating with a few of my musical idols, ranks high on the list.” With “Revelations” setting the bar for future projects, K.Avett is on a quest to showcase her growth as an songwriter with her sophomore album, "Lioness," which is set to drop Fall 2017. Her single, "The Matter (What Are We Here For) reached #1 on the UK Soul Charts, has received huge praise from soul music lovers, both nationally and abroad, and gives listeners a taste of what's to come. "This album touches on several topics and above all, speaks to discovering your truth and embracing your inner strength. Every single one of us has the capacity to reach our greatest potential - in life, love, and finding happiness. This is the very essence of the "Lioness" movement."

A great soul singer, and one with a very positive vibe – a sound that maybe grabs us the same way we felt when we first heard Jill Scott – and that's saying a heck of a lot! As you might guess from the title, K Avett's a singer who's not to be taken lightly – yet while her message may come on with the roar of a lioness, her sound is also warmly human – never too smooth, but with a great sense of flow that makes her overall sound as seductive as her lyrics! And despite all this hype, there's also a relatively understated quality to the record – which really helps it keep its charms and focus its energy through the entire set – on titles that include "Feelin Good", "Lioness", "Confusion", "Soldier", "In My Life", "Time Won't Wait", "The Matter", and "Down"
