Some people have a destiny although practically nothing points to its obviousness. Avery*Sunshine is one of these lucky people. Despite that, the pianist and former director of church music, who landed a number one hit in the Billboard charts, only followed her destiny hesitantly at first. ''I had no idea that church music would prepare me for what I am today,'' Avery*Sunshine recounted. What does she stand for today? With her captivating stage performances, her open-minded, mostly humorous teasing and her optimistic hymns about love and life, she unites very different listeners. According to her own self-assessment, that's what she does best. Strictly speaking, she is so good at it that she has been showered with praise from cult artists such as the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, who raved: ''I love Avery*Sunshine!'' The unique, uncompromising soul/R&B sound of the Atlanta-based singer has made Avery*Sunshine believers out of luminaries such as Patti LaBelle and Berry Gordy. Boy George announced on Twitter: ''@averysunshine - I love voice of this woman.''
Avery*Sunshine describes herself as a mixture of Oprah Winfrey and Bette Midler. You understand this thought when you experience her live. In a genre that seems to be swamped with singers, Avery*Sunshine has pioneered her own path to remain true to her musical vision. ''My greatest wish is that my music will enable and encourage anyone who hears it to remain true to themselves. Dana and I are here for that reason,'' she said. ''I always strive to fill the space that I have been given. It's important to me that the small space I occupy in this world reminds everyone to shine, no matter under what conditions my new album is perceived.''
Avery*Sunshine and Dana ''Big Dane'' Johnson, her musical partner & husband, have toured or collaborated as a collective with different stars such as Michael Buble, B. B. King, Babyface, Anthony Hamilton, KEM, Gregory Porter, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Roy Ayers and Jennifer Holliday.
