It's a New
Era! It's a New Sound! It's a Dawn of a New Day!
“We’re
Gospel, Hip Hop, R&B, Funk, Jazz, Rock, Classical inspired…
there’s no limit to our musical influences,” said
Ava and Noelle. “When it comes to writing and producing
our music we have no barriers!”
Originating from Louisiana, currently residing in Minnesota, and
dynamically performing in Minneapolis, home to musical greats
like Sounds of Blackness, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, James Grear
Company, and Prince, the multi-talented sister duo, Ava and Noelle
have been performing and writing their own music since preschool.
Currently, Ava and Noelle are praise and worship leaders for teens
and adult worship services at Speak the Word Church International,
pastored by Pastor Randy and Roberta Morrison.
Ten years ago, Ava and Noelle, then ages 9 and 7, released their
first independent gospel cassette entitled “Rush to the
House.“ “Rush to the House” received raved reviews
locally and even garnered outside radio airplay from WYLD in New
Orleans, LA.
“Wow, what an exciting time for us,“ exclaimed Noelle.
“To see where God has taken us from “Rush to the House”
to our current release is mind blowing.” “All the
lessons we learned, the places we performed at, all the people
that we met have definitely prepared us for this moment,”
added Ava.
Because of the success of “Rush to the House” Ava
and Noelle developed a devout following of fans throughout the
Midwest, especially in their home state of Minnesota. Many fans
flock to see them perform at local clubs, teen conferences, high
school and college rallies. Some fans even join them at church
where Ava and Noelle lead the youth in praise and worship at Speak
the Word International Church. Ava and Noelle have also shared
the performance stage with artists Tonex, Donnie McClurkin, Bishop
Eddie Long and Fred Hammond. They have also excited the masses
with “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” while singing
at a Fox Sports featured Minnesota Twins game.
Inspired by gospel artists like Mary Mary, Yolanda Adams, Kirk
Franklin, and The Winans, Ava and Noelle impact a new generation
of gospel fans with their fresh and inspirational sound. “We
hope our music makes people look within themselves and discover
their purpose while having a great time listening to our music,”
said Ava. “We want people to know that GOD loves them and
that GOD’s love is fun, energetic, exciting! It’s
cool to love GOD!” This message is a prominent theme on
their new release, “Dawn of a New Day.”
“Dawn of A New Day” is an array of 13 melodic gospel
gems written by Ava and Noelle. Each song is an individual stand
out conveying unique sounds and clever lyrics. “Life is
good even when it’s bad, it’s all about how you respond
to your situations. That’s why Ava and I wrote songs like
‘Dawn of A New Day’ and ‘Stay Alive’,”
said Noelle. “We like to talk about real life experiences
and their positive outcomes while working our fans out to a hip-hop
beat or funked-out club jam like ‘Stay Alive”.
The staff at HER? Records unanimously
voted “Dawn of a New Day” the lead single for the
project.“ “An intricate drum grove wrapped around
a melodic bass line and soulful harmonies, “Dawn of New
Day” is about letting go of the past and moving on”
said Ava, producer and label CEO.
The introspective "Mirror”, encourages its listeners
to do a double take. “Mirror” was a fascinating song
to write. It’s a song about examining yourself, loving yourself,
understanding yourself, and seeing yourself through GOD’s
eyes, His mirror,” said Ava.
Other gems include the hypnotic street banger “Just Because”,
featuring up and coming MC Lance, the Neptune’s inspired
track “Lover of My Soul”; the rocked out ballad “Always
There”, with explosive guitar licks from former Prince bandmate
Levi Seacer Jr.; and the praise anthem "I Live to Worship
You".
With the release of “Dawn of a New Day” Ava and Noelle
look forward to promoting their CD at church events, gospel concerts,
summer jams, high-school and college tours, radio, retail and
media outlets.
“We
had a FAN-TAB-ULOUS time creating this CD and look forward to
performing these songs throughout our career,” said Ava
and Noelle. “We’re excited about this project and
can’t wait to share the love of GOD with the world.“
We are also excited about “VIRGIN”, our hot new single!
Teens and parents love it! “Cooking the man some biscuits”
is the most hilarious line in the song to our supporters! In conjunction
with this song, Ava and Noelle speak about “Sexual Purity.”
We are highly driven by “Power to Influence”, another
hot new single! We play it over and over ourselves! Ava and Noelle
really believe in what they are singing!
It's
the Dawn of a New Day--the Future of Gospel is at Hand!
