Avani first began singing in his teens with a local South London band, but after a few years the band broke
But the band's short career one of those people who had seen them and been impressed by her vocal ability and stage presence was the UK manager Tony Hall
Tony's track record in introducing new British black music stars is unprecedented - in the seventies, he guided Real Thing career in the eighties, he succeeded in Loose Ends and the nineties, he handled the career Lynden David Hall
When Avani went back into Tony's office and played him a few of her newly written solo material, he was convinced he had found a more extraordinary new artist to come to the UK cities Roll of Honor
Her voice is unlike any other warbler runt either from Britain or the United States, she has than pure vocal power to attack a song like "U Do not Worry" - the opening track of her debut album Dome - which conjures up a completely different subtle atmosphere of intimate soulful ballad "Best Friend's Lover "with its tale of a love triangle
When Tony along with co-manager Paul Johnson - once a Sony-signed singer himself and later manager of Shaun Escoffery - took Avani Dome music so it took almost a play on the demo versions of these two songs for the label head Peter Robinson to agree to sign her
Dome has personal experience of introducing notable female vocalists and Avani follow in the footsteps of the likes of Beverley Knight and Hil St. Soul
She has co-authored all but one of lytoes of her album "The Real Thing" album's producer Shaun Stanley of Tek Dis Productions co-wrote 10 of them are written and produced by Don E and one is a cover of Loose Ends song "Watching You" - a U.S. No 1 R & B hit in the eighties - with guest singers from colleagues Dome artist Rahsaan Patterson and Carl McIntosh of Loose Ends
In a break from working in the studio on her own album Avani has appeared several times on stage with Carl on Loose Ends revival show sings songs sung by original vocalist Jane Eugene Avani says: "I love all the songs in all cases - and there has been a real tension working on stage with Carl and now have him sing on my album it's amazing"
Rahsaan was immediately an admirer of Avani was when heheard her sing, and since he has always been a huge Loose Ends fan, he could not resist the duet thing on the track
