Really Good Vocals is what Charlene Ava is all about.
Charlene Ava has been a session and demo singer for years, free lancing in New York City, Nashville, and London.
Charlene not only works in these markets, she also does long distance sessions from her home studio and frequently demos songs for clients from California to the UK.
She is signed to the prestigious VAM Nation Entertainment, the top management company for session and jingle singers in New York City and is the voice on a few national commercials: McDonald's, Nationwide ("Nationwide is on your side!"), and Maybelline. She's also the vocalist on the Toyota commercial that ran in Japan in 2009. She's the voice on the Arabic flared jingle for Famous Footwear, "Shoe Love".
She's the singing voice of Oxy the Oxygen atom on a new IMAX film called Molecules to the Max. She's also the voice of the Bratz doll Chloe on the Universal Records release Bratz Rock Angelz. She was lead background vocalist for M.I.A. summer 2010.
She actively records for great writers and producers such as Marcus Hummon (Grammy Award winner), Trey Bruce (Emmy Award winner), Christopher Neil (Celine Dion), Phil Galdston (Cher, Celine Dion, Madonna), Tony Shimkin (Madonna, Nine inch Nails) and more.
Charlene sings pop, rock, r&b, electro and even Arabic music (she's of 100% Egyptian background). She also works professionally as an actor and approaches session singing very much like an actor. She's known for her ability to really come in tune with the character/emotion of a song.
"To anyone looking for a fresh voice for demos, Charlene is perfect. I've been using her on demos for most of the year, from rock, pop to country. She has great pitch and a beautiful tone that stays warm all the way to the top of her range, which is in itself alarming. She's on time, knows the melody, and is sensitive to the emotional call of the song."
--Trey Bruce (Big Tractor Music - Songwriter, Emmy Award Winner, CMA Award Winner)
"Charlene has a rare gift of sensuality, spirituality and honesty in her voice and in her writing...I have had the pleasure of working with her in theatrican settings where her emotions are easily drawn upon...because they are so wonderfully near the surface. I am a huge fan."
--Marcus Hummon
(Sony Music Publishing - Songwriter, Grammy Award Winner, CMA Award Winner)
"Charlene in my opinion has real talent and the potential to have a very succesful recording and live career. Her songs are fresh, intelligent and well structured. Watch out for her - a star in the making!"
--James Bradbury (EMI Records - Marketing, London)
