About
One might think of Ava Lemert as a sax-playing Teena Marie, but this '5-foot 1-derwoman' of song —or 'Tiny DynaMite' as Ava's been called by her fans— is truly electrifying when she brings the soul & sax right into the audience. Ava makes EVERY performance memorable, intimate & unlike any other…You simply CANNOT miss seeing the Singing Saxstress of Soul™
Getting Noticed ...
The glimmer of Ava's many talents has caught the eye of some impressive names in the music business. "Working on a Groovy Thing," the only cover on Ava's latest album 12welve, was produced and arranged by Tower of Power keyboardist, Roger Smith. With a fresh arrangement, luscious strings, vocal harmonies and Ava's sizzling sax, the song is reborn with Ava's unique, signature sound. In 2012 alone, Ava garnered many regional and national awards and nominations and the industry is starting to take note and jump on-board with spin requests, appearances and much more for Ava in 2013 as a result.
Ava at Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival, 2012:
Ava recently made her first appearance in October, 2012 at the 26th Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival, where she performed as both vocalist and saxophonist for Brian O'Neal as well as a special guest of venerable British guitarist, Peter White during his encore funk medley.
Looking Ahead...
Ava's first music video, released in January, 2013, for her haunting original vocal/saxophone feature, "When the Night Falls" is a beautiful, emotional, visual feast. The video has been getting Ava some attention and has garnered her next big performance opportunity, her very own show at Spaghettini Grill in Seal Beach, July 21st, 2013. With a busy schedule, Ava has found time to craft even more unique signature songs as well as releasing an EP of covers on May 5th, 2013 titled "Ava L Soul." The EP will feature a unique reversal of roles in "Me and Mr. Jones" as well as Ava's incredibly smooth voice and saxophone work on the Sade classic "Your Love is King" with an elegant, new arrangement. The EP will also have Ava's signature sax/vocal one-two punch on "If I Can't Have You" made famous by Yvonne Elliman and her own sultry rendition of "Ooh, Baby Baby" complete with white-hot alto sax riffs and Ava's oh-so-smooth voice. Also planned for release in late 2013 is Ava's first bi-lingual (English/Spanish) original latin-funk tune "Te Quiero, Mi Amor."

"We had two opportunities to see Ava perform before our party. She is AMAZING! She can sing, she can play and she can keep a crowd enthralled! She made our special day...enchanting. Ava is the definition of classy, so smooth and professional, yet completely down to earth.
On a scale of 1-5 she is definitely a '10'~I can't wait to see her perform again!"

"On a scale of 1-5, I rate Ava Lemert a 10+!! What a wonderful and talented lady! I loved her performance. The music playlist was a perfect mix of instrumentals and vocals. The tunes written by her are beautiful. The PA system sounds great and was at the perfect volume. I appreciated her flexibility and support in helping coordinate her performance time with another performer that started before her. I am known amongst my friends as a critic and I have nothing but great things to say about Ava - I love her sound!! "

Christmas Party

"The entire experience was wonderful! I can't stress enough how happy we were, as well as the guests and the person hosting the party - since this was a surprise to him. He asked Ava for a business card so he can book her for future events. Her sax playing and singing are heavenly, truly. She was very accomodating with her music selection, and in the end, we were able to leave it up to her judgement as to what to perform, and she really proved she could please a crowd. We would not hesitate to hire her services for another function. She is a very warm and friendly person, someone you feel you have known all your life. "
- Denise M.

"Ava was completely professional and accomodating. She had to perform in a noisy restaurant, but perform she did! She was totally awesome. All of the guests at the party loved her music, and admired her for playing in noisy surroundings. She is a great musician and has a wonderful personality. I plan on seeing Ava play at one of her future engagements. Thank you GigMasters for finding Ava for me!
