Currently in Europe taking the world by storm, Canadian Billboard-charting recording artist, alternative soul singer Avery Raquel has been entertaining audiences professionally for over a decade.

Influenced by artists and songwriters such as Carole King, Amy Winehouse and Etta James, Avery creates personal yet relatable songs that are a soulful, fun mix of R&B/soul and pop with a flavour of her jazz and blues experiences.

New single, ‘You,’ was written by Avery as a songwriting challenge that she gave herself during COVID. The inspiration came from communication issues in a past relationship. “’You’ was written with the idea of a past situationship that I was in. The idea of not knowing what the other person wants with little communication on the matter. Communication is key,” she says.
