Avant Essentials

Myron Avant may hold the dubious honor of having initially signed to basketball legend Magic Johnson's record label, but there's more to this singer's catalogue than trivia tidbits. Blessed with a fervent voice, his debut album established the Cleveland man's talent for creating sultry, slow jam hits for the grown up set. As his career's progressed, he's also clocked up a collaboration with Lil Wayne and an ongoing creative relationship with the R&B vocalist KeKe Wyatt. At his finest, Avant is simply adult contemporary gold.
