Music Media | Meet Avery Wilson (From Vine to Shine) Friday 25 September, 2015
Meet Avery Wilson. You may have heard this cutie on the radio but haven’t put a face to the song, or maybe he looks vaguely familar. Avery Wilson is the young up & coming R&B singer who got his start on the social media app, Vine, where he would sing various pop songs that got him national attention. He has came a long way from Vine – actually he is has went drastically from Vine to Shine as he is now signed to record label RCA Records.
Check out some of the Vine video he made before he got signed to a major label. Pure Talent.
Meet & Greet Moderation by Rea Davis & Sean Garrett for R&B crooner Avery Wilson
I attended an exclusive meet – n – greet in Atlanta for Avery Wilson, hosted by Sean “The Pen” Garrett, with a moderated Q & A session from journalist Rea Davis. Ever since his national debut on NBC’s “The Voice” music’s hottest rising new male star Avery Wilson has rapidly become a household name and a fan favorite. His unparalleled vocal talents rival in comparison to some of today’s hottest stars, making him one of the most sought after musicians on the rise.
Sean Garrett “The Pen” who is known for writing some of your favorite songs in the industry, has taken Avery Wilson under his wing to make sure he will be a household name real soon. As Sean’s protege, he talks very passionately about Avery Wilson and the state of music today. He said he is investing time and energy on Avery, because he sees the glow and superstar brand potential that he possess with his vocal musical instrument. He wants Avery to bring a new flair to the industry, where currently the state of R&B is under distress with it merging more and more with Hip Hop. The R in R&B almost is starting to stand for “ratchet” because instead of singing to women, current R&B stars are singing against women and love. Music is starting to go in another direction of trap overall repetitiveness where the talent is not shining in the music anymore. Sean wants to bring the talent and magic back to R&B with Avery Wilson.
At 20 years old (yes he is very young), he has already accomplished a lot. From singing songs to his phone forming an online fanbase, Avery proves social media is one of the biggest platforms to use for success and mass discovery with your passion. His passion has manifested into dream come true realities, being on The Voice and now an artist on RCA records look what has transpired within a short amount of time! He is a testament that if you are consistent and truly talent, you can get discovered publicly — and become a star! He had a big fanbase just with his social media influence alone…he is the new wave of celebrity discovery in this modern age!

I am a fan of R&B and new talent desperately needs to come out. The industry has taken a turn and the 90s and early 2000s was the last of longevity music.
I love R&B music! I’m so happy that many upcoming artists have a greater opportunity to be discovered with the exposure available through social media platforms.
I am going to have to check this out. My friend and I were just talking about how r&b has gone by the wayside since 20 years ago. It is so sad. Will check this guy out.
What a handsome up and coming R&B singer. I’m not a fan of The Voice but hear that it provides great exposure for talented singers. More than likely my teens are listening to him and I don’t know who he is.
It’s so amazing how artist get discovered on things like Vine and Youtube nowadays. It definitely is inspiring and really proves that if you follow your dreams great things can happen <3
well how much fun was that meet and greet!? I have to be honest and say I don’t know much about music these days as I am super busy with my kiddos, but I bet my kids have heard of this gentleman.
When I was in high school in the 90s, R&B was good. Now, not so much. I don’t watch The Voice (it’s too sad), but I definitely agree that the genre needs new talent!
Wow, he is really good!! Didn’t he perform at the BET Awards?? I think I watched that performance like 10 times – rewind, watch, rewind, watch. LOL He’s super talented and adorable!

My, he is tall! I’ve never heard of him, but I don’t watch the Voice. Sounds like things are working out for him.
Today the best R&Bs are the ones made 20 years and beyond ago. Those are the real classic as what they call music today is definitely not.
Wow, great blog post a fan of R& B listen at times and believe new talent need exposure. R& B need a fresh soul, new talent will do just that.

He is super talented and TALL lol. I love R&B and I definitely think he is a refreshing addition to the genre.
I definitely thing R&B needs something new. I’m sorta over hip-hop singers – I want to see some true R&B artists emerging.

I am a fan of R&B but I think the industry does need some new talent. It’s important to keep the songs and artists always evolving to stay fresh!
I love it when a great artist is discovered on youtube or vine. And I think new talent is a must for a music genre to survive.
I have never heard of him before but I can’t wait to hear his music and I have a feeling I will since he is a upcoming star

That is so great that social media helped him gain success. I wish him all the best in the future!
He has a wicked awesome voice, I could listen to him sing all day long. He’s not bad on the eyes either, hehe 🙂

It’s nice to meet young up and coming artist. They seem so enthusiastic and they are offering something fresh in the industry.
It’s amazing to me to see how many young talents have gotten their big break from social media. Whether it be vine, youtube, or another platform.

I do like R&B. I don’t know any of the new songs though, I’m so out of touch w/modern music.
I used to love R&B when I was a teenager. But, it seems music lately is all about hip hop. I’d love to see some great R&B crooners again.
I haven’t seen a lot of R&B lately that doesn’t seem like hip hop or Rap to me. Give me some from the 60s & 70s though. They knew what it was.
Wow, he is really good!! Didn’t he perform at the BET Awards?? I think I watched that performance like 10 times – rewind, watch, rewind, watch. LOL He’s super talented and adorable!
