25-city radio and media tour, plus Philly, L.A., London all coming in the next three months!! Things are getting hectic and I am doing all of this with my team as an independent label. Don't tell me it can't be done! People will support real music when you make it available. I love my fans!! Because of them, plus my fabulous team (partners Condia-Vetta Prestige Entertainment and DigiBoogie International), nothing is out of reach. I am going worldwide baby!! MAJOR impact WITHOUT A MAJOR LABEL. Believe that.
So, where do I start? I was just selected for one of the 5 exclusive performance slots at the Harvard ROCKS Music Showcase in Los Angeles on January 27, 2011. That is the day before my album release party in Beverly Hills on Jan. 28. I will be on stage in front of world famous songwriters, producers, and record executives. I mean literally the best in the world. I really need for all of my L.A. people (and everyone who was planning to travel out for the album release party) to come on Jan. 27 and support me! I will give you the time and place details soon . . .
This weekend, I am headed to Knoxville, TN for a show and a live radio interview on WUTK 90.3 FM. I am looking forward to the show at Ray's. If you happen to be nearby, come holla at me! 9pm, December 3.
********************Bring the Music Back
Here's an artist you really should know: Bashiyra from the U.K. is a singer/songwriter witrh a vibe that will remind you of Sade. She is an award-winning artist, and she is the only guest-starring musician on my reality show for Season 1! Bashiyra will be headed to the States in February to hang out and do a show with me while finishing the recording of her second studio album with legendary producer Herb Middleton (Mary J. Blige, Bobby Brown, Notorious B.I.G., Nas, Al Green). Then in March, Bashiyra will host me in the U.K. and we'll do another show! Bashiyra and I met on the set of the Mo'Nique Show and she is truly a great artist. http://www.bashiyra.com
********************
So much else is happening . . that it's hard to tell it all. But stay tuned! Always more to come.
My thought for today: Be faithful in the thing that you know you MUST do. Everything you need will then find its way to you.
That's a bit from my Diamond Mind. Tell me what's on yours . . .
Peace from The Dollhouse.

Doll is Spinning on Clear Channel Radio
Doll is spinning on Clear Channel Radio Magic 97 See "Masquerade" for yourself on the playlist with artists like Usher, Mario, and Fantasia

Doll is Goin Back to Cali; Looking for an Angel
It is countdown to 2011 . . . I'm headed to Los Angeles in January for a few BIG events. It's time to take this dream to a nationwide audience, and L.A. is the first stop. Why? Because for one thing, it is the city of dreams (wait, is that New York?) but most importantly for me, because that's where my parents lived and recorded with gospel greats (and my dad had a gospel record store and a radio show) in the years before I was born. It is the place I heard them tell stories about when they talked about what they "used to be" and "could have been." I don't want my life to end with a list of what I "could have been." So, here I go - I'm officially a California Girl. Well not for real because ATL is where it's at, but I am goin' back to Cali. The take over has hit the road.
Speaking of my dreams . . .
For those of you who know me well, you know that I write songs in my sleep. Like literally I will dream an entire song, hear the full band arrangement, harmonies, crazy lyrics and everything. Then I will wake up and have about 2 minutes to try to record it into my phone before it leaves my mind forever. Those are the songs that come straight out of my spirit, and bypass my mind altogether. I have never recorded one of those spirit songs without moving someone that hears it to chills or tears. It is a God thing. So I have had two nights in a row of the most amazing music coming out of my dreams. I hope to get in and record them soon. I used to run from my gift, but a wise woman told me to stand still and face it and embrace it. Once you give your gift to the world, it is out of your hands but you can't make magic with a closed fist. True words.
*****************Girls Just Wanna
Ok, so every girl, no matter how successful, still wants someone in their life they can just . . . you know . . . BE with. You ever wanna just BE? So every successful woman has gone through this -- you work hard to become successful, and then the men around you are intimidated by you! I know it's not just me. Matter of fact, Aretha Franklin went through it and wrote a song about it. Check me out singing it:
Anyway, I'm not sweating it . . . I know my prince will come :-)
Thought for the Day:
I tend to say "You are unstoppable as long as you don't stop." What I mean is, "DO NOT try to stop me because if you do you will get RUN OVER!!" I am not somebody who woke up yesterday and decided I am cute and want to be a singer. This is my destiny, so don't mess with me . . . ya heard?!
That's a word from my Diamond Mind. Let me know what's on yours -->;

Alright, so you can check out DollTV Sneak Peeks now . . . new videos uploaded on the regular.
http://www.dollavant.com/dolltv
Wanna see?
Filming for the show has been so much fun! Big shouts go out to mega producer Jasper Cameron, my Brilliant advisor Simon T. Bailey,, Mr. Digiboogie, Jessica Gaines/J. Fly Earrings, and Ms. Twenty for being a part of the show! First episode premieres 11.26.10
BRING THE MUSIC BACK****************************
I am now a new and fanatic fan of Rahbi Raw www.myspace.com/rahbi. When I tell you this man is the truth, I cannot be more emphatic. He is THE TRUTH! You have to see this phenom perform to believe it.
I have the pleasure of sharing the stage with Rahbi this Saturday Oct. 30th at the Gammon Ave. 80s House Party in Atlanta. We will represent and tear the roof off the mother in true supernova fashion.
Yes, real music is alive and well. The industry is sleeping but the beat still goes on. You have to see for yourself . . .
**************************************************
I will also be ripping the stage this Sunday Oct. 31 at the Royal Peacock red carpet launch in Atlanta. Come watch me do what I do . . .
I will be filming several music videos during the month of November . . . oh and my LIMITED EDITION CD is dropping 11.09.10 so you have to stay tuned for updates on that. Also putting together some more dates for you fans at venues in ATL, New York, LA, and UK. The Doll Avant movement is kicking into overdrive . . . just sit back and enjoy the ride . . .
My thought for today: I say it all the time. You are unstoppable as long as you don't stop. Don't let anything or ANYBODY tell you what you can't do. You are bigger than any limitation they try to put on you. You will rise and you will shine if you refuse to quit.
That's a word from my Diamond Mind. Tell me what's on yours.. . .

DollTV is filming in ATL NOW!!
My reality show is filming all this month! I am calling it DollTV for the moment . . . we will be getting all the footage of me behind the scenes: at photo shoots, on set for my new sitcom "Portfolio", in the studio, doing interviews with media, doing shows, rehearsing with my band, working on new music videos, hanging out with creative friends, and on the street discovering great new artists. Plus, I will be giving insight and advice to dreamers just getting started, working with non-profits, and finding ways to give back even while I'm coming up. This is not just your normal reality show: instead of focusing on who I'm dating and the petty drama of day-to-day life (who cares?!), we instead are highlighting both the grind that it takes to go from independent to major mainstream artist, and also using the power of celebrity to impact lives and change the world one fan at a time. So I will blast out the links soon so you can watch every episode of DollTV, and of course it will be on our You Tube channel and on Facebook (/dolltheartist). Also being broadast via web from www.mysignaturespace.com/dollavanttv. Check it out!
I want to give a shout out to my boys Fred Nash and Tyler McGowan, creators and designers of Mailloechii Clothing Line. Hot clothes from the coolest cats ever. I had a BALL judging the talent show with them last night. Check out the hottest men's clothing at www.mailloechii.com. And if you are in GA, AL, or anywhere nearby, you need to be at their November Bash on the Nov. 20th in Dothan with Rich Boy . . . it will be hot!
Ok, so I can't tell you about everything that is going on in my career in one post, but let me just tell you about the new sections of the blog that I will be updateding every week:
For Dreamer's Only.
**If you are headed towards a destiny, if you have a big vision, and especially if your dream seems unlikely because it is so big, this Room in the Dollhouse is for you. Here you will find quotes, tips, and insights on how to order your life--your actions, your words, your thinking, your relationships, your habits, and your money--in a way that will support your dreams.
Girls Just Wanna:
**Special Room in the Dollhouse just for the ladies. We girls face unique obstacles, and I have some hard-earned wisdom to share, so this is just for the girls who wanna have fun, change the world, live their dreams, and be happy.
Bring the Music Back:
**I will highlight new and non-major artists who are doing their thing, embracing creativity, and making real music no matter what the industry says. Interviews, video, links, and recommendations from me on who to check out. Fans of the hottest, the newest, and the realest in music will love this Room in the Dollhouse.
My Thought for the Day: Remember that no matter how close you are to someone, in life or in business, there are very few people outside family who are in your life FOR life. God sends people into your life for a season, and if you find that you just can't get along with someone or see eye to eye with them the way you used to, it could just be that it is time for the two of you to take separate paths for a season. Never fight or try to change the other person. If you are both sincere about what you believe and you are not coming to the same understanding, you can just agree to disagree and keep it moving down separate paths without any hard feelings. Fact of life: every relationship is not intended to last forever in its current form. Relationships, partnerships, and friendships grow, evolve, and sometimes end. Mary J. Blige said it best: "How can I love somebody else if I can't love myself enough to know when it's time to let go?" So stay focused and don't let anyone steal your dreams--just recognize what season you are in.

See Doll in LisaRaye Issue of 4Real Magazine
I am back to the blog . . . finally! With some major updates . . .
First of all, thanks to Elaine and the 4Real Magazine Fam for choosing me as The Artist of the Month in the LisaRaye issue of 4Real Magazine." http://ow.ly/1IOTS
Secondly, the AM Music family is on the move and big things are happening. Single is dropping soon, doing big things with the songwriting, and shows (by popular demand!) are coming up! I will be posting updates and the long-awaited videos to all the fansites: www.facebook.com/dolltheartist, www.myspace.com/dolltheartist, www.twitter.com/dolltheartist, www.reverbnation.com/dolltheartist and of course here on the blog.
