American Jazz/Soul singer, songwriter, and record producer Ava Monroe has released He Shall Purify, a powerful Christian/Gospel cover of a Quincy Jones-produced song originally sung by the legendary Tramaine Hawkins.
Ava Monroe, known for her collaborations with iconic artists such as Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, and Aretha Franklin, brings her own unique style to this beloved gospel classic. Her version of He Shall Purify captures the heartfelt emotion and love for God that she holds dear. “I love Gospel music and the love and God we sing about,” says Ava. “I am very proud of my version of this song and would love for you to take a listen and share in the joy of the season.”
Ava’s journey into music started early, with her love for singing evident when she chose her first microphone over dolls and toys. Her professional career began when she sang behind Michael Jackson at the Super Bowl, an experience that solidified her path in music. Since then, she has shared the stage with musical legends including Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Patti LaBelle, Yolanda Adams, and The Clark Sisters. She has performed at prestigious events such as The Grammys, American Idol, Soul Train, and The Super Bowl.
In addition to He Shall Purify, Ava’s Wrapped in Joy album features a collection of Christmas songs that blend her jazz and soul influences with the spirit of the season. The album is a true labor of love and a testament to Ava’s devotion to creating music that inspires and uplifts.
