Yanna Avis

Yanna Avis makes her mark with her theatrical technique, tongue-in-cheek delivery & sultry sense of humor. The Titian-tressed chanteuse knows how to land a baby grand with style; her sets, peppered with French, American, Spanish, Italian and German songs sizzle in any time zone. 

Her unique style of international cabaret has made her a must-see in New York’s most prestigious rooms, including, The Firebird,  Maxim’s, The Supper Club’s “King Kong Room,” “Feinstein” at the Regency, The Metropolitan Room, Café Sabarsky and Café Carlyle.

At the invitation of maestro Gian Carlo Menotti, she performed at Italy’s famed Spoleto Music Festival. She was the first cabaret artist invited to the legendary festival and after overwhelming success was asked to return to perform at the “Cafe Chantant” on the Piazza. 
On the foreign scene, she has performed in London at the Jermyn Street Theatre and in Mexico city.
Ms. Avis was trained at the National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Paris.  She performed in various productions both classical and contemporary, including John Guare’s “House of Blue Leaves”,  “Boeing-Boeing”, a big Broadway hit, and she appeared in films and plays on French Television.

After Yanna met her husband Warren Avis, she put her homeland and her career as a noted stage and screen actress behind her and began to perform her own brand of glamorous continental style cabaret in 1992.

Yanna recorded her third album: “Speak Love to Me” with Lee Musiker, following her other two recordings: “Easy Come, Easy Go” and “This Time It’s Love”. Her albums are available in selected stores and on the internet at CD Baby, ITunes, Rhapsody, Amazon etc... including her own website at www.yannaavis.com
