Lavay approaches her material from the standpoint of an independent woman, combining world-class singing and musicianship with hilarious, provocative lyrics. Her musical stance is echoed in her real-life role as the owner of her own record label, Fat Note Records. Her debut album, One Hour Mama, received widespread critical acclaim and her second CD, Everybody's Talkin' 'Bout Miss Thing! garnered a prestigious 4½-star review from Downbeat magazine. With a brand new CD titled Miss Smith To You, Lavay's red-hot stage presence and world-class musical standards ensure that this sexy diva will continue to light up stages.
