 Singer/Songwriter
Deborah Avans was born in a small town on the
outskirts of Chicago, and was adopted at the age of
two by a couple from Alabama. When Deborah was four
they moved to Alabama where her parents were from
and that's where she was raised.
When Deborah was old enough to walk, she would sing
songs from TV commercials. She would sing "I
say goodbye, you say hello" by the Beatles, and
has been singing ever since.
Deborah grew up
with a strong Christian background attending
services during the week and on weekends. Growing up
singing in church, Deborah gives credit for her
ability to sing and natural talent to God. She sang
in church and school functions and was a member of a
gospel quartet at the early age of 15.
In 1998, she
wanted to see if the world thought she had talent
and decided to take her singing out in the public.
She went to karaoke places around town and won
several contest. In 2000, Deborah recorded a CD
titled "Don't Come Cryin To Me" and move
to Nashville. There were some major labels that were
interested in offering a recording contract. She
became a regular backstage at the Opry and met a lot
of friends in the business. She performed at the
Stardust Theater in Nashville. That is where she met
the members of the band she toured with. Deborah
sang with several bands for about six years, getting
all the experience she could.
After performing
at clubs, bars, casinos, theaters, and touring,
Deborah began to realize that God had a better plan
for her. She decided to move back home to Alabama in
the spring of 2007, and devote her time and energy
to do the Lord's work spreading the gospel through
her ministry and songs.
Deborah attends
Agape Baptist Church in Scottsboro, Alabama and is
married to David Travis with four children. and one
grandson.
"In all the places I have been, God was always
watched over me", she says. "God will
never leave you". He is a patient and forgiving
God. People may gossip about you or mistreat you,
but not God. He is the one true friend that will
always be there."
