Interview with HitQuarters artist Christelle Avomo who is No.1 on Billboard! - May 18, 2009HitQuarters artist Christelle Avomo is No.1 on Billboard!
Christelle Avomo's single ‘What You Gon' Do Wit It’ is top of the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales chart! After emigrating from Gabon, West Africa to Las Vegas, USA in 2006 without being able to speak a word of English, Christelle decided only two years later to embark on a music career and sent her songs to HitQuarters, where she became Artist of the Week. In February 2009, she released an EP that by May had broke the Billboard Top 40 R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
The 19-year-old singer is one of the music industry’s most extraordinary success stories. Not only did she move from Gabon to Las Vegas to No.1 within three years, but together with her business manager and main songwriter Don McGann, she achieved this without any record labels, without any contacts and without any knowledge of the music business whatsoever. As a dentist, Don hadn't even written any songs before meeting Christelle... Both of them are being exclusively interviewed by HitQuarters.
