Separated” (the remix to which features Kelly Rowland), “My First Love,” which one version features Ketara Wyatt, and “Read Your Mind” (the remix to which features Snoop Dogg on the extended promo vinyl). He was featured in the remix to the Lloyd Banks song “Karma” from the 2004 album The Hunger for More, and has also had a cameo appearance in the 2004 feature film BarberShop 2: Back in Business.
He also did a remix of The Pussycat Dolls song “Stickwitu.” He stated that he refused to cooperate with The Pussycat Dolls at first until they offered him a better contract and to perform it and sing his way for a better single. Avant has also appeared on the Oxygen Network reality TV show Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency when he asked Janice to have models dance with him during the release party of the album Director.

Interesting.... Very R Kelly, vocal tricks are similar. He has a beautiful voice but needs to develop his own style... Can't really fault his performances though. 7/10 based on vocal quality and content. I know he can do better given a style of his own. G. nuff!
