With the triple threat of beauty, talent and personality Yanni G (Ariana Gavrilis) shows great promise as a blossoming singer, songwriter and all in one performer. Born and raised in the small town in central Connecticut, Yanni G gravitated toward music and performance throughout her childhood. She formed her own band at the age of 18 and began performing all over New England and the Tri-State area at night clubs. As she developed as an artist others took notice. Throughout this period of her career Yanni G was asked to lend her voice and writing to many diverse musical recordings by DJ/artists. As word spread about this growing talent and her name recognition soared, she caught the eye of MTV's ultimate cover band The Zoo. This first-rate mainstay in the club band circuit offered her the chair of lead singer and she happily accepted. After performing for a few years in The Zoo at clubs, numerous weddings, and sporting events such as MSG hockey games, in 2013 she formed The Wild Ones band and played 130+ shows up and down the east coast from Killington, VT, to Atlantic City, NJ to Key West, FL. After experiencing a few years on the road and perfecting her performance skills, she now has made the decision to focus her energy on songwriting and recording. Yanni G recently released her first county/pop single on iTunes called "Crazy Hearts" featuring and co-written with singer/songwriter American Idol winner Nick Fradiani, who appeared on America's Got Talent with his band Beach Avenue. While Yanni G is focusing on the writing/recording process, she is also putting together a schedule of upcoming shows. Stay tuned!
