AverySunshine

Denise Nicole White, professionally known as AverySunshine (sometimes stylized as Avery*Sunshine), is an American singer and pianist.

Early life and education

White was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, a small city southwest of Philadelphia, to Ruth Eleanor White and Irving Cyril White. She began playing piano at 8, after she saw a classmate perform, and learned to read hymns before beginning to study classical music at 11. At 13 she expanded her repertoire to include jazz and had her first recital. Three years later, her Aunt, a church choir director, asked Sunshine to fill in for her during a Sunday service at a Catholic church; she was subsequently hired by churches of all denominations, including the AME Church, where she performed with the award-winning Wilmington/Chester Mass Choir.

White, who sang in her high school choir, graduated from the Country Day of the Sacred Heart in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania in 1993. She attended Spelman College in Atlanta, and although she enrolled as a Piano major, she switched course after she became disillusioned with the music program. Sunshine graduated with a degree in Philosophy in 1998.

Call My Name

Call My Name may refer to:

Call My Name (Cheryl song)

"Call My Name" is a song by English recording artist Cheryl Cole taken from her third studio album, A Million Lights (2012). It was written and produced by Calvin Harris, and released as the lead single from the album on 10 June 2012. "Call My Name" is a dance-pop song that is compared by critics to songs produced by Harris for other singers.

The track received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Although many thought it was catchy, it was thought to be generic when compared to other songs played on the radio, and is noted for being a departure from Cole's previous works. "Call My Name" achieved commercial success on Cole's main markets, reaching the top spot of the charts in Ireland, Scotland and the United Kingdom. The song also became her first and only chart entry in New Zealand, peaking at number 13 and earning a Gold certification in the country.

The accompanying music video was directed by Anthony Mandler, and features Cole performing an elaborate dance routine with backup dancers. The release of it was promoted with two teasers, until the full video premiered on 2 May 2012. To promote the song, Cole performed the track on The Graham Norton Show, Stand Up to Cancer, Capital FM's Summertime Ball 2012, T4, The Voice Denmark, and The Voice UK. It was reported by various media outlets that Cole had lip synced her performances of "Call My Name".

Call My Name (The Brilliant Green song)

Call My Name is The Brilliant Green's eighth single, released in 1999. It peaked at #12 on the Oricon singles chart.
