Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
William Avant, a product on New Orleans, LA, grew up in Newark, NJ. William attended graduate school at Columbia University, Teachers College in New York. A former teacher and coach, he began playing drums in fourth grade and learned to play various percussion instruments beyond his graduate school days. In 1985, William met Adil Bayyan, formerly the Road Manager for Kool & The Gang, presently their Manager. Their friendship made it possible for William to tour Europe and for the first time he had the opportunity to witness and partake in a great musical experience. The desire to play his own music was rekindled.

In the Summer of 1985, William aka "The Kid" organized an ensemble known as the Big Kahuna Band. After playing what he describes as "specialty gigs" performing much cover work, William decided along with his cohorts to abandon this path to pursue creating, arranging and producing an eclectic style of music known as "World Beat." Simply stated, "a rhthym/percussion drive sound buffet."

The artistic talents of his cousins Gerard Avant and Jerrel Battle along with his youngest brother Ivan, needed a creative outlet to allow their collective and creative energies to flow. In Spring 1997, they became Kid Chocolate's Original Creole & Soul Band.
