Veteran St. Paul soul singer PaviElle has been uplifting the community with her voice ever since she was a child. And now she is using her platform to give back to today’s youth. This Sunday, she will take the stage at Fitzgerald Theater alongside Walker West Music Academy’s string ensemble and her own 6-piece band.   Once a student at Walker West, PaviElle understands the impact of giving valuable experiences to children whose talents are often underrepresented in the community. Because of her experiences growing up around powerful community leaders, today PaviElle has gone on to earn several prestigious accolades and honors, including performing alongside national orchestras and winning both the Jerome and McKnight Fellowships.   PaviElle’s interview with Local Show host Diane uncovers her excitement, joy and passion for engaging with the community in bigger ways than ever before.
