The Fawntastic World of Recording Artist Fawn By B. Carter  Children and Animal advocate, Fawn he has become a vital force in the plus size community, as a shining example of beauty and compassion. Fawn is an award winning ASCAP singer/songwriter and recording artist, who has shared the top of the Billboard Dance Charts with Lady Ga Ga, Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson. Her song ‘Wish U Love’ on Hades/Stonedef Records, produced by Chad Jack and Tim Letteer made it to #6 in 2010 on the Billboard charts. The song was #2 only to Madonna, on the dance/house Masterbeat charts the first 2 months of it's release.

In 2009 she also won the VH-1 Songwriting award for her soulful song about racism, “Into The Light" and in 2011 won 'Cover Model Of The Year' for Large and In Charge Magazine. Although Fawn has had a hit song, been in National TV Commercials since the ripe age of 6 months and her voice and songs have been heard on numerous TV shows, CD Compilations, commercials and films such as The Natalee Holloway Story, Ugly Betty, Nip/Tuck, Ford, Mazda, Pontiac, Barbie, Ponds, Target, Guiding Light, Lavazza Coffee, The Young and The Restless, 1-800-Missing with Vivica A. Fox, Dead End Falls, and Witchblade, among others, she remains humble, grateful and surprised. Currently in the studio finishing up her next electronica album and a piano based compositions album, Fawn proclaims, "I never take for granted every little gift that comes my way, whether it's a song placed in film or a simple smile from a stranger. This life is a gift and we must make the most of it during the short time we are here". Her first song released when she was a teenager and produced by BT, Brian Transeau (Film Composer for Monster/Fast and Furious), ‘Oneday,’ raised a substantial amount of money and awareness for people with HIV/AIDS. All proceeds from the song were donated to the cause. Fawn explains, "At the time, I didn't know any one with HIV/AIDS, I just knew that I wanted my first song to be a gift back, as music was given to me as a gift. Now, unfortunately, I know friends with it and 50% of all people under the age of 25 are HIV+. I will always do what I can to help any one in need. I think this is what life is all about-spreading love and healing." When asked about why she fights so passionately for the rights of children and animals, she simply says, "They have no voice - we must be their voice and do what is right. It is our responsibility to protect them and keep them safe from all predators." She goes on to say, “in the case of children, we need to teach them well, teach them goodness and kindness to all living things. And concerning animals and children, the key word here is EDUCATE, because if we know better, we will do better." Fawn is the kind of person who puts her money where her mouth is. She has been seen in the media protesting the cruelty of animals, spoke at the proposed ban on fur by the West Hollywood city council meeting for West Hollywood to be the first fur-free city in the nation, made a cameo in the documentary, ‘How I Became An Elephant,’ and recently performed for the event ‘Diamonds Not Fur’ with Betty White, James Torme’, Linoel Richie, Ellen Lavinthal and Katie Cleary-Stern, She is one of the photographic subjects in a Coffee Table Book titled 'A Day In My Shoes: Pumps and Pups' by photographer Amy Martin-Friedman, with the proceeds benefitting Animal Alliance, an animal welfare charity. The photographs captured for this book will also be displayed at a gallery photo exhibit, which opens Saturday, November 5th in Los Angeles. Fawn said "I am thrilled to be a part of this beautiful printed tribute to humans and their furry families, we must be a light in the world and do what we can do to help stop suffering all over the world. Once we realize that all living beings are important, then we will know deep down in our souls that we have finally, really and truly evolved." Fawn continued, “As for this amazing book, there will be a Volume II coming out in 2012. Amy will begin shooting for that this Fall for any one who wants to participate to help animals.” For more info or to be included in the book: http://www.martinfriedmanphotography.com When asked about being faced with situations such as criticism and prejudices in the world, Fawn simply states, "It doesn't matter what some one says about you negatively or positively. Our job is to show up with compassion, be who we are born to be and be a light in the world. What deeply matters to me is what God thinks of me, because with out him, I wouldn't be here or even be a scintilla of who I am" With a gorgeous face and soul to match, it's no wonder Fawn is blazing a trail for all of us to follow. |
