Audra Levi Priluck (born Audra Levi; 1974) (also known as Audra Lee) is an American actress, singer, producer and writer.
She has worked in television since the 1980s. She became a child star in a daily educational segment called Kid's Beat from 1983 until late 1988, which aired twice daily on TBS. She later went on to work on several shows in the 90s and 2000s. Notable titles include Mad About You, JAG, The King of Queens and The Young and the Restless.
Audra released a self-produced debut album called "I'm All In" on August 7, 2012 via iTunes and Amazon. Original songs include "I'm All In", "One Moment More", "It Seems Like Yesterday" and "Just For Now".
Audra's musical path began when her grandmother Estelle Karp taught her how to sing at 3 years old. Audra mainly focused on musical theater and opera throughout grade school, then expanded to pop/rock music in college.
Audra also had the privilege of studying vocal performance with Robert Ray (Atlanta) and John Hall (Los Angeles) throughout the 1990s.
Before graduating from high school in Atlanta, Audra was named MVP (most valuable player) in one of the first Grammy High School Jazz Bands in 1993.
As a Freshman at UCLA, Audra was selected as a solo competitor in the school's prestigious Spring Sing competition in Spring 1994. During that same time period, she also performed as the "Witch" in UCLA's production of "Into the Woods".
At the Univ. of Southern California, Audra was a co-founder of the SoCal VoCals in January 1996, and can be heard as a soloist on the a cappella group's debut CD that was released in 1997 ("Total Eclipse of the Heart"). Audra choreographed the SoCal VoCals' first place-winning entry in USC's Songfest in 1997.
More than a decade later, Audra dove into songwriting, and her debut EP called "I'm All In" showcases her melodic and heartfelt writing style on four songs. The EP was produced by Michael Getches and released in August 2012 via iTunes, Amazon and other digital distribution outlets.
Audra and her band (Tommy Reeves, Maria Martinez and Ron Suffradini) made their Southern California debut on June 1, 2 and 3, 2012 as a featured performer at The Home Entertainment Show in Irvine, where more than 10,000 music lovers gathered for this annual convention focused on high-end audio and live performances. Audra and Tommy Reeves returned to THE Show in 2013 for three additional performances. Audra was also invited to perform with the legendary Mike Garson on June 1, 2013 on THE Show's main stage.
