Showing the Discogs bio

Maxayn Lewis (born Paulette Parker) is an American born vocalist. Her career began at the end of the 1960's when she was part of The Ikettes. In the 1970's she performed in a band named after her (see Maxayn) and married Andre Lewis. Later, the group morphed to Mandré and Maxayn Lewis was relegated to backing vocals, songwriting and playing instruments.
In the 1980's, she appeared as a backing singer with The Gap Band on several records.
In 2000, she was supposed to be the new voice of Snap!, but the album "One Day On Earth" was withdrawn due to the failure of the first single "Gimme A Thrill".
Aunt of Chynna.
