Avery Wilshere
Ellis discovered Avery Wilshere on PlayMe, when the younger man put his talent show video online. Ellis signed him/her to the record company immediately. Avery says he is a visionary and a true legend, as well as the man to whom Avery owes his/her career. While Ellis encourages Avery to experiment, he still wants Avery to be cautious for his/her sophomore album.

Your Character
When Avery chooses to mentor you on One In A Million, Ellis comes forth to announce that instead of the usual award of a $25000 cash prize, this week's winner will get an exclusive record deal on his label. When you win, you are immediately whisked off to New York City. In Chapter 5, it is revealed by Fiona that he specifically picked an apartment in New York for you. As she puts it, "He wanted you to have the label's nicest apartment".

At the end of Chapter 7, you meet him at an empty restaurant. Seeing that Jaylen Riaz (the runner-up in the One In A Million competition) is capitalizing on her popularity by releasing her album with a competing record company while while you are still working in the studio, he tells you that he is beginning to wonder if he should have offered his record deal to her instead. He then tells you that you need to finish your album now. The conversation continues in Chapter 8 and he tells you that he is about to drop you. He gives you an alternate ultimatum; if you sell one of your past unfinished songs to another artist, it will keep your name in lights and keep your momentum up. You have 48 hours to think about it. Later, you agree to sell the song to give you more time to write your own music for your album instead of using ghostwriters. After two months, you release your album.
