Ava Valianti

At just 17, Ava Valianti is emerging as one of independent music’s most compelling young singer-songwriters. Her new single, “celebrity,” offers the first glimpse of her forthcoming third EP, kismet, introducing a warmer, more soulful sound influenced by jazz and R&B. Exploring the line between infatuation and idolization, the song turns the idea of fame on its head as Ava, herself pursuing a career in the public eye, captures what it feels like to see someone else as the star of your world.

A fully independent artist with more than 650,000 streams and airplay on 300+ radio stations worldwide, Ava has earned recognition from American Songwriter, the Boston Music Awards, New England Music Awards, and International Acoustic Music Awards. She has performed in New York City, Nashville, and at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, while sharing stages with artists including Jamie Fine, Morgan St. Jean, The Strumbellas, and Jessica Baio. 

Following the indie pop of petunias and guitar-driven pop-rock of Sophomore Slump, “celebrity” begins an exciting new chapter for an artist whose sound continues to evolve while keeping honest, imaginative songwriting at its core.
