short biography

The year 2019 on the world music stage was marked by the appearance of a new star. The full name of the talent is Amanda Ava Kochi, but the world knows her by her laconic nickname "Ava Max". The girl was born February 16, 1993 in the US state of Wisconsin, in a family of immigrants from Albania. The mother of the future star was an opera singer, the daughter inherited excellent vocal abilities. Before the arrival of Aiva, in the early 1990s, the couple from Eastern Europe left for France. There, in the capital, the husband and wife lived in the parish for a whole year. Then Fate granted them a chance for a new, prosperous life. A woman, a casual acquaintance, helped the couple to draw up the documents, and the couple moved to the United States.

Aiva Max's parents at the time did not know the language and had rather modest possessions. After moving and having a daughter, everyone worked diligently in three positions to feed the family, to provide children (Avia has an older brother) with a decent future in an unfamiliar country. At that moment, as a teenager, Ava began to realize how important and valuable in life is to do what she likes, and not devote all the time to attempts at survival. For the opportunity to realize themselves in the works of the girl thanks her parents. They taught her to never give up, to keep faith.

When the girl was 14 years old, the family sold the house in the north of the central part of the country and moved to the California coast. Since childhood, the schoolgirl has participated in all sorts of song contests and tried to improve the talent given by nature.

The period of life in Los Angeles was a difficult time, full of trials. Disappointment rained down, as if in the season of continuous snowfall in the native Milwaukee. Life in southern California seemed completely different colors. A year later, Ava moved to South Carolina. All this time, the girl has not ceased to engage in creativity, writing songs. All that was needed at the beginning of a singer was a fateful meeting with the right person.

The second solo composition "Not Your Barbie Girl" had more success (10 000 000 views).

Another turn in his career was provoked by acquaintance with rapper Gashi. Born in North Africa, the performer has Albanian roots. His parents, like Ayva’s mother and father, were forced to leave their home country due to the beginning of a bloody civil war. For both families, the flight was the beginning of a search for a better share in the neighboring European countries, and then in America. Overcoming similar life tests in the past may have been one of the reasons for close, fruitful and mutually beneficial cooperation. His result was the track "Slippin".

June 2018 was marked by working with Witt Lowry, an avant-garde hip-hop artist, and the release of the acoustic version of the song "Into Your Arms". Then, in a month, the appearance of the recording of the composition "Salt" followed.

The song "Sweet but Psycho", which appeared in the music charts in August 2018, was a real musical bomb.

The format of charity is extremely close to her, the activity of a philanthropist is appealing. The star of the world stage strives to start working in this vein as soon as possible.

Best songs

Every Ava Max song is a reflection of her soul, thoughts, aspirations. She builds her dialogue with listeners through revelations. Feedback is important to her. The singer admits that the highest estimate of her creativity is the response of fans who experience difficult situations in relations with people, oppose themselves to society and find answers to exciting questions in her songs.

"My Way". The composition was the first solo in the career of the singer. The author says that two personalities coexist in it, sharply opposing each other. Behind the sweet appearance of an obedient modest woman is a rebel who is looking for her way. She does not intend to obey stereotypes, to be subject to prejudice. This is a kind of appeal to adolescents, young people who withdraw into themselves, realizing that they are not like their peers. The singer calls on everyone to unite and give everyone the right to personal freedom, self-determination, not subject to external condemnation. Only by following the voice of the heart, you can find harmony and happiness - the main motto of the song.

"Let it be me". Dance track - collaboration with David Ghetto has become a landmark for those who feel lonely. At different moments of life, many tend to feel abandoned, abandoned and completely unnecessary people. However, it is not. There can always be a friend who will reach out and offer help. It is only important to notice this sign. Even a simple word spoken by a stranger, a good dream that dreamed with disturbing clarity, a rhythm of a song, consonant with a heart beat, can help to take a fresh look at the world around us. Sometimes happiness is much closer than you can imagine, and if you want to call and say the main thing, it is better to do it without hesitation.

"Sweet but Psycho". "I think women are the strongest creatures on the planet," says Aiva, when asked what her main hit is about. The singer describes a situation where the boys themselves provoke girls in love with them for strange, insane acts that are regarded as insanity. Girls who are better and morally stronger than their boyfriends often end up "overboard" in a family idyll, and in fact it is customary to demonstrate it openly in society. Every girl who is thrown by a guy should have a chance to remain himself, and not seek to meet other people's expectations and imposed stereotypes. For too long, the woman was imposed obligations regarding appearance and behavior, it is time to give her freedom and rights not only at a formal level - this is what Ava Max is trying to convey with her author's creation.

The video, however, turned out with an obvious share of grotesque and black humor. The story of crazy Barbie, which is accepted methodically and coolly to revenge the guys after a painful parting with their beloved, only partly conveys the deeper meaning of the composition, although it meets all the requirements of entertainment and a well-thought plot structure.

The video is a nontrivial hymn to the female power over male hearts and shows how strong a grudge can be to a loving girl. From the direction of Ava, bold, but subsequently fully justified, was a step to create a song in the style of "lyrical dance pop", which in current circumstances is considered not the most "winning" genre for novice performers.
