most intriguing new songstresses with Billboard
writing “Ava Max makes an impressive debut with this song” Her
viral hit “Not
Your Barbie Girl” is also now available across all DSPs

to listeners through her stellar featured performance on LA-based
Nü Disco Le Youth’s summer smash, “Clap
Your Hands.” Upon release, Idolator cited Ava as “another
fresh face to keep an eye on.” The high fashion-influenced companion
visual premiered via Galore
with the publication calling it “a hot little video that combines
the hype of fashion magazine nostalgia into a crazy ass dance
party.” The clip has since earned over 1 million individual
views via YouTube
alone.

pop anthems with a much-needed dose of fiery female empowerment,
Ava Max is a unique new talent, blessed with a seismic voice,
an individualistic high fashion mindset, and an undeniable knack
for cinematic, theatrical popcraft. The daughter of Albanian
immigrants, Max was born in Wisconsin but raised in Virginia
where she began blowing away audiences long before even entering
high school. Determined from a young age to grace the stage
and equipped with a vibrant voice passed down by her opera singer
mother, Max honed her skills performing at multiple singing
competitions. Inspired by her parents’ courageous escape from
the political turmoil that plagued their home country; she eventually
made the move to Los Angeles to pursue her calling.
