About Ava Max in brief
Amanda Ava Koci, known professionally as Ava Max, is an American singer and songwriter. After moving across several states to pursue a music career in her childhood, Max signed with Atlantic Records in 2016. In August 2018, her song ‘Sweet but Psycho’ became her breakthrough single after peaking at number one in 22 countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, and New Zealand. Max released her debut studio album Heaven & Hell on September 18, 2020. Max was also featured on the song ‘Into Your Arms’ by American rapper Witt Lowry, and on David Guetta’s album ‘Let Me Be’ in March 2019. She is currently working on her second studio album, which will be called ‘Heaven & Hell’ and will be released in September 2020. She was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but moved to Virginia when she was 8 years old, where she competed in numerous Radio Disney singing competitions in malls across the country before entering high school. At the age of 13, she came up with the middle name Ava, which she adopted as her first name, claiming that Amanda did not fit her.
Her father is from Qeparo, Albania; her mother, Andrea, is from Sarandë. She has an older brother, who is also a classically trained opera singer, while her father was a pianist. In 1991, her parents fled Albania after the fall of communism in the country, and lived in a church in Paris for a year. While in Paris, they encountered a woman from Wisconsin and were given passports by her before immigrating to the United States to reside in Wisconsin, where Max was born. Max moved with her mother to Los Angeles in pursuit of aMusic career, but was constantly rejected for being underage. She went to South Carolina a year later, when she began writing songs about relationships she had observed, including those of her brother. After years of having demos rejected and not returned by record producers and songwriters, she met Canadian record producer Cirkut at a dinner party in 2014, and wrote hundreds of songs.
