Ava Rivello is an 18-year-old pop-rock artist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist whose music is built on honesty, vulnerability, and authentic storytelling. Through emotionally driven lyrics and powerful melodies, she creates songs that connect with listeners navigating heartbreak, mental health, self-discovery, and the challenges of growing up.
Music has been a part of Ava's life for as long as she can remember. She began singing as a young child, inspired by the music she heard in everyday life, and quickly discovered that performing and creating music felt natural. By the age of eight, she had picked up the guitar, later teaching herself piano by ear and expanding her musicianship to include drums. Today, she remains deeply involved in every aspect of her creative process, writing her own songs and shaping the artistic vision behind each release.
Inspired by artists such as Paramore, Pierce The Veil, Bruno Mars, Staind, and The Backseat Lovers, Ava blends modern pop-rock with deeply personal storytelling. Rather than writing songs simply to entertain, she writes from lived experiences, believing that honesty creates the strongest connection between an artist and their audience. Her debut singles, "(it was) never love" and "No Good," mark the beginning of an exciting musical journey, with additional original songs, including "Hold Me Till I Fall Asleep" and "Closer to Dead," set for release in the coming months.
While many first discovered Ava through modeling and social media, those experiences have become extensions of her creativity rather than defining her career. Fashion, visual storytelling, and digital content allow her to express different aspects of her artistry, but music has always remained at the center of everything she does. Beyond the music itself, Ava is passionate about encouraging conversations surrounding mental health. She hopes her songs remind listeners that they are never alone and that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. By openly sharing her experiences through songwriting, she strives to create a community where people feel understood, supported, and empowered to embrace who they are.
As her career continues to grow, Ava has been featured in Artenzza Magazine, Naluda Magazine, About Insider, and Blackbird News, highlighting both her artistic vision and her growing presence in the music industry. With new music, live performances, and exciting collaborations on the horizon, Ava is focused on building a lasting career rooted in authenticity, meaningful connections, and music that leaves a lasting impact.
