Ava Max, 24-year-old Albanian, will definitely become a pop star like Bebe Rexha, Dua Lipa and Rita Ora. With some successful hits, Ava, whose real name is Amanda Koci, feels that the merits of her insistence on fame belong to immigrant parents.
In an interview with Billboard, Ava tells that when she and her family were still living in Virginia - singing all the time just "Visions of Love." She went to school every day after learning English. Over time, she began singing more and more songs.
To be trained, Ava imitated her mother, operatic singer, and performed arie in Albanian whenever she was at home. At age 14, he began to win singing in Virgina and realized that her talent had the potential. "Mom told me that" there is nothing for you here and we moved to Los Angeles, "Ava tells.
"It was my dream for such a long time and finally it became a reality," says Ava. "Everyone thinks I went through the night, but I was so tired and there were times when I did not know what to do. It did not happen overnight. "
Avas took three years to sit in Los Angels. "My family believed we would meet with writers, but it was not as we imagined," says the singer. Everything changed when he sang "Happy Birthday" for the Circus producer, who worked with Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry.
The duo published a song in Soundcloud that hit the Atlantic record label. Ava signed for them in 2017.
Ava says the fact that he is an immigrant has made him more determined, more persistent. "You learn to be strong from the beginning," she says. In the new album, it plans to include a Mediterranean song with a few Albanian lines.
"People are looking for experiences. I'm trying to bring it, "concluded Ava.
