AVA
AVA is a singer-songwriter from Kokkola, whose unique sound is influenced by folk, indie, pop, and punk genres. AVA accompanies herself on guitar, sometimes fumbling gently, sometimes strumming into the woods. AVA is not afraid to make mistakes in her music or to be clinical but is a creative storyteller who wants to offer peer support to the brutality of life, to turn perspectives and sometimes just let it all feel.
The songs have a directness and honesty, moving between humor and tragedy, jumping from one mood to another in surprising ways. The songs are often about small everyday things, chores, or dreams, which, nevertheless, give rise to perspectives on life that are essential to humanity and the world. The despair of life is not something to complain about, but a blanket of peer support in which AVA, with songs and speaks, weaves a whole arc of drama for the audience.
