Ava Vegas
Ava Vegas is a German LA-based artist and producer known for her unique and eclectic blend of ethereal art-pop songs that span across genres such as cinematic folk, indie-pop, Americana, German chanson and psychedelic disco. Her work is characterized by a blend of acoustic and electronic elements, dreamy atmospheres, and sultry, fragile vocals.
Likely the most unlikely career in German pop in recent years, Ava Vegas originally wanted to build new worlds as an architect, the subject she studied and practiced. However, one day she began to build those worlds in her music.
Her music has been praised by Rolling Stone Magazine, Vogue, ZEITmagazin, ZDF and Deutschlandfunk Kultur and led to her touring Germany and the US. She is among the top 10 artists of Zeitgeist '24 in German Harper's Bazaar.
Ava grew up in a small medieval town in the German mountains as well as the Spanish island of Ibiza, then moved to Berlin to study architecture and work as a model. Her diverse background influences her music, giving it depth and a unique perspective that often conveys a sense of dark longing and otherworldly presence, while also having a humorous undertone.
