At the age of 16, she has already made her mark with over 300 radio spins, numerous theater and stage performances, and accolades including being a Top 3 Finalist in the American Songwriter's Road Ready Talent Contest, where she'll be performing live in the finals in Nashville on March 31.
“Ava Valianti is the kind of indie pop artist who turns everyday teenage chaos and emotions into songs that feel like pages straight out of a personal diary.”
“Sophomore Slump” opens with a soft and easy-going tone that immediately sets up the classic indie pop mood.

The production feels light and melodic, giving the song that familiar indie pop warmth. The phrase “sophomore slump of epic proportions” perfectly captures that phase where everything feels like a huge deal. As always, Ava Valianti doesn’t fail to impress with her vocal range and emotional depth.
