Ava Elay has been crafting melodic explorations of love and passion since 2019. She composes at the piano and weaves her devotion to musical theatre and theatrical pop with a surprisingly mature lyrical approach for someone so young. As Joe Hoeffner of Two Story Melody notes, listening to her single "Rain", “[Elay’s] voice is clear, cool and refreshingly unaffected: she does not, as the kids say these days ‘sing in cursive.’ She sounds like she’s in complete control of her music.” Currently studying dramatic arts in Los Angeles, Ava is back in the studio to wrestle with the large backlog of her catalog and tease out pop gems that showcase her unconventional approach to composition, melody and poetry. "Spell of the Heart" is her new single and co-writing effort with producer Nick Lee and speaks to the quandary of embracing obsession while at the same time acknowledging one's inability to escape it.
