Bio
Ava Joe is a British singer-songwriter whose music blends soul, jazz, blues, and alternative pop with deeply personal storytelling. Born in Devon and later raised in Surrey, she grew up in a musical household—her father was a touring musician—which exposed her to artists such as Radiohead and Nirvana from an early age. She later attended The BRIT School at 14 before continuing her studies at ACM Guildford, where she developed her songwriting and performance skills. Ava first attracted attention with her debut single "Black Smoke", followed by songs including "Polly Pocket", "Black Summer Babe", and "Eleanor Close". Her debut EP, Try Me (2025), explored themes of toxic relationships, healing, and self-discovery through soulful vocals and jazz-influenced arrangements. In 2026, she released her second EP, Big Beautiful Mess, which marked a more optimistic and confident chapter in her songwriting. The project reflects on the emotional ups and downs of early adulthood, pairing nostalgic soul-pop with richer production while maintaining the intimate lyricism that has become her signature. Ava cites Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday, Adele, Radiohead, Nirvana, and The Beach Boys among her biggest influences. Her smoky vocal style, jazz phrasing, and vintage-inspired aesthetic have earned praise from outlets including The Line of Best Fit, and she has performed at showcases such as SXSW London, establishing herself as one of the UK's emerging soul artists.
