Ava Max
Born February 16, 1994 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Her real name is Amanda Ava Koci. She’s American singer and songwriter. Her music genres are pop and dance pop. She is best known for her single “Sweet but Psycho”.
The success of this song was to be followed by another single ”Blood, Sweat and Tears”, which was to be released in December 2018. But in the end, the release of the single was canceled. One can only speculate why, however, it can be assumed that Ava Max, in agreement with the management, believed that the song was not suitable enough to benefit from the success of ”Sweet but Psycho”. In March 2019, the fans finally saw it and another single called So Am I was released. Although it did not celebrate such success as ”Sweet but Psycho”, it is still a promise that Ava Max will not be the star of just one hit and more hits will come.
