RGM INTRODUCING – WE INTERVIEW AVA VALIANTI WHAT HAPPENED?
Hi Ava, Introduce us to you all and your musical history. I mean, I’ve been performing for as long as I possibly could! I’m a theater kid at heart, and started to act at age 3. Musicals really introduced me to singing, and ever since then, I’ve loved to sing. Around age 7, I started to see a voice teacher, and progressed in my singing abilities. I learned piano around the same time, but only recently picked up guitar. I started to write songs at age 9, although they started out pretty corny. I went to a songwriting camp a few summers ago, and my passion for writing songs really came from there! I’ve been making music ever since!
