Early Life and Background
Ava Max, born Amanda Ava Koci, comes from a family with Albanian roots. Her parents are immigrants from Albania, who escaped the country’s communist regime in the early 1990s and eventually settled in the United States. Ava has often discussed how her parents' difficult journey and sacrifices shaped her resilient and determined spirit. Raised in Virginia after her family moved from Milwaukee, she grew up surrounded by music and began singing at a very young age. She has cited her mother, who is an opera singer, as one of her earliest musical influences.
Ava Max started performing publicly as early as 10 years old and quickly realized she wanted a career in music. In her early teens, she and her mother moved to Los Angeles to pursue her musical dreams, but it wasn’t an easy road. She faced numerous rejections and struggles to find her voice and style in the competitive L.A. music scene.
