Dolly Ave
Los Angeles / Pop, Punk Rock, Indie Rock
Dolly Ave (she/her), an emerging Vietnamese-American artist, is carving out a space of her own as one of the few Asian women making noise in Rock. Her upcoming sophomore album, Killer Machine, is a bold statement of resilience and vision — the result of years of grit and independent hustle. That drive has attracted an impressive roster of collaborators, including Kevin Hissink (Grandson, Demi Lovato, Travis Barker), Mason Sacks (Shaboozey), Tushar Apte (Benson Boone, Demi Lovato, Blackpink), Sweater Beats (Lizzo), and Amy Kuney (Chappell Roan), among other standout writers and producers. Her debut album earned airplay on major stations like 103.5 KISS FM in Chicago, the tastemaking KEXP, and Los Angeles' ALT 98.7. Dolly has graced stages at major music festivals and received coverage from Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Harper’s Bazaar. In 2024, she was named to the Recording Academy’s prestigious NEXT Class. Her music has been featured across editorial playlists on Spotify, YouTube, Vevo, and Amazon Music, and her most recent independently produced showcase earned support from both Coca-Cola and Live Nation.
