About Ava Max

Amanda Ava Koci (born Amanda Koçi; February 16, 1994), known professionally as Ava Max, is an American singer and songwriter.

The song peaked at number one in 22 countries and reached number two and number ten on the Australian ARIA Charts and US Billboard Hot 100, respectively. In March 2020, Max released the song "Kings & Queens", which peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 19 on the UK Singles Chart. It was followed by the release of her debut studio album, Heaven & Hell, in September 2020, which peaked at number two on the UK Albums Chart and at number 27 on the US Billboard 200. In November 2020, the song "My Head & My Heart" was released, which peaked at number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 18 on the UK Singles Chart.

The album's second and third singles, "Lovin Myself" and "Wet, Hot American Dream", followed on May 29 and July 1, respectively. Don't Click Play was released on August 22, receiving mixed reviews and underperforming commercially compared to Max's previous efforts. In December, she announced via social media that she left Atlantic Records after nine years. In 2014, Max met Canadian record producer Cirkut, an acquaintance of her brother, at a dinner party in the Chateau Marmont.
