About AvaRue
Meet AvaRue.
A little about me
AvaRue is a young singer-songwriter who writes her own lyrics and melodies and brings them to life on piano and guitar. Her songs grow out of her own experiences and the curious, thoughtful way she sees the world.
Music has been part of her life from the very beginning. She started classical piano at four, and at just five years old she picked up a ukulele and wrote her first two songs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, she has kept developing her craft at the piano, discovering how words and music can work together, and has more recently added guitar, opening up fresh ways to write and perform.
Here you’ll find a collection of her original songs and performances, a look at her journey so far as a musician and songwriter.
