- She moved to Los Angeles, California in early 2019. Aviva is unafraid of being different and has openly said that she is about “not fitting in and not wanting to fit in.” She has stated it is her mission to support the community of ‘outsiders’ she says she was and is still a part of.
- Her songs seek to “empower the listener to be who they are and embrace the things that make them unique.”In addition to her music, Aviva revealed in 2018 that she finished writing the first book in a young adult series called “SELF/LESS”, about a girl who lives in a world where art and creative expression are banned and punishable crimes.

- She described the song in an interview, saying, “This song is about not fitting in and not wanting to fit in.
- Sometimes that can be really isolating, but once you own it… it’s empowering.
- I think at some point everyone feels like they have to fight, just to be heard, let alone understood.” Upon its release, online music promotion channel, Mr.SuicideSheep uploaded “GRRRLS” and it received over 75K plays in the first 4 hours.
- The song grabbed the attention of the Nightcore community, which Aviva describes in an interview, saying, “Nightcore is just a genre of remixed music.
- It involves making it faster and higher in pitch or slower and lower in pitch.
- It’s a big thing for people in the gaming and anime community.
- I love my Nightcore family, they are some of my biggest supporters!” In 2018 “GRRRLS” went viral as a Youtube ‘meme’, receiving hundreds of thousands of shares.
- The song continues to remain active and is now a primary song used by the Gacha community, which uses games to create and personalize characters, and then adds the characters to backgrounds with speech bubbles or text, often accompanied by music to create stories.
- “GRRRLS” is featured in a vast quantity of Gacha videos uploaded to YouTube.In January 2018, Aviva released her single “DROWN”, for which she directed her own music video.
- The song received over 2.5 million streams across all platforms.
- She described the song in an interview saying, “It’s an exploration of the isolation we experience as we go through the ‘steps of reason’, trying to rationalize life and all the choices we make.”Aviva’s single “BRN” was released in April 2018.
- She has said the song, which is pronounced “Burn”, was inspired by author Tish Thawer’s quote, “We are the granddaughters of the witches you couldn’t burn.” The track was produced by MataisC and Jean-Paul Fung (Silverchair, Last Dinosaurs) and mastered by Chris Gehringer (Twenty-One Pilots).
