Ava Bennett is a young artist from Annacotty, Limerick, both a singer and actor she has performed in a multitude of productions since a very young age.
She got her start onstage and went on to attend drama schools and worked with singing and acting coaches to further develop her art.
Along the way gaining experience in different projects on stage, film and any opportunity of performing that comes along.
Still continuing to perform as an adult, she endeavours to remain an active presence on the music scene as she has primarily had experience doing live gigs in bars and hotels in Limerick, which is the enjoyable part for her as Ava said, “I love working on my craft whenever I can, performing in front of people and adding more to my profile, as well getting the best experience in order to help me grow as an artist.”
Heavily inspired by RnB, Pop, Jazz and even a touch of country, Ava frequently utilises these sounds and pays homage to them when it comes to working with others on creating her own sound for her music.
As well as singing covers of famous songs of those respective genres when gigging. She loves nothing more than listening to her own favourite artists. Most of which are best known as being the world’s great diva singers.
Her favourite being mainly Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion, as well as a variety of other talents. Aside from everything pertaining to the performing arts, Ava is also passionate about literature and history as Ava is always keen to learn different things.
She hopes to be a good inspiration to others, particularly the next generation, who not only wish to be a part of the music industry, but all in all to motivate people and encourage them to pursue what they want in life.
“I consider myself to be a supporter of mental health’ and I’m proud to be part of a booming generation that is ever growing in dealing with mental health issues, something highly close to my heart,” Ava said.
She believes through music and art people can find themselves, even in challenging or precarious times and can use whatever difficulties or struggles to help them create something unique and something to share with people around them.
As for this new release she feels thoroughly proud of the accomplishment and was fortunate to have worked with individuals at Launchpad studio Limerick ,who saw the vision of what she was seeking and helped provide her with the finished production she envisaged for the song.
Cadillac Ride is Ava Bennett’s debut single bringing a feel of the Jazz genre to it and the sound, imagery and storytelling are inspired by 1950s culture.
The lyrics are also inspired by poetry. The story of the song itself explores the physical and metaphorical journey of two young lovers, discovering the true depths of their relationship, where it’s going to go, do they really want it and where the journey is going to take them as they travel together on the open road.
Ava said, “Working on this project has taught me a great deal about myself, not just as a singer but as a writer. Writing is something I equally love and it is such a creative and imaginative thing to do.”
