Dolly Ave, 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 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), Sweater Beats (Lizzo), and Amy Kuney (Chappell Roan), among other standout writers and producers.

Her debut album received airplay on major stations such as 103.5 KISS FM in Chicago, the tastemaking KEXP, and Los Angeles’ ALT 98.7. Dolly has performed at major music festivals and has been featured in publications
including Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Harper’s Bazaar. In 2024, she was selected for the Recording Academy’s prestigious NEXT Class, and she is currently a member of the Converse All Star Class of 2025. Her music has been highlighted across editorial playlists on Spotify, YouTube, Vevo, and Amazon Music, and her most recent independently produced showcase received support from Coca-Cola and Live Nation.
