Ava Joe – Jansen's Jamz

Raised in Devon, this British singer/songwriter grew up surrounded by rock music, thanks to her dad’s band rehearsals. She appeared in several school plays, but it was music that enchanted her most. She studied music performance at the famed BRIT School in London. Since she’s performed at festivals like SXSW London and is about to support Jalen Ngonda on tour and perform at The Great Escape. Inspired by Billie Holiday, Amy Winehouse and Adele, she debuted with “Try Me” in 2025.

Capturing the chaotic freedom of youth, her new single highlights the beauty in imperfection and embracing the messiness of life. Finding a soft, easy-going blend of blues, Americana and a touch of classic soul, the song has a distinct 60s vibe to it. Wrapped in a smoky haze, it’s the warm bass plucks, laid-back rhythm and an understated organ that create a trippy soundscape. And with her airy, multi-faceted vocals fusing with the melody, this tune is a hypnotic, free-spirited groove.
