Always conscious and rarely concise, Avery May works with her music rather than for it. She delivers sprawling lyricism, and contrasts it with laser-focused kicks of reality in moments of stark lucidity. Often self-deprecating while acutely aware of her strengths, she strikes a comfortable balance between introspective commentary and exciting synth-pop.

Avery May is a 21-year-old British musician from London, writing and recording innovative pop music in a student dorm room. Drawing inspiration from her contemporaries and literature, she tackles known and lived experiences in a fresh and unusual way, combining her whimsical sense of personal style with eccentric and unique production.

All of this while having failed catastrophically as a violinist and studying for a law degree is pretty impressive. Or not. You might hear about it in a song though.
