Dolly Ave is a Vietnamese American singer-songwriter and musician based in Los Angeles, California. Not too long ago, she released a wonderful coming-of-age single, titled, “This Is Our Time,” produced by TAG Music (Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Lorde). The accompanying music video was directed by Mariah Morgenstern (24kGoldn “Mood”).
Dolly Ave – “This Is Our Time” music video
“When writing ‘This Is Our Time,’ the title, melody, and words came together naturally. This track is a breath of fresh air for me. During a great time of uncertainty, I was desperate for a reminder to not let perfect timing dictate my decisions. Instead, I invite change, and new experiences, and call for others to join me and feel confident about themselves when they listen to the music. I grew up in a situation and circumstances that were out of my control in a state where I felt like I could never leave a small town in Missouri. I want someone to listen to my music, someone not in a big city to be inspired knowing that I too started my career with a webcam, a dream, and no real music experience.” – Dolly Ave explained
‘This Is Our Time’ is inspired by Dolly Ave’s journey growing up in Missouri and finding her voice after the death of her mother. The cathartic song delivers a powerful message about taking risks toward living one’s truth. Dolly fully embraces her life as an artist and faces the fears that come with it. Furthermore, “This Is Our Time” is the lead single and title track from Dolly Ave’s upcoming full-length debut album, releasing soon via Venice Music. The project will follow her 7-track EP, “Sleep,” released in 2021.

Dolly Ave’s collaboration with rapper Charlie Curtis-Beard (“Play With It”) won 103.5 KISS FM Chicago’s #MusicMeetUp 4 out of 5 nights, topping tracks from Alessia Cara, Bazzi, Dixie D’Amelio, and Lil Nas X.

“I know you want to feel wanted.”

As a songwriter, Dolly recently co-wrote the track, “D***,” for MIYAVI, and it was released via the entertainment conglomerate, Bandai Namco. She again joined MIYAVI in October 2022 to perform during the Washington Wizards vs Golden State Warriors NBA preseason game in Japan.
