Avalon embodies the quintessential patchwork of a first-generation Chicana, weaving together a deeply rooted Mexican heritage with a classic OC upbringing. It was the unrelenting soundtracks of her upbringing— marked by powerful maternal guidance into the world of pioneering female artists. Her mother, a devoted fan of both Madonna and Courtney Love, introduced young Avalon to these icons through records and transformative live experiences—taking her to witness both Madonna's theatrical mastercraft and Hole's raw emotional power in concert. These early exposures to powerful women commanding stages would prove as foundational as her and her father’s annual pilgrimages to see Vicente Fernández perform, where her family would faithfully secure side-stage spots and share tequila shots with the legendary singer. These intimate moments with Vicente planted early seeds of storytelling. New Wave and Goth were a must in the household. There was even a life-shifting moment in 2011 when Lou Reed paused on a golf cart to hug the young fan—an act perhaps more momentous than his immortalized lyrics. Avalon’s creative awakening began around then when she discovered Grimes in her Visions era, where the artist's complete control over her craft—from production to visuals—illuminated the possibility of genuine artistic autonomy. It wasn’t long before Avalons’ own tracks, tinkered on cracked Ableton downloads, began appearing on SoundCloud in 2014.
Whether sneaking into iconic queer parties—Mustache Mondays, Rhonda, and GHE20G0TH1K—or becoming a fixture in Burger Records' suburban garage-rock universe, Avalon has always positioned herself at the convergence of underground movements. Her first live performance at Beach Goth in 2014, armed with just an APC and laptop, sparked a mosh pit, an energy that would become characteristic of her shows, as most recently evidenced during her late 2024 tour with The Dare. This raw vivacity carries through to her DJ sets, from residencies (opening for the likes of Future and Migos) to Boiler Room debuts, renegade raves, iconic debuts worldwide at the hottest clubs in Tokyo, Montreal, Paris, and London, and even a prestigious performance at NYC's MoMA PS1.
Even in her artistic ascent, Avalon remains a voracious academic. Avalon maintains the intellectual rigor of a philosophy and religious studies double major, bringing academic depth to her creative exploration. Her membership in the Builders of the Adytum, a Los Angeles-based Hermetic group, alongside her training as a certified Death Doula under INELDA, reflects a holistic approach to understanding existence—its mysteries and its inevitable conclusion.
Avalon's forthcoming double single, Harder to Reach Than God and Scream! (No One Can Hear You), signals her rise towards becoming one of the most eclectic visionaries bursting out of the Los Angeles landscape. The sonic philosophy draws from the deep well of specters both imagined, echoed, and innovatively reinvented in a distinctly Warholian manner. Like Throbbing Gristle's industrial provocations or Slum Village's sample-heavy transformations, Avalon's work exists as "anti-music music"—where traditional structures are dismantled and reassembled with futuristic intent. This approach echoes through her production techniques, which marry Timbaland's revolutionary sound design with the pastiche sensibilities of Ariel Pink, creating a tapestry that questions the very nature of originality and time. Like heroes Dean Blunt and Lana Del Rey—whose unflinching honesty is somewhat of a north star—Avalon's work strips away artifice to reveal raw truth, carving its path through the digital age. Like a DJ spinning a mix that makes disparate genres sound like sonic siblings, she auteurs her singular truth. Avalon is the maverick voice of a young generation unwilling to conform and incapable of standing still. To watch her work unfold is to stare directly at the kaleidoscope of LA subcultures—a story reborn yet never rewritten.
