Having always been a lover of stories and made-up worlds, she has fed her passion for self-expression with a healthy lifestyle of creativity and writing. Since breaking into the music world in 2017, she has explored the themes of control and isolation and this can be seen in the themes explored in her writing as well. AViVA has said her music is about a 'Outsider's perspective and she is on a quest to help people feel a sense of strength around their identity and feel empowered to be themselves. AViVA once said she was always the "quirky" kid at school which was where she first felt like an Outsider herself. Her passion for performing arts and writing meant she often spent time in the library reading and writing or in the music classrooms.
AViVA grew up in a musical family. She started violin lessons when was 4 years old, and then studied piano before beginning classical vocal training and teaching herself guitar. AViVA attended high school at Mercy College in Chatswood, New South Wales, Australia and studied theatre and secondary education at the University of Notre Dame Australia eventually becoming a full time author and musician in 2018.
AViVA's debut novel SELF/LESS was released in October 2021 and the sequel RELENTLESS is due for release in August 2022. She has toured with artists such as Poppy and YUNGBLUD. She is also playing at MADCOOL festival in Madrid in 2022 and Riot Fest in Chicago in September 2022.

Aviva Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still I can't believe what you say
Quaking at the knees
What will you do to me?
I can see pain, you can guarantee
Vicious, you got me
Still, I can't believe what you need
Patient absentee but you still wait for me
Oh, my thoughts keep crashing down
Oh, my life's unraveling
Oh, my thoughts keep crashing down
Keep crashing down
Got me kinda twisted, think you've got me now
Got me kinda twisted, time is running out
Got me in the worst way, got me in the best way
Now you got me thinking you're no competition
Think you've got it twisted 'cause I've got you now
Wicked kinda dreams but I'm no one's girl, my blood runs free
Fight for my beliefs
Know what you'll do to me
I can see pain, you can guarantee
Oh, my thoughts keep crashing down
Oh, my life's unraveling
Oh, my thoughts keep crashing down
Keep crashing down
Got me kinda twisted, think you've got me now
Got me kinda twisted, time is running out
Got me in the worst way, got me in the best way
Now you got me thinking you're no competition
Think you've got it twisted 'cause I've got you now
Time is running out
Time is running out
Time is running out
Time is running out
Got me kinda twisted, think you've got me now
Got me kinda twisted, time is running out
Got me in the worst way, got me in the best way
Now you got me thinking you're no competition
Think you've got it twisted 'cause I've got you now
Aviva's song "Twisted" captures a relationship dynamic that is both mesmerizing and disturbing at the same time. The opening lines of the song read "Vicious, you got me/ Still I can't believe what you say." The lyrics reveal the singer's love interest to be manipulative and cruel, yet the singer is unable to resist the attraction. She experiences fear and uncertainty, as indicated by "Quaking at the knees/What will you do to me?" Nevertheless, the singer acknowledges that she can see pain as well, emphasizing that both parties in the relationship are hurting.
Throughout the song, the singer reflects on her life and her beliefs while struggling with the turmoil caused by the relationship. The line "Sorting through all of my life's debris" may allude to the process of self-discovery that occurs during challenging times. The chorus lyrics, "Got me kinda twisted, think you've got me now/Time is running out" further underscore the singer's bewilderment.
