Avara is an Indian-American singer, producer, and storyteller weaving R&B, soul, and experimental pop into something entirely her own. Her music feels like late-night conversations—intimate, cinematic, and achingly real. Raised between Atlanta and Austin and now based in Los Angeles, Avara draws from a rich tapestry of classical Indian music, 2000s R&B, and contemporary soul, threading it all through a lens of deep emotionality and sonic curiosity.
With co-signs from artists like SZA, H.E.R., and Jeremih, millions of streams across platforms, and a mixtape (a softer place to land) that’s already redefining what healing sounds like, Avara is one of the most compelling new voices in alternative R&B/soul. Her rise has been fueled not just by the music, but by a growing community captivated by her self-directed content—breathtaking visuals, behind-the-scenes glimpses into her production process, and vulnerable storytelling that pulls back the curtain on what it means to create. This rare combination of sonic depth and visual intimacy has led to viral moments across TikTok and Instagram, making her both an artist’s artist and a fan favorite."
