Avé's new merch line
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Avé began singing in church at age six. At 11, they joined the Philadelphia Boys Choir & Chorale, where the singer’s uncommon vocal talent blossomed and where they learned eight-part vocal harmonies. They launched a solo career in 2011 and released two albums—2012’s The Real ME and 2015’s SPelChek—as Matt Edwards. More recently, the singer rebranded and changed their stage name to Avé.

"Welcome Philly native and Philadelphia Boys’ Choir alum, Avé ... 'Your Heart Belongs To Somebody Else,' has a title that could have been the title of the first R&B song ever written, but has a snap that calls to mind that wonderful throughline to the now... It's a mood."
