Happy Wednesday! This week’s #HAPPENS Alternative Artist Discovery is Ava Maybee. She says, “I had been trying to write Call It What You Want for a really long time about a friendship breakup I went through a couple years back but nothing ever clicked and it wasn’t right.

She is homies with Cameron Whitcomb from American Idol from season 20. Her father is Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.
