California girl Avalon Young was born and raised in San Diego to her parents Kristen and Paul, with little sister Jadin later joining the family.

With a somewhat musically inclined background, Avalon started singing at the same time that she was saying her first words.

She picked up her first guitar when she was 7, listening to the likes of Maroon 5 and The Fray for inspiration.

By the age of 16, Avalon started becoming very involved in the San Diego music scene.

Putting out her first EP, Drowning in You, at the age of 18, she knew that this is what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

Constantly working and bettering her craft, Avalon is currently creating her second EP with Jesse Barrera after winning his contest for young, up & coming artists.

Throughout her journey, Avalon wishes to inspire others to believe in themselves enough to pursue their dreams and work at it everyday.

Avalon has released one EP "Drowning in You".
