Rising Los Angeles-based pop singer and songwriter Dava is back with a fresh new single perfect for your summer playlists. Dava has been on our watch list because of her recent single “Asos.” which amassed over a million streams on streaming platforms. It is no surprise that Dava is a superstar in the making. She has been getting a lot of support from Spotify editorial playlists and well known publications. Her talent, branding and incredible voice are out of this world. Recently signing to Disruptor Records, home of The Chainsmokers, Dava is creating her own lane of pop music and making an impact.

On the inspiration behind her new single, Dava shares, “I made ‘Sticky’ with some of my best friends, it's probably the happiest record we've ever created. I was listening to a lot of Gwen and Beastie Boys and throughout the process of making this song we found a lot of freedom in taking such a clean sound and pairing it with the surprise bridge. That's my favorite thing about music - the freedom of putting as much of you into a song as possible. I think 'Sticky' is the perfect record to leave behind before a new era.”

Dava has quickly carved a sonic space that she can already call her own: a cozy cushion of warm R&B, palpable pop and flourishes of emo with cherry-sweet vocals and an honest, emotional core in the lane. Dava grew up between Oklahoma and Texas, spending much of her life being raised by her grandmother after her mother passed away when she was eight years old. Music became an escape, as she taught herself to write songs on a guitar her mother gifted her. At 18, Dava moved to Colorado, finding her voice as a singer-songwriter through coffee shop open mics. Following the release of a few SoundCloud tracks, the now Los Angeles-based artist quickly built a grassroots following.

With her debut EP due out later this year, Dava lays it all bare, exploring her breadth as an artist and introducing herself as a need-to-know force who’s sharing her story with sharp melodies and insight to match.
