Meet Ave: The Bay Area Artist Making Music—and Asking Questions

Ave has more than one way of joining the conversation. The artist also known as Avery Rose Haro is recording music with Bay Area collaborators while stepping into the interviewer’s role herself.

In a January 23, 2026 KTVU report, Estefany Mendez introduced Avery as a ten-year-old from Vallejo whose enthusiasm for local hip-hop brought her into the scene around LaRussell. The segment presents her as both an artist and a reporter, including her questions for broadcaster Gasia Mikaelian. That combination gives this introduction a point beyond age: Ave is participating in the culture she is also curious about.

THE COLLABORATIONS TELL PART OF THE STORY

“We Outside,” credited to Ave, seiji oda, and LaRussell, is one route into her official Spotify catalog. “SummerTime Baby,” with VanVan, offers another collaboration to explore. Follow the credits from record to record and the connections become visible: a young artist’s individual releases sit alongside work with other performers.
