Biography
Aurelia (she/they) sprung from the mind of New York-born producer, vocalist, and visual artist Gabriella Bavaro, conjured up a world of electronic and experimental music that is bolstered by her eclectic background of classical instrumentation, opera, and world influenced rhythms.
The Aurelia project has been in development for the past 2 years, sparked into reality after a suicide attempt/hospitalization and a PTSD diagnosis that caused them to begin living on their own terms. Gabriella, who then picked up Ableton and began songwriting in 2019, took to sound with fullness and intentionality that has seen immense growth. Finally released in November of 2021, Aurelia’s debut single “Wax”, was a success, accumulating more than 70,000 plays online, as well as garnered industry recognition by the likes of EDM.com, RiverBeats, Electric Hawk, and more. The video, which accompanied the release, was an official selection of the Indie Shorts Fest, part of the Lost Angeles International Film Festival, and was nominated for Best Music Award, Best Director, and Best Original Composition in January of 2021.
Aurelia has also received writing and production credits for notable electronic independent acts like artists Icarus Moth and Ehiorobo, as well as larger corporations like Coca-Cola and Mercedez Benz for commercial work.
Both as a visual artist and producer, Aurelia has worked with an intent to use art as both a personal healing process and a way to illuminate darker issues that have more often plagued women and LGBTQ+ youth.
