Avin Ahmadi

Avin Ahmadi’s music is driven by a deeply emotional and narrative approach, and Liminal, her debut EP, is an intensely personal work. Through her creative process, she gives voice to her innermost emotions, thoughts, and experiences.

“Liminal means existing in the in-between,” she explains. “Between who I was and who I am becoming; between the intimate act of creating and the vulnerability it requires.”

For Ahmadi, music also serves as a form of protection. “The beautiful thing about music is that you can hide something deeply personal inside it. That makes it a little less intimate, but it remains intimate for those who are able to discover it. That’s what I love about it.”
