Today, we are thrilled to introduce you to an up and coming young musician, Anna, who goes by her artist name AV. She is a friend of Fanny’s, soon-to-be nursing student, and extraordinary artist.
“Guess I’m A Ghost” is the debut EP from Boston-based teen artist Anna Vrahliotis, who goes by her stage name AV. It is a six-track personal coming-of-age journey that reflects the observant outsider tone of her generation, while delving deep into her own story.
Throughout this record, AV discusses a time in her life where she lost touch with her sense of self, and fought to get it back. She wrote this record between 2019 and 2020 when she, like so many young women transitioning into adulthood, felt hunted and vulnerable in this world. The album captures the loneliness that follows trauma, and the triumph of overcoming it.
The title track “Guess I’m A Ghost” shows us a girl wondering how she got to this isolating place, as she contemplates whether or not it was her fault she ended up there. Later in the record, with lyrics like “I built a house from a broken home, and I lived without your antidote,” we see this same girl realizing her self-worth and accepting that her experiences did not damage her, but only made her stronger.
AV. Collaborated with Nashville-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Josh Preston of Me and The Machine Records to bring this story to life, in a 16-hour marathon recording session.
