Ava Lynn Marjorie Brignol (born July 19, 1996), known professionally as Bava or bava_qt, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and YouTuber. She is best known for co-writing DJ Snake's 2018 song "Taki Taki". Bava was born in Boston to a Haitian American family. She began playing piano as a child, hence –after graduating at Harvard University– she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her passion for music. Bava released her debut EP "Imitate" in July 2023. On the creation of her single "I Wish", Bava explained I was so drained by a past relationship. I felt like my entire identity was wrapped up in theirs; that when people thought of me, they thought of us. I wanted to express that frustration somehow and headed to the piano to try. As a songwriter, Bava found success with the hit single "Taki Taki". The hit single is performed by DJ Snake with Selena Gomez, Cardi B, and Ozuna. The song went No. 1 at Latin rhythmic and pop formats,[2] debuted at number one on the Hot Latin Songs in the United States, and stayed for over four weeks at the top of the Spotify Global 50 chart.
