CARYS’s approach to music as a vessel for unfiltered emotions has clearly connected with young audiences around the globe.

Rising pop star CARYS (Aviva Mongillo) started her music career under the mononym Aviva. It was with that name that she originally released “Princesses Don’t Cry”. The track racked up millions of user-generated videos and, in turn, tens of millions of streams, and cemented CARYS’ trajectory as a pop star on the rise.

Her new single ‘Psychic’ is a power-pop anthem about unrequited love that sticks in your head like sour bubblegum. “I would describe the new music as all about making dark things fun,” she laughs, a wry smile palpable in her voice. “That's been my motive going forward.” The infectious, alt-inflected track is a perfect representation of CARYS’ songwriting ethos. With a teen-movie vibe and a euphoric chorus bursting over glittering guitar lines, ‘Psychic’ hides serious emotional weight in a tongue-in-cheek package.

CARYS has previously been pegged as a “One To Watch” on ET Canada, while Riot Magazine finds “her magnetic energy…infectious.”
