Folk-pop singer-songwriter Ava Liv Mabry has signed a publishing deal with Reservoir Media. The deal includes her catalog and future works. 

Mabry is the youngest-ever recipient of the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s Abe Olman Award, which recognizes promising young songwriters. She has released four EPs, most recently 2025’s Magnolia. Her debut album, All American Girl Doll, is set for release next year and includes the previously released singles “For the Records,” “Dreamboat,” “Heather,” “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” and “Audrey.” This fall, she will hit the road with Jenna Raine, Jenna Davis, and Parachute after selling out her first headline show at Nashville’s Cannery Hall in July.

Raised on gospel music in Franklin, Tennessee, Mabry began her career busking around her hometown and released her first song at 13. Her songwriting draws from her own experiences, with themes of relationships, family, faith and home. Her music has also been featured in Netflix’s Calabasas Confidential and several Hallmark movies. Earlier this year, Spotify featured Mabry on its Fresh Finds and Fresh Finds Country playlists, following three Apple Music editorial features.

“Ever since I moved to Nashville and started learning the art of songwriting, I have realized just how much companies like Reservoir do for songwriters like me,” says Mabry. “It’s a dream come true partnering with innovators like Greg Gallo and John Ozier at Reservoir! I feel like I get to join a club of people that inspire me most.”

“Ava is an incredible singer-songwriter with a huge amount of well-deserved buzz around her right now,” adds Ozier, Reservoir Executive Vice President of Creative. “She’s the kind of songwriter A&Rs dream of discovering this early in her career. We’re proud to be her publishing home and support her as she launches her debut album, and we can’t wait for the world to hear what’s next.”

She is managed by fellow Reservoir songwriter Sam Tinnesz, and recently signed a record deal with Blue Highway Records.
