Lava Hong is a classically trained singer, songwriter, composer, and music supervisor from Shenzhen, China, now based in Los Angeles. Her music blends cinematic indie pop, electronic ambience, and the lyrical sensibilities of Chinese ballads with the storytelling traditions of Western songwriting.

Raised between the worlds of Western classical training and the melodic elegance of Mandarin pop, Lava creates music that feels both intimate and expansive. Her voice moves from a delicate whisper to soaring, sustained power, carrying emotion with a rare clarity that draws listeners into her world.

With more than one million streams worldwide, Lava has built a growing international audience. Her collaboration Forget About Us with No Mana and nuphory on Monstercat surpassed one hundred thousand streams in its first weeks, bringing her introspective writing into electronic music while maintaining its cinematic core.

Her compositions have also been featured in film, television, and trailers, including a Golden Trailer Award nomination in 2024. On stage, she has performed across Los Angeles, New York, and Austin, where her shows are known for their immersive and emotionally charged atmosphere.

Often compared to artists such as Lana Del Rey, Aurora, Sia, Evanescence, Sara Bareilles, RAYE, Imogen Heap, and Chinese pop star G.E.M., Lava stands at the intersection of Eastern and Western traditions, dedicated to creating songs that hold space for vulnerability, memory, and transformation.
