Heather Avalon is a 22-year-old independent singer-songwriter living in Toronto, ON who has been singing since she could speak and writing since the young age of six. Her mother, Allyson Morris, is a Toronto jazz musician who shaped Heather’s life through the art of music. Starting to play piano when she was seven followed by guitar at 10, and Heather would often perform at local bars alongside her mom while she was growing up.
Over the past three and a half years, she has been in and out of the studio writing, recording, and creating as much as possible. Two years since her last release, Heather is coming back even stronger with her new single, “Use Me,” inspired by past heartbreak. Despite consistently making a lot of indie/bedroom pop music in her early days of recording and releasing, she wanted to take the turn from polished pop to a more high energy, rough, rock sound which is exactly what can be heard on “Use Me.”
“Use Me” was recorded with Heather’s best friend and producer Ethan Surman (later including more friends on background vox) which allowed her to really be vulnerable and comfortable in the studio and throughout the recording process.
“Use Me” was inspired by moments of weakness in regards to an ex-partner. The song showcases that no matter how far removed from someone you may be, being single can get lonely and sometimes, as human beings, we crave the comfort and validation from a person so much that we allow them to use us. – Heather Avalon
