VIOLENT VIRA

VIOLENT VIRA channels her music from traumatic yet deeply relatable life experiences and extraordinary empathy for the world around her. That sensitivity manifests at both extremes, swinging between beguiling melodies and cathartic screams. The Mexican-American songstress born Amy Gonzalez, alongside bandmates Anthony Brown and Matt Bolling, has quietly emerged as a hard rock phenomenon with hundreds of millions of streams and dozens of sold-out shows. ​ Born to first-generation Mexican parents, she found solace in art. She went from listening to Mexican pop juggernaut RBD to obsessing over Selena and Michael Jackson before later discovering Evanescence, Linkin Park, Asking Alexandria and Three Days Grace. ​ Her 2023 EP, Till’ Death Was Never Enough, produced fan favorites “Collar of Truth” and “You’re Not Gone, You’re Just Dead!” She later relocated to Texas and signed with MOM+POP. Beyond selling out headline tours, she has appeared at major festivals including Aftershock, RIOT Fest, SICK NEW WORLD, Welcome To Rockville, and more. ​ Now, VIOLENT VIRA returns sounding like someone clawing their way back to life against all odds as an artist/band.
