He regularly visits Nashville to build professional relationships with top decision-makers in the industry and publishers, which has resulted in several artist cuts and tremendous success in the Sync market.

Ave is highly skilled in writing in both country and pop genres. His songwriting abilities have earned him songwriting awards from American Songwriter Magazine, The Great American Song Contest, and the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. He also won Songtown's Townie Award for Best Pop Song of the Year in October 2023.

Then…Olivia Frances, Avrim Topel, Songwriter, AJ Raggs, Annabella Gelmetti and Anne-Louise Sterry wrote some of the most incredible songs!!! Thank you all for sharing the weekend with Lou Spoltore, Gail Pace and myself! Magic! (And thank you Olivia for the beautiful flowers as well. They are on my piano now.)
