No A/C, no consistent food, no plan beyond surviving the next week. At fifteen he found his older brother dead from suicide.</p><p style="text-align: center;">He responded the only way he knew how: he channeled his grief and started recording. Over the next two years,he wrote and released more than 100 songs while moving furniture by day and recording until 4am.</p><p style="text-align: center;">His TikTok “Broke Boyfriend” series — a sketch comedy series he started on the platform — amassed over 160 million views and helped him build a large audience that fell in love with his personality and sense of humour.</p><p style="text-align: center;">In 2024, his father died by suicide. Av wrote "I'd Rather Overdose" on the drive home. That song changed everything, with 157.6 million streams and a presence on the Billboard chart. The MOD SUN remix peaked at #21 on Alternative Radio. 622K+ TikTok creates.</p><p style="text-align: center;">In March 2026 it was RIAA Gold Certified. One month later, the plaque was handed to Av on stage by mgk at the final show of their Australian arena run. A major cosign from one of alt rock's most influential figures — and a signal that honestav has arrived in the genre's mainstream.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>About Live Nation Entertainment</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;">Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE: LYV) is the world’s leading live entertainment company comprised of globalmarket leaders: Ticketmaster, Live Nation Concerts, and Live Nation Media & Sponsorship.
