Under the stage name Ava, her song "Take Away the Pain" was published in May 2013. In July 2015, the Canadian DJ and producer duo Project 46 released a remixed version of the song. After years of having demos rejected from record producers and songwriters, she met record producer Cirkut a dinner party in LA where she sang “Happy Birthday” to him. According to Max, Cirkut “opened up a lot of doors” for her. They began to work on music together. In July 2016, she released the song "Anyone But You", one of many songs she worked on with Cirkut, on SoundCloud. The song gained traction and attracted the attention of various record labels that contacted her through email, ultimately leading her to sign a record deal.
