Biography
Ava Brienna Polyi (Ava Breeze) was born Sept. 3rd 2006 in New Jersey. Avas first entrance into the acting/modeling world was at age 5, and very much by accident! The night before a Times Square event for "Home Run Bandages" partnered with MLB. Their booked "little girl" called out. Avas mother was with the CEO of the brand when this call came in. When Avas photo was shown, she was immediately cast...She was a natural and had the best day ever....
After Ava participated in some campaigns and events, she eventually got a head shot, and an agency. (She kinda did it backwards) She participated in Runway events, background for many shows, and "fit modeling" for almost every household name brand.
Ava has a unique life, as her sister Lyra, has special needs. Lyra has a rare disease without a name yet, only identified by the gene marker. (DHX-30) Lyra does not have the ability to walk, talk, use her arms with purpose, eat solid food, or maintain body temperature. Lyra also has seizures, and a high threshold for pain and never cries. Ava has always advocated for her sister! It wasn't until she was bullied, that she started "Avas Advocacy Army" to educate people on special needs, with the thought that bullies were just ignorant to the truth and through education it could stop! Her bully became her best friend! Her mission with "Avas Army" continues!
In relation to her professional endeavors, it wasn't until she changed agencies, that she landed large campaigns like "fidget spinners" at the height of their popularity, Zoe Ltd for Niemen Marcus, Outer Stuff for web advertising, and the National commercial, print ads, and Billboard campaign for Feeding America. Ava became "the face of child hunger in America"
The pandemic hit, as much larger opportunities were on the burners, Which became opportunities lost. During this idle time, Ava worked on her music and honing her acting skills. Reading books, taking online and virtual classes, participating in monologue challenges, and the writing of 9 original songs!
Ava decided she wanted to truly "Go for her dreams"! She auditioned for a role, immediately as the industry opened up. Ava landed the main character, Judith, in a web/streaming series called "Irreverand".
Simultaneous to filming, Ava also began recording her music. With pandemic mandates slowly being lifted, she wasn't wasting any time and the music video for her first song was made. Ava is also a competitive cheerleader, and her team (during the pandemic) earned a bid to compete in Orlando at the D2 Summit! That experience proved very rewarding, tho complicated as NJ pandemic restrictions were still in place. Ava maintained high honor roll at school during all of her "extra" activities! She is currently finishing her album, cheering competitively, and completing the series.
Ava is a high School Sophomore and hopes to have more professional opportunities, in these coming months, as her songs are released.
She still lives in NJ with her family.
