Career

Gavanski had considered following her father Ogden into the film industry. After developing her music for a year she released her first EP, Spring Demos, in 2017 via Fox Food Records.
In 2019 Gavanski released two singles, "One by One" and "Catch"; both were co-produced by Mike Lindsay of Tunng.
Gavanski recorded two sessions for BBC Radio 6 Music's Marc Riley show in 2019. In early 2020, Gavanski supported Damien Jurado on his European tour.
On 27 March 2020, Gavanski released her debut full-length album, Yesterday Is Gone. Exclaim! music magazine, which had declared Gavanski as one of "eight emerging Canadian artists you should hear," awarded the album 9/10. Music website Monkeybiz described the album as "a beautiful work of art". BBC Radio 6 Music made Yesterday Is Gone its album of the week.
The tour to promote Yesterday Is Gone was postponed, initially until later in 2020 and subsequently until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
