Biography
Expressing interest in music since middle school and inspired by the Japanese pop/electronic group Perfume,{{Cite web| last = Amano| first = Fumiaki| title = 女王蜂アヴちゃん×Mikiko 対談 「人」の力を信じる表現者たち |language=ja | work = cinra.net| accessdate = March 1, 2021| date = May 18, 2017| url = https://www.cinra.net/interview/201705-ziyoouvachi}} Avu-chan formed the band Queen Bee in 2009 with classmates in Kobe, Hyōgo Prefecture. They started performing at their school's cultural festivals and gained considerable popularity doing so, after which Queen Bee went on to perform at live houses in the Kansai region.{{cite web|url=https://i-d.vice.com/jp/article/pagna7/ziyoou-vachi-music-interview-about-q|title=新たな岐路に立った女王蜂 |website=i-D |first=Aya |last=Tsuchii |date=April 11, 2017 |language=ja |accessdate=January 5, 2020}} The band made their first major concert appearance at the Fuji Rock Festival in July 2010,{{cite web|url=https://ticket-news.pia.jp/pia/news.do?newsCd=201006300001|title=10 周年のフジロック「Rookie a Go-Go」。出演者15組が決定 |website=Pia |date=June 1, 2010 |language=ja |accessdate=June 23, 2021}} where they performed as a part of the very selective "Rookie a Go-Go" section, sometimes called the "road to success" for new artists.{{Cite web| last = Kuwahara| first = Ryoko| title = 宇宙特集：Avu-chan from Ziyoou-vachi『Q』Special Photo Shoot & Interview| work = neol.jp| accessdate = March 1, 2021| date = April 2, 2017| url = https://www.neol.jp/culture/55298/2/}} Having released their debut album Witch Hunt independently in March 2011, the band signed to Sony Music Associated Records, and in September of the same year released their second album Peacock.{{cite web |title=女王蜂、2011年秋ついにメジャー・デビュー |url=https://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000070674 |website=Barks |language=ja |date=June 13, 2011 |access-date=February 5, 2019}} The band was called the "Japanese Hedwig" during their debut, as the gender identities of the members remain a secret.{{cite web|url=https://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/16763039/ |title=年齢や性別で人を判断するのって、つまらない――"女王蜂・アヴちゃん"という生き方 |website=Livedoor |first=Aya |last=Hasegawa |date=July 16, 2019 |language=ja |accessdate=January 10, 2020}} Not long after signing a contract with Sony Music, Queen Bee found early success with their song "Desco", which was featured in the romantic comedy film Moteki (2011), where the band had also made a cameo.
In 2013, Avu-chan had to pause all band activities, explaining the decision with burnout and technical inexperience. Unsure whether to return home or stay in Tokyo, Avu-chan decided to continue pursuing music after being encouraged by a staff member at Avu-chan's record label, who insisted that Queen Bee's signing was not a fluke. Around this time, Avu-chan asked an acquaintance, a former Blankey Jet City drummer Tatsuya Nakamura, if the two could create something together, to which he immediately agreed and introduced Avu-chan to bassist KenKen of the band Rize. After spending some time in the studio, the three were later joined by guitarist Ryosuke Nagaoka from Tokyo Jihen, whose presence Avu-chan described as "essential", as it gave a sense of unpredictability to the group.{{cite web|url=https://natalie.mu/music/pp/ziyoou_gokumonto |title=女王蜂VS獄門島一家「金星 / 死亡遊戯」アヴちゃん×KenKenインタビュー |website=Natalie |first=Hirokazu |last=Tanaka |date=July 16, 2019 |language=ja |accessdate=June 1, 2021}} The newly formed supergroup, now known as Gokumontō Ikka, made their debut performance at the Rising Sun Rock Festival in August 2013.{{cite web|url=https://tower.jp/article/news/2013/07/19/n02 |title=〈RSR 2013〉全出演アクト決定! 女王蜂アヴちゃん含む獄門島一家のメンバーも公開 |website=Tower Records |date=July 19, 2019 |language=ja |accessdate=June 23, 2021}} Only touring and releasing demos online at first, the band then released their first extended play Jitsuroku! Gokumontō Ikka during their November 2015 tour. During the hiatus, Avu-chan also collaborated with singer Mariko Gotō for Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: The 20th Anniversary Memorial Tribute in 2014, performing a cover of "Ai no Senshi".{{cite web |last1=Kishino |first1=Ayaka |title=「美少女戦士セーラームーン The 20th Anniversary Memorial Tribute」特集、後藤まりこ×アヴちゃん（女王蜂）対談|trans-title=Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: The 20th Anniversary Memorial Tribute special feature, Mariko Gotō × Avu-chan (Queen Bee) conversation |url=https://natalie.mu/music/pp/sailormoontribute_m/page/3 |website=Natalie |publisher=Natasha |accessdate=June 20, 2018 |language=ja}}
Queen Bee reformed in February 2014 after a one-year hiatus. The band's comeback single, "Venus", was used as the theme song for the drama Spooky Romantics (2015), which preceded their fourth album Kirei (2015). In the same year, Avu-chan collaborated with a South Korean boyband Supernova, writing and performing on the leading track "Jesus", from their sub-unit Funky Galaxy's debut extended play.{{Cite web|url=https://spice.eplus.jp/articles/15376 |title=超新星の新ユニット＆女王蜂アヴちゃん、昼ドラ曲でコラボ |website=Spice |language=ja |date=September 28, 2015|accessdate=January 1, 2021}} In 2016, Queen Bee and Gokumontō Ikka released a split single, "Kinsei" / "Shibō Yūgi".{{cite web|url=https://www.billboard-japan.com/d_news/detail/37133/2 |title=女王蜂のアヴちゃん率いるバンド・獄門島一家 初メジャー音源「死亡遊戯」解禁 |website=Billboard Japan |date=April 19, 2016 |language=ja |accessdate=June 1, 2021}} The packaging for the limited edition of the split single was styled to resemble PlayStation fighting games, with the cover art illustrated by Kinu Nishimura, whose work on the Darkstalkers series has been considered a longtime favorite by Avu-chan.{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/smarinfo/status/717912577867522048|title=『ストリートファイター』など人気ゲームのイラストレーションなどを手掛ける、西村キヌさんによる描きおろしです|author1=Sony Music Associated Records|date=April 7, 2016|website=Twitter|language=ja|access-date=June 23, 2021}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.diskgarage.com/digaonline/pleasure/7728 |title=「教えて！愛用品」～アヴちゃん（女王蜂）編～ |website=Disk Garage |language=ja |date=June 22, 2016|accessdate=June 23, 2021}}

As a child, Avu-chan wondered why people felt the need to ask about heritage and identity, and did not like the word hāfu ("half" the Japanese term for mixed race children), as Avu-chan did not feel like "half" of something.{{cite web|url=https://spice.eplus.jp/articles/188052 |title=女王蜂・アヴちゃん 新曲「HALF」を通じ、自身の表現の核について語る想いとは |website=Spice |first=Yukiko |last=Kajiwara |language=ja |date=May 17, 2018 |accessdate=January 5, 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://cho-animedia.jp/article/2018/05/14/6638.html |title=【インタビュー】女王蜂・アヴちゃん、アニメ『東京喰種:re』ED曲について「どヤンキーサウンドだと思います」 |website=Cho Animedia |language=ja |date=May 14, 2018 |accessdate=January 5, 2020}}
