Alex Koi is a vocalist, composer/producer, and improvising musician. Her music is the mystical translation between the privacy of her inner world and the somatic extrication of such. Through polyphonic narrative, ecstatic release, and coy murmurs, she bends between her diverse musical influences in the avant-garde, opera, Jazz, and electronic music. She has had the privilege of collaborating with musicians, composers, visual artists, directors and dancers at venues such as Lincoln Center, the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Joe's Pub, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival, and more. She recently played the combined role of Tracy Dunn/Jillian Gilchrist in the Off-Broadway production of "Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower", Toshi Reagon's theatrical adaptation of the beloved novel.
Centering the emotionality of the human experience, she creates an explosive sound that has been called “impossibly stunning” [Stereo Stickman], “primal and futuristic at the same time” [Current Magazine] and that “bends between operatic and punk rock” [Audiofemme].
She was a Teaching Artist with Ann Arbor’s University Musical Society and has conducted guest artist teaching workshops in voice and performance at Carnegie Mellon University, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, the University of Merry Washington, and the University of Michigan. She has taught private voice lessons at numerous performing arts organizations including Brooklyn Music School, Expressions Music Academy, Dance Dynamics, and Third Wave Music. Additionally, she enjoys baking fancy cakes, loves reading, hiking, and making demo videos for Red Panda Lab’s effects pedals.
