Bio

With a voice described as “a thick ephemera” (New York Times), “aching emotional intensity” (JazzTimes), “extraordinary” (DownBeat), and “haunting” (All About Jazz) vocalist, scholar, and multi instrumentalist ganavya lives, learns, and loves fluidly from the nexus of many frameworks and understandings. Her recent works include a ritual gathering to honor Swami Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda titled Daughter of a Temple, this body is so impermanent… (2021; directed by Peter Sellars), and Jerome Foundation commission Let’s Go Out and Play (2021).
