guitarist and composer
alana amore colvin (she/they) is a Brooklyn based composer, guitarist, and singer-songwriter. colvin’s work explores the intersections between jazz, classical, folk and alt-rock leaning heavily into their perception of modern American folk music. They often write for unconventional mediums such as boomwhackers or toy instruments as a way of experimenting with well established mediums and genres. colvin is often in conversation with the socio-political issues impacting Black, brown, and queer bodies in the U.S. as well as in Europe. In more self-reflective works, she is known for her vulnerability, naive, and some-what childlike nature. In all their work colvin aims to highlight and bring into community women of color and will often prioritize collaborations that celebrate marginalized communities in spaces where they were previously or historically known to be unwelcome. colvin’s work is always intended to disrupt.
