Joannah Lodico

Hello, my name is Joannah Lodico, and I believe that music and the performing arts transform people’s lives. Raised in Ohio and Michigan, I spent my childhood days dreaming and playing pretend in a backyard full of fruit, and later surrounded by forest. I have had a love of music and the arts since a young age. I spent most of my time in my mind with imaginary friends, writing stories, composing music, painting, and creating worlds. In high school my own life was transformed through the power of music which got me through difficult times. Because of this passion and experience, I pursued my undergraduate degree in music, focused on vocal performance. I became fascinated with the intricate details of composer’s lives; what influenced their music personally and culturally. Over time I came to realize that I not only enjoyed studying the history of all genres and styles of music, but also the history of all forms of artistic expression, especially in cultures. I am someone who constantly wants to learn, reflect, and creatively implement what I take in and process personally and professionally. When I am moved and excited about something, I make it happen. I am excited for new and creative ventures where I can create opportunity for transformation.
