Holland Andrews (they/them) is a vocalist, composer, producer, and performer whose work focuses on the abstraction of operatic and extended-technique voice to build soundscapes encompassing both catharsis and dissonance. Frequently highlighting themes surrounding vulnerability and healing, Andrews arranges music for voice, clarinet, and electronics. By blending live processing of voice and clarinet along with synth and based electronic music produced by Andrews, they create a realm of live performance that is boundlessly present and expansive. Notable musical collaborations include Nils Frahm, Son Lux, Christina Vantzou, William Brittelle, Peter Broderick, and Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste. Andrews also develops and performs soundscapes for dance, theater, sound installations, and film, and their work is toured internationally with artists such as Bill T. Jones, Sonya Tayeh, Dorothée Munyaneza, and Will Rawls. They have two sound installations featured in the 2024 Whitney Biennial exhibition and will be part of the Biennial’s performance program. Andrews is a Guggenheim Fellow, Creative Capital Awardee, Foundation for Contemporary Arts Awardee and United States Artists Fellow.
