Elevate Vocal Arts

Founded in 2021 and launched in 2023, EVA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that creates and expands creative workforce development opportunities for individuals from historically marginalized communities to develop as professional Vocal Artists. We nurture the talent of individuals who speak to our time's relevant issues through music, storytelling, and spoken word, strengthening our democracy. It is our vision that all Vocal Artists have access to workforce development opportunities to further economic equity and their individual earning potential. We increase access to vocal arts education for youth, while elevating vocal idioms and genres such as Spirituals, Gospel, Jazz, Hip-Hop, R&B, and Pop.
