Welcome to my website! I’m April, a professional singer with extensive experience performing both solo and ensemble roles in shows, concerts, and various creative projects. I am a versatile singer who finds joy and value in all styles and genres of singing. I am proud to be affiliated with both SAG-AFTRA and AGMA, and have built a career grounded in professionalism, musical integrity, expressive artistry, and collaboration. I have been a roster soprano of the Los Angeles Master Chorale since 2017.
If you are a composer, I love collaborating to premiere new works. If you are looking to hire a soprano for an event or gig, I’m excited to hear about your project! If you are looking to study with a voice teacher, I work with students of all levels and backgrounds from a framework of care, equity, and meeting individual student’s needs where they currently are. I hold my Doctorate of Musical Arts in Voice Performance from UC Santa Barbara.
With a strong background in both live and recorded projects, I’m available for upcoming gigs, special events, and creative opportunities.

Upcoming Performances
I will be singing the role of Alicia in the premiere of the new opera, The Center Cannot Hold: Part 3 at the Semel Institute Auditorium on June 27, 28, & 29. The composer, Dr. Kenneth Wells, is a UCLA psychiatrist and researcher who has written a new opera based on his friend, USC Professor Elyn Saks’ acclaimed 2007 memoir, “The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness,” which details her lifelong experience with schizophrenia, from her first psychotic experiences in high school to ascending the ranks of academia at a prestigious law school.
