Renée Yoxon is a queer, non-binary, and disabled singer, songwriter, and teacher. Renée has over ten years of vocal coaching experience, has released four full-length albums, and has received multiple awards and recognitions. They are the founder of the Right to Sing Award, a scholarship program designed to provide free voice lessons to trans and disabled singers. Recently, Renée has completed studying in the Irish World Academy’s MA Songwriting program at the University of Limerick, for which they received the Stepping Stones Scholarship. During their masters, Renée refined their art practice as a mode through which they can process the oppression, pain, trauma, joy, healing, and love at the centre of their marginalized identities. Their forthcoming work seeks to find new footing outside of jazz, drawing in influences from the pop, folk, and rock spheres to create a fresh sonic landscape over which their unique experiences as transgender, queer, and disabled can reside.
