Hello! I’m Genesis Staple Soprano, a classical vocalist and performer based in Austin. I’ve been fortunate to stage a variety of repertoire—from classical concerts and opera choruses to jazz ensembles and musical theatre—while studying at the University of Texas at Austin. My performance work has included solo appearances, chorale leadership, and collaborative pieces with guest artists, all of which have helped me grow as a versatile singer and ensemble performer. I thrive in collaborative settings and enjoy bringing characters and stories to life through voice. I’m currently pursuing a B.M. in Voice Performance and look forward to opportunities that challenge me to explore new styles, languages, and dramatic interpretations.
